All 4.7 range 40 yard time.

Smith - 5'9" 216lbs all time leader/10th best runner of all time
Morris - 5'10" 218 3rd all time rushing rookie season
Taylor - 5'9" 214 lbs -?

Watch college highlights of each and tell me the difference. Vision, tackle breaking ability, power, massive tree trunks for thighs, etc Same styles, same players..same results. Watch the film, say I'm lying. You can't do it.

I'm not going to crown his ass before he even plays a game. But I do love his running style. I am excited to see what he can do. I also think Ellington is a perfect complement to Taylor.

Wheres the list off the 1000 other running backs whom have similar running styles and have failed?

Love the optimism however, hope your right.

Personally, he reminds me of Tiki Barber, just a little slower.

Does Taylor have one of the best offensive line's of all time in front of him like Emmitt Smith did ?

Like Emmitt Smith and all, but it is easy, yes, easy to run in the NFL when the first defensive player you even see is 4 yards off the line of scrimmage.

What about Morris? Kid is a stud. The 'skins offensive line was ranked about the same as our heading into least season. They played better than anticipated, but that offensive line is average.

Taylor has an interesting running style. Not a lot of wasted motion. Slight quick moves. Just enough to make a defender bounce. He doesn't juke them out completely, he just move enough where they can't make a clean hit or grab.

This whole thing sure does make me want to watch the Cardinals this year, even if I don't expect a lot of wins.

Morris was a good fit for their scheme, but RGIII helped him out quite a bit with defenders having to keep an eye on him.
