Anyone else notice how much better Dobb's running style is this year. Last year he ran very upright and stiff...this year he gets his pads lower and is much more fluid running. Whoever it is that had worked with him on that be it QB guru, CMB or CRG deserves credit.

I wonder if Dobbs actually runs as fast as he can. Seems like he glides/jogs into the endzone.

Dobbs has admittedly improved over last season in running and throwing. I'm still a little concerned about the deep throw as he is consistently throwing it short. Having said that, I have no other complaints about him and have to admit that he is vastly improved and should be the starter until he either gets hurt or someone better comes along. Hard to argue with 635 yds offense on the road!

I'M enjoy my crow (I mean chicken) about Dobbs!

I really think we can win out. Misswho will be the toughest game remaining and good grief we cannot allows those idiots to win the EAST again!

He is great at just kinda bouncing off tacklers. On most of his short TD runs he is usually touched or hit at the line and he just slides right off. He has grown so much from last year.

In high school, Dobbs ran like a giraffe (well, a starving one). Very tall and skinny as a rail, but loped along strait up. He covered ground fast, but never looked like he was really trying to sprint. He runs much more powerfully now.

Dobbs reminds me a lot of Kaepernick when he was a Nevada. The way he runs and the strength of his arm.

It is fun watching him run. Watching it live he looks like he's barely moving or even trying, but yet noone can seem to catch him or bring him down. Its not til you look close and at different angles you realize he is running it hard and is out running the D.

I also noticed that when he was tackled, instead of getting hit and going straight down, he always twists around and ends up going forward while landing on his back.

My biggest concern is that he carries the ball like a loaf of bread which is prone to fumbles

Need Johnny Majors to teach him to "Tuck the ball!!"

The secret imo. Is the loose hips he squeezes through the hole then like tv commentator said a long strider. Those strides make him look like he is taking it easy like USAIN BOLT. Most sprinters don't have Bolts build they have shorter faster churning legs.

This made me think of Arian Fosters fumbling problem. Fulmers response...."Arian doesn't have a fumbling problem. He has a ball security problem." Lol

From the waist down Dobbs and Hurd are similar in their long stride galloping. As mentioned above, deceptively fast!

SCAR defenders looked like statues for first part of offensive play. Very slow reaction time, reminiscent on 2012/2013 Vol Defense.
