Martinez Best Cane RB in 8 years

[bshaw28]

This post been up for over five hours and no @bshaw28 response? Either he's nursing a hangover or his people need to start looking for him.

Career YPC:

Martinez - 6.1
Homer - 6.0
Dallas - 5.8
Walton - 5.1

The disrespect to Travis Homer & Deejay Dallas is real.

Homer was a very solid college RB. Really
Enjoyed his running style.

Roomba and DeeJay Dallas are better than this guy.

both homer and dallas are NFL running backs into their SECOND contracts.

This was a surprisingly muted response.

Homer was the last rb that could house any run play
He never got caught from the back
All I care is a rb that won’t get caught after 15-20 yds and actually pulls away
can he do that ?

 

[rberryjr]

Nope this guy looks bigger and faster than Duke

This guy is really good. Duke Johnson was a cheat code.

The disrespect for Lamar Miller’s 2010 season is real. 6.0 yrds per carry. Boys forget how good he was.

Who was the last running back good as him? I’m curious

Deejay Dallas

 

[simplycanes]

Parrish could be frustrating and confusing. He would get stuffed at the LOS by a couple defenders and somehow manage to get a 3 yard gain out of nothing. Next play, he would have wide open lane and get touched by the defender closest to him and fall down.

But man, could he bang that ball hard in frustration though!!

And Gus Edwards is on his 3rd NFL contract.

So 8 years ago - we had a 6-1/238 RB who just ran for 800 yds & 13 TD's in his 6th NFL season.

But Gus is NOT our most talented RB in the last 8 years?

There’s a difference between talent and productivity

I agree.

Example - Henry Parrish was more productive last year, but IMO Mark Fletcher is more talented.

To do what Gus has done in the NFL - that takes talent.

I liked both those guys and Homer could move.

Deejay was so underrated. Kid showed up in big games with a terrible OL. Martinez is better but I would’ve loved to see DD with this offensive line.

Who ran Cam down once he broke containment?

Dude - DeeJay was SO overrated. When did he ever show up in a big game???

Look at these numbers & it's easy to see Mark Walton was much better than DeeJay Dallas

@JHallCanes @JamesQuall @No_Fly_Zone @AlexCane - there ya go

Walton’s carries and yards look like Ukaleles attempts and completions stats

 

[bshaw28]

Walton was a great all-around player but I think Martinez has him beat as a runner. He is 230 pounds and just turned 20. Ran for over 2,000 yards in his teens during the peak of the Pac 12.

This guy is really good. Duke Johnson was a cheat code.

I’m saying pure size , power and speed . Duke was small . . This guy is 40 pounds heavier than duke
