That was a joke. I’ve said many times today how poor I thought his vision was, so when you said that, I just went with it. Quote Link to comment

The clip I pointed out is exactly how Held coaches that. He’s commented this offseason on how he wants Mills to adjust his style, and I think the reasoning was on full display today.

Mo didn't have to run behind a Jurgens snapping line. 1 Quote Link to comment

ActualCornHusker Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Truly elite RBs would have a mixture of everything - Speed, agility, power, shiftiness. (Ameer Abdullah) If I were to have to choose between the different types, it would really depend on the type of offense I'm running. If it's a spread like what we run now, I'll choose small shifty RBs all day. Get them into open space and make guys miss. If it's a pro style offense, I'll take a strong bulldozer for RB. They can carry 25-30 times in a game and hold up. My unsolicited 2 cents... 1 Quote Link to comment

(Ameer Abdullah) Abdullah was great but I'm not sure I'd really say he had a lot of power. I think Rex Burkhead was the closest we've had to having everything. He wasn't that fast but fast enough. Everything else he was great at. Quote Link to comment

Abdullah was on the smaller side, but he ran between the tackles pretty damn well and had enough strength (due to his weight room work ethic) to break tackles and fall forward when tackled Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Speed, Quickness, Agility type >>> Size, Toughness, Breaking tackles type Mills goes nowhere on this play. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'd still say that power is an important part of playing RB. Wandale gets thrown around like a rag doll at times, and it speaks volumes about his toughness that he continues to get up after those big hits. Quote Link to comment
