Phillip Tanner

[CATCH17]

Anyone think this guy has a chance to stick on the roster?

He looks like a natural runner @ RB.

 

[cbow44]

maybe not the 53 but I think the ps. just has to beat out miller

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Kinda slow with not alot of burst. Miller has the intangbles.

 

[CATCH17]

Kinda slow with not alot of burst.

He's got good balance, vision, hands.


Runs between the tackles well. REads his blocks well.


Just an all around natural runner.

:blind:

 

[UnoDallas]

I think hes our third guy

he makes the team

name some better than him ?

on our team

was Emmitt fast - 40 time 4.7

Jerry Rice ran a like a 4.8 right? Yeah, that had a huge effect on his career.




The defense is there to get in the way, so agility, body control, and acceleration become more important in escaping tackles. As for the defense, if you’re running 40 yards, odds are you screwed up.
The point is, a player’s 40 time is far from wholly indicative of their abilities. Sure, it’s easy to look at a number and make a decision. However, the great evaluators of talent are the people who take the time to look at what a player provided to their team instead of becoming enamored with a number on a piece of paper. The only way to see what players are capable of is by watching what they did on the field

I still have a hunch that Tashard Choice doesn't make this team. I don't know whether Miller or Tanner or someone else does, but I don't think Choice will...and I think this injury will be an added reason.

na way dood.

He looked really impressive. Hit little holes and skirted through. great balance and vision. Enough speed to get around the edge. He looks to be of the talented variety

Obviously against some less then impressive teams.

And if you read the camp notes, he's been showing a pretty impressive burst in camp.

 

[8FOR!3]

I don't think he beats out Lonyae Miller, not a knock on him I just have a feeling Miller is legit.

 

[tomson75]

Lmao....he broke that doods crotch off @ 2:10

 

[AsthmaField]

I like the way that kid runs. Maybe if they decide not to keep Choice around, he slips in as the third back.

He does look like a really instinctive runner.
