If there's one position I know, it's running backs....I've covered the best, and I know a great one when I see one
Hardesty is a tough runner, stronger, determined and fast.
But the guy has gotten injured because he takes so many direct hits....watch his runs, and you'll see he doesn't have the "wiggle'' in the hole that turns death-shots into glancing blows.
Further, he's not as smooth on the perimeter runs....some backs "glide'' running laterally -- that was Foster's strength.
Now, Foster didn't have the vertical game Hardesty does...
There's no jitterbug in Hardesty either -- he can't make something out of nothing, like some great backs.
If there's a hole, he's money. If there's not, he's getting back to the line, or taking a big shot.
Watch and evaluate these things I have said for yourself.
Hardesty -- good leader, tough guy, good presence.
Not a great back, and I use the word "great'' sparingly.

Ah... I see. Berry's a liar trying to play his teammate? Come on Griff. It might not have been a completely thought out compliment but it was VERY high and unsolicited praise.I think Berry is a great teammate, and is saying the right things....
Did I say he was? I simply said that Berry is more of an authority on which RB's are great in the SEC right now than you are. Sorry that stings.If you believe Hardesty is the best back Eric Berry has faced over the past two seasons....wow.
What is Berry supposed to say? That he's one-dimensional? That half the teams the Vols have played over the past two seasons have had running backs as good, if not better?
Come on now...

Berry called Hardesty the best he'd gone against...
In evaluating RB's: Berry>Griff.
Sorry Griff. I typically like and appreciate your stuff. I don't think Hardesty lacks the ability to make a move. I just think that isn't his first instinct.
