33% Shady McCoy, 33% Barry, 33% AP, he's a pro-bowler, and our next Beast Mode. This is going to be fun.
Kenneth Walker III is a mix of three backs

he really just needs space. give him a seam, and he gets to the 2nd and 3rd levels. our offensive line interior is bad at run blocking and won't do him justice this season. he's gonna have to keep getting fed offtackle and in space.

He's very talented and made some great moves in space. He'll get those openings if we don't insist on trying to just run him up the middle on every first down. We let the pass game space it out, empty the box, and then give him that run play when the defense doesn't expect it and he'll turn a 3-4 yard gain into 7 or more.

Definitely not a power back that's for sure but would like to see more sweeps, delayed handoffs, and passes to him in space-those broken tackles were a thing of beauty today

He also has an exceptional knack for getting 4 yards when he should get 1, this a a huuuuuuuge talent to possess.

The mini beast run where he broke tackles was pretty awesome.

You beat me to it! The commentator Robert Smith, who is also a Pro Bowl running back, "invoked the name of the Beast"!
I am very impressed. He has shifty moves with start and stop action as well as the power to break through tackles. I have watched for his blocking too and he is very willing to deliver a shot.
I hope his torso is ok, as I noticed him touching the "hernia zone".
Hes out for the Season.. he signed a one year deal.. you think theyll do it again?
Wow is he shifty. I agree he needs sweeps and outside runs to really show what he can do. Running up the middle doesn't seem to be the way to go for him. Get him on the outside and look out. He's really fun to watch.

Thats exactly what i was thinking! When the O line gets some more time playing together they are certianly going to be a force to be reckoned with... Walker is going to be bad ass!
He did fine at MSU.. but.. the blocking scheme was different, and their tackles were more apt for that for the outside gaps or guards for cut blocks etc like I felt we use to run a ton with marshawn
Which is odd since he's only 2 inches shorter than Lynch and literally the same weight

Hes great but we really need a bona-fide back up. Dallas isn't good enough.
