Thread: Booker Is Not Our Runningback

He's shown flashes of what he could be. I'd like to see him behind a more capable line. I just hope he gets better at making his reads because he spends a lot of time running into the ass of the linemen in front of him.

If he calms down and lets play develop. There have been several where for runs into the back of OL before the hole develops. I think he is just trying to hard to make a play and not being pacient. I know he is behind a crappy line but still cj got some bigger runs and was more patient.

CJ is a more experienced back. Booker's flaws are fixable.

As long as he stays healthy, I think he'll turn into a pretty productive guy.

I bet Booker would be doing just fine behind the Cowboys line. Just sayin.
That brings up a better question. How would Elliot be doing behind our line?

Those feel like the same question, I get where you are going though. I think Elliott is a stud, but there's only so much you can do if the tackles can't open gaps.

Zeke would have about 5-6 hundred yards at this point of the season if he played for Denver.

Booker will turn out to be better than Anderson when it's all said and done.

Booker might not even make the team next year.

If he's healthy right now, I agree.

Nobody remembers the crucial hit booker took last week....... He's clear not himself.

Probably a lot better than our current backs (including CJ), but probably nowhere near as well as he is in Dallas now.

Dude has no vision whatsoever. Hopefully that changes. Had a convoy ahead of him in one if the third down and short situaction and instead just outs his head down and cant even get 6 inches.

Klis' theory that Booker might be wearing out after spending the entire offseason rehabbing his knee injury makes some sense, especially considering he's due to hit the rookie wall.

I think he got hurt in the Jaguars game and was questionable all week.

The proof is on tape. If he all of a sudden shows me I got him wrong, then amen.


Vision for a running back is underrated. You either have it or you dont. Great backs, like great passers in the NBA, know where everyones at. They know how to set up blocks.

It might seem unfair since hes still so young.......but it is what it is. Vision, even when you dont know the scheme, will get you extra yards that you 'see'.

This young man has a ton of athletic ability.......but this is the big leagues. Everyone is top tier at this level...........unless of course your name is Brock.
