Anyway, here's some more stellar elusiveness. On a play designed for McCluster to make a guy miss, no less...

We all know where this is leading.

Any time Dex gets taken down in the open field, it was a good defensive play.

Any time a defender slips, takes a bad angle, etc - Dex is elusive.

I think Pestilence ought to explain how he got "definitely moving to running back" out of the snipped he posted.

hinted =! definitely moving

Very misleading title that skewed the tenor of the conversation from the start.

It's no use. The train has left the station.

I'm sure you can find plenty of plays of Charles that look just look just like that. But he's not fast or elusive or anything......

This thread is becoming comical.

GC, you're trying way to hard to be a hater.

I don't remember which game it was but JC did get "ran down" by a safety in the open field.

JC = Suckage

Now THAT is a bad play by Dex. Much better example.

Just stop. You can find plays like that for any player. It does not prove shit.

I'm going to blow into a shoe in honor of DMC. Blow out a shoe, I mean.

OTWP wanted to see the play, I posted it. I don't agree that it's an awful play but Dex certainly shows he's nothing special there. He just keeps running...no attempt to cut back whatsoever and avoid the man.

I wonder if this is the precursor to us moving up in the first round and picking Julio Jones?

Getting the constituency prepared for the coming of Jesus as a receiver, so to speak.

No.

It was a bad play by Dex. But if we had the kinda time GC has, we can find bad plays by just about any player. It's moot.

The burden of proof is not on McCluster haters. He did basically nothing last year.

That play is a good example of how he's nothing special in the open field, though. Happened all year long.

Well, it was a pretty good defensive play, wasn't it?

But this time Dex had the chance to make a move and it was obviously the wrong one.

And that looked like that hurt.

Which is related to my injury fears with him: half the time when he gets hit, it's of the cringe-inducing variety. He just seems to nailed way too often. Injury waiting to happen.

I don't think it's a BAD play as much as it is a guy not being able to be special.

Dex catches the ball and tries his best to elude the defender one-on-one. He just can't do it. Because he's not that talented.

Ever think that maybe we need more than a handful of games.

You could make the same EXACT case for Charles & a handful of players in his rookie year.

Not gonna happen. That would be AWESOME, though.

LMAO

I love that people keep bringing up Charles in comparison with McCluster...

No one will say shit about McCluster if he gains 2,000 yards from scrimmage...

Hell...500 ought to be enough.

Not happening.
