Thread: Booker Is Not Our Runningback

Ive seen enough of this guy. No vision whatsoever. Couldn't find a hole if he opened his mouth. Honestly, Bibbs does something good almost every time he gets a chance over the past couple years.

Not sure if there are other struggles on his end that only the coaches know about (Knowing playbook, assignments, etc) but just chugging out yardage, he stands out to me far better than Booker.

Had Bibbs not gotten injured, I would have liked to see him a LOT more.

Yeah I'm starting to agree with you. Reminds me of a young Knowshon........ In Bookers defense the O Line SUCKS but Bibbs has been noticeably better during his limited reps.

Wut? Booker is fine. He has some shit blocking to deal with. That TD he scored this week was sheer will. Bibbs never scores that TD in a million years.

On the one big run bibbs had, there was a hole so big any of us could have picked up the first down.

Bibbs is really bad. He has talent though. Might change. But bad.

Booker hits the hole hard but lacks patience and vision. If you need 1 yard he will get you 3... If you need 5 yards he will get you 3.

Seems to be tough and physically talented but we miss CJ's elusiveness.

Tough to evaluate the QBs or RBs when the line stinks so bad and gameplans lack any sort of rhythm/creativity.

Booker is a rookie..... Bibbs has been around for years now. Bibbs problem is he cannot stay healthy and his pass pro sucks, and you top off my point by saying ( had he not been injured)

I agree. He doesn't break tackles and terrible vision. Good thing this draft is stacked at RB. Denver should be able to add depth in the later rounds that can compete for the backup job when CJ goes down again

Are you talking the td where Okung drug him into the end zone?

When I saw that play I saw a RB keep fighting, breaking a tackle, and then get pushed into the red zone. That isn't too uncommon, and he put himself in that position to get...pushed, haha.

He broke a tackle before the push.

I really like Booker. He needs more carries and a better line (but, doesn't every RB?). He reminds me of Moreno. Too quick to get to the hole, and blows his wad. Needs to be more patient and let the hole open up. His vision isn't great yet. Everyone talked about how slow Moreno was - it was always my contention he was to fast, and didn't wait for the window to open.

He has ran angry though, and I like that. He didn't do that too much the last game, other than the TD, but he'll come around.

I want to like Booker. The guy runs hard behind a pretty poor OL, but his vision isn't that great and he seems to be a clumsy runner at times.

Cant fault poor production on him alone. OL sucks and losing janovich sucks too.

Yea, he willed Okung to pull him, and the other OL (can't remember who) to push him. By the way, when I saw that, I thought that was a penalty and you couldn't pull your player like that.
