This is the same old problem with Demps. Demps goes down with arm
tackles.
Against weak opponents, when our OL blows open huge holes - Demps,
Rainey,
Gillislee and just about anyone else - takes it for a TD.
Whereas Gillislee breaks tackles - and picks up more yards per
carry. We
get the best of both worlds with Gillislee.
Isn't this the Barry Sanders vs. Emmitt argument?
Emmitt was far more consistent; broke tackles; gained yards.
Barry had more rushes for a loss than just about any RB in the
history of the NFL.
But, when Barry broke free - it was goodbye.
Barry's averages were probably better, but his standard of deviation
was all over the map.
I feel the same way about Demps. 1 yard carry, 1 yard carry, 3 yard
loss, BOOM - 70 yard TD.
I like having that big play potential; and the thunder and lightning
aspect of combining it with a more consistent power runner like
Gillislee.
