Brandon Jacobs like a Bull?

by netsareboss on Feb 21, 2012 6:51 PM EST

Found this ESPN (yes I know, its ESPN) video about Brandon Jacobs. It's one of those Sports Science things. I'll let the video do the talking. Btw it's old so some people may have seen this.

Is that really how hard he hits? It sure doesn't look like that when he's playing in the game. I knew he used to be a monster but this was made on about a year and a half ago and I don't remember him being that huge of an offensive force. What do you think happened? Why isn't he so dominant any more if he can still plow through players like this. Why does it seem at times that he plays so much smaller than his size?

By the way, I give that man props for taking a hit from BJ. He probably had like tons of padding but still. It musta hurt.

If you've all seen this and this is really old and blah blah etc etc, I'll take it down.

it is fairly old but still good stuff.

I’m on record as wanting to bring the big fella back.

I hope he is w/ the team next year.

How about using him as a TE.

This is not the 2007 team.

He is a great blocker,

he can run and catch and rush when he can. He knows the system and he likes his QB (Eli). He does not want to move from the metropolitan area and is willing to take a pay cut. He likes the team and knows that he has a chance to win another ring here. ’

So why not.

When your Oline produces minimal holes

It is just stupid to try and plow into the back of a 2000 pound wall. So Jacobs does his tip-toe thing(being patient and hoping a hole opens up. Jacobs is a huge dude. He needs a bit more than a crack or a crevice to go into. He needs a hole and when there isn’t one then he just doesn’t feel like its worth it to plow ahead for no gain or minimal gain. When there is a hole he does hit it with strength like an ox and he does lower the boom. The OLine has been in a decline the past few seasons. You cannot expect your RBs to be nearly as productive when there is nowhere to run…I’d love to see Jacobs back next season, but he will need to take a massive pay cut.

both backs don't fit here

Jacobs needs dudes who get more of a push, and Bradshaw needs a line that blocks more behind the play cuz inevitably he’s gonna try and cut back the other way.

What we need here is a one cut and go RB with some real speed.
