Dobbs has always had the smarts, athleticism, and "dog" to be a star. All he lacked was passing accuracy. Maybe he has broken the code on that now. He seems to be a good fit in Minnesota..... wishing him all success.
His biggest plays are still with his feet. I think the league will adjust soon but I hope he continues his good play
There are some adjustments to make, but these plays he has been making with his feet are against spies and rushing D lineman who are keeping lane integrity. He's just breaking arm tackles and making guys miss. What else can the D do to stop his runs? Double spy? Then the passing gets even easier. They had 6 guys watching Dobbs on this play.
This is obviously hindsight 20/20 and easy for me to say watching but the only thing I can point out on that run is Taylor misplayed that. He hesitated going after him, and then took a bad angle. But again, easy for me to say watching it after the fact and not in real time.
I agree it was poorly played by him but also long-striding runners like Vince Young, Adrian Peterson, and Josh Dobbs are deceiving. They don't look like they are running fast and guys tend to take bad angles against them.
