Olawale *merged*

[cowboy_ron]

Not sure this guys has an NFL career in his future...he runs like he walks...standing straight up....HUGE target for tacklers.

 

[Doomsday]

Why was he being given so many carries last night? I would of liked to have seen some of the other guys get a few more carries. That guy has no vision.

I definitely saw nothing from him. He looked like an uncoordinated linebacker trying to be a running back.

[ferrispata]

Very unimpressive with multiple chances. He will be cut sometime this week I bet. And the next game, we will see more from the other back up RBs.

 

[CATCH17]

Evidently he was a converted Fullback and he is playing RB because of injury.


The guy clearly has no future as a tailback. 0 vision.

 

[slomoxn]

Saw a couple of runs had he bounced to the right or left he could have had a decent gain, instead he ran into the back of whatever lineman was there and fell.

 

[dueyhemlock]

I thought I saw a larger version of Julius Jones.

"Dang I wish these linemen would get out of my way. This running through them doesn't seem to be working."

Fullbacks don't run standing straight up either

 

[Shinywalrus]

I'm not so sure it's the upright style - both McFadden and Murray run like that too.

I think it's more the way he doesn't differentiate between open air and a 320 pound sack of fat when determining which direction to run.

 

[ShiningStar]

I think Dallas was just looking around, nothing serious, nothing gained or lost. I also hope they want a big pounder for the short yardage. Clearly not him, but someone big and can muscle for that short gain.

Jamize Olawale wasn't just getting a ton of carries last night because guys were missing. He may very well make the team.

Olawale can play a ton of roles.. Despite that drop last night, he's known to have good hands; he played mostly tight end and wide receiver in college.

He can be the occasional short yardage big back we lack, and he can back up Vickers at fullback. He also plays good special teams (though the roughing penalty has to be fixed) on converage and return.

Much like Alex Albright, who can play both inside and outside lineback pretty well, the versatility of Olawale makes him seem like 2-3 players in one.

That's what always killed Tashard Choice. He couldn't - or wouldn't - play special teams or return kicks, so he just stood there on the sideline doing nothing.

When you have 47 active players on Sunday, and four of them are quarterbacks and kickers, you need multi-taskers like Olawale.

He might make the PS but unless the backup RB are all on IR he won't make the team.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

He was awful last night. The drop and the penalty on ST's.. not to mention he did nothing with his carries.

 

[Zordon]

brad sham mentioned him on the pre-game. said some in the staff really like him.

 

[nablives]

I guess I missed it, but I didn't see anything that impressive out of him last night.

So how did you like that power run right in the 3rd qtr when Olawale ran to the backside of the pulling guard, you know the opposite direction you are supposed to go?

I didn't see anything either, I sure don't want to get rid of Felix Jones.

He has never played running back in his life until now. He was a wide receiver and tight end before.

They're going to give him every chance, I believe, to get comfortable there. Felix is horrible in short yardage, and Tanner and Dunbar are way too small. I think they'd like to take some of those hits away from Murray.

And if Vickers gets hurt, then what? Chapas sucks.

Don't worry about the drop. He's said to have the best hands of all the running backs except Murray.

Yes, the penalty was stupid, but fixable. I chalk that up to a rookie trying to make a play to make a team.

I just didn't see anything from him last night that was impressive at all, imo. He was playing against low level competition and still didn't standout, except for his mistakes.
