Yeah my one concern with Haynes is he runs like he's still playing Rugby. What makes him get those nice gains is that he is fearless in his running... but he's leaving himself open to get knocked out.

Yea, his running style is straight up odd (maybe it's the norm in rugby?). He runs very upright, but also cuts and makes his moves very upright. Very little wasted motion. I'm wondering if he is enjoying early success because nfl players look for certain physical cues to see which way the ball carrier will break (footwork, body lean, etc). His style is very stiff, almost like the players in tecmo bowl for those that remember the game.

He does not look pretty, but is very tough and hard nosed.

Wishing thinking that San Francisco let Hayne leave at this point. I don't know if he can keep it up at this pace or not, but 49ers found a gem thus far..

Immediately improves return game, kick coverage and running back corps. Kid is end of bench player for Niners.

He's an end of bench player for one of the worst (and falling) teams in the NFC, but he somehow makes Dallas better?
