I'm not. I watched Highlights of both. They seem like the same players. Wonder why they are not giving Ferguson another chance.... or release him trade him whatever

Ferguson does not have the size nor speed this guy does.

Coming out of college I would have said Ferguson was more elusive, but he has been underwhelming professionally.

Exactly. This is a guy who you want to get the ball in space and let him go to work, not a guy you want to run up the middle 20 times a game.

Guys play scheme-specific roles all over the league. He may turn into a true lead back, but his floor fills a need for this team.

He has a tendency to cough up the football. Hopefully, like Tiki Barber, this can be coached out of him.

Seems like he will make a few big plays but also hurt the team with dumb mistakes. Watching clips of this guy, the way he holds the ball is really stupid. It is hard to imagine this guy ever being a 3 down back. If he sticks with the team I think it's as a committee, with another back taking the tough yardage runs.

Mack seems like a space player. Dangerous in the open field. But will need to learn how to read blockers and be patient. A lot of his big plays seem like lucky accidents where he reversed field, squirted through, and then was not tackled easily. Which is useful, he just doesn't seem like a complete back at all.

Surprised to see he ran a 4.5, seems a lot faster than that on the field.

Sorry for the giant image, wish we could shrink the max image size a bit

[sherck]

That is sweet, Wyatt. I did not think that Mack was a good pass blocker but those stats show that he is.

That is a good deal.

I keep reading mack has breakaway speed yet I see his 40 time is 4.5. Fast but not a blazer.
