Elliott Film Room: Lots of GIFs and Vines

If it matters to you: Paragraph 1 - breath/breathe.

It does. Thank you.

I would trade Zeke for Gurley right now.

You saying that means something lol

Id agree with you, and not a knock on Zeke

Gurley is an absolute monster

 

[theogt]

Like I said before we drafted him after doing film study on him -- he has no flaws. If I had to nit pick, it'd be faster top end speed

But even his top end speed is pretty damn good, bordering on elite.

This is the scouting report that was brought on by the earlier "Elliott Blocking Vine". Warning.. there are a lot of GIFs and Vines, so please be patient as it loads.

I would love to hear all of your criticism and feedback. Thank you all. Feel free to copy the GIFs/Vines and post them into this thread.

I was a Ramsey guy, but no denying the greatness of Zeke. Glad you came around

Gurley is going to be a good one but he really did fizzle down the stretch. He got off to a red hot start with four magnificent games but was just okay after that. I do think he is a better player than Doug Martin but Martin looked like the next Emmitt Smith after a few good games his rookie year and then cooled off.

I expect Zeke to show some more consistency for us next year.

Also consider what Gurley has around him. No QB and below average OL and very little help in the receiving corps. He had very little support from keeping teams from keying on him

Couldn't take the rest of the article serious when you said you didn't have Elliot as your top rated back pre draft TBH. That's just ludicrous. BTW are you Marcus_Mosher on Twitter? Saw the article earlier.

Yes.

 

[RomoFor6]

Yes.

I'm assuming you had/have Henry ahead of Elliot? Why/how??

 

[RomoFor6]

Gurley is a better running back.

No he's not. He's a better runner

He was the best RB in the country, playing in the best conference on the best team. And oh yeah, he was the Heisman trophy winner. He's got elite measurables and elite talent in a power/inside zone scheme. He's not well rounded like Elliott, but I think his strengths are stronger than Elliott. EE just has more of them.

I think Henry's biggest knock was the fact that he's a one cut runner and his agility and footwork is below par. I think because of that, he will be a niche player in the league, coming in on short yardage but not a bell cow. Reminds me of Ron Dayne or TJ Duckett. But hey, that's just my opinion. Could be right but could just as easily be wrong.

Side note: This video of Henry doing agility drills is comical. I hope he's not going 100%. Not that it means he's a bad running back, just funny to watch.

It was his first day of doing those drills... but my goodness, he didn't look good.

Henry sure isn't nimble, that's for sure. He will run over some guys but if you get to him before he gets up a head of steam, he's going down.

Just watching his game tape vs Elliott's game tape, there is no comparison, IMO. That may just be me though.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Hard to argue. People discount what Gurley did last year. Poor OL, poor QB, poor receiving threats

Yup.

 

[AsthmaField]

Those jump-cuts in the 2nd and 3rd vine are things of beauty. So fast laterally.

 

[AsthmaField]

On another note... why can't I get the vines to embed? I'm doing something wrong.

 

[AsthmaField]

Yup.

Yeah, he didn't have much help.

 

[Seven]

He fumbled four times.

Unacceptable. .......

 

[CherBoyWade]

Very well written piece, don't find those too often nowadays, unfortunately. Not a single sack, hit, or hurry allowed in 103 plays??? That right there my friends is why we made the pick. This guy is gonna keep Tony off the turf.
