JJ reminds me of ...

... Dalton Hilliard.

That is a good comparison. JJ looks to be stronger between the tackles, but they have similar open field styles.

dalton was a good one.................fo sure.

More like Tomlinson to me

JJ reminds me of a York Peppermint Patty.

Nice one. Jules is prolly better suited to run inside, but yeah. I was a huge DH fan when he was at LSU.

He and Ironhead worked pretty good as a tandem with the Saints too.

JJ is far more versatile than a York peppermint Patty, but their running styles are definitly comparable

 

[Juke99]

Hmmmm...I'm not seeing it...

There may be some similarities in stature....but Hilliard really never put up great numbers...I'd be very disappointed if JJ had a career like Hilliard's.

... Dalton Hilliard.

Jones has more explosion than Hilliard, who as I recall was never much of a long run threat

Emmitt Smiths running style with Dorsetts speed and Sanders cuts.

Hows that for pressure!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rush 2112]

Troy Hambrick/Adrian Murrell

Let's hope the similarity ends at their numbers. Hilliard had that one season in 1989 where he blew up with a million touchdowns and then did nothing ever again.

JJ is much faster than Hilliard ever was. Hilliard also had a lower center of gravity and was a bit more flexible than JJ. JJ is much, much more explosive though and can take any run to the house from any direction. Hilliard just didn't have that dimension.

Damn. Isn't any half stepping going on there. We have seen flashes of all three, haven't we?

Uh, close...but I don't think is a fast as TD....he might be quicker, but definitely not as fast....And Sanders was/is in a class of his own when it comes to making cuts...

But ya know, 90% of each guy you've listed, mixed together, is one heck of a RB.

I was about to say the same thing.

 

[poke]

we can only hope that JJ is a mix of Emmitt, Tony D., and Barry S.
he sure showed some of each of them last year.
