Walker seems to not have his explosion

[Smellyman]

every time he seems to have a seam he is caught. He used to house some of these

 

[TwistedHusky]

Walker is feast or famine back. And he can pretty much only run to the outside.

He is good when he gets to the edge but he is a very flawed back. I doubt anything is wrong with him - he just either breaks out for a big gain or gives you little to nothing.

He just doesn't have the really long runs he used to. Id have to look up the numbers but his really long runs are down significantly from his first 2 years.

starting to sour on this guy

 

[hugecanoli]

Mediocre.

People keep disagreeing.
Thats fine, but he shows me nothing.

 

[HawkFreak]

What the heck was that run?

 

[Floridahawk79]

Not a fan of this guy. Give me Charbs!!

 

[Dallashawksfan]

Trash

They need an upgrade

Lol, jesus, dude literally has zero holes or run lanes, and its his fault somehow. let's put the blame where it belongs. Play calling and the OLine.

Walker must have some sort of tell presnap because I always see defenders swarm him right off the snap. Charbs seems to have more room to run.

 

[JPatera76]

He’s kinda “fell off” something felt off with him this yr and last. Like progressively his vision seems to be worse, he ignores the lanes that are open, hesitates at times.

The the thing he does that annoys me the most… Seeks contact. Just fn run he’s not a bulldozer back. I’ve watch him fall over from some the weakest tackles

If there are holes they can hire me

So...great running backs are incalculable of making something happen without perfect OL play.

Charbs is worse. Charbs is better at getting 2-3. And Charbs is better at pass pro (but more Walker is much worse). But neither back is going to get you 4 very often. Maybe on a screen pass.

 

[GemCity]

Agree there’s not many holes but…when the only spot that has a bit of light to it presents itself, you have to turn up field.

The lateral, dance dance, doing a 180 doesn’t work.

Thats one area of the game where I give Charbs the advantage.

Calling this line play less than perfect in the biggest understatement today. Let's call it what it really is so far. Straight garbage.

They do seem to become stinky refuse at the most inopportune times.

 

[GeekHawk]

6 yards in the first quarter on 5 runs. A blistering 1.2 yards per.

 

[oldhawkfan]

When a RB gets the handoff with a defender already in the backfield, running skills become non existent. If it was all on the talent and ability of the RB then why even bother with guys whose only job is to block and CREATE running lanes, holes or even a crease to be used effectively?! MM preaches complementary football for a reason. A RB needs the line to do their job in order for their skills to impact the game. Try driving your car down the freeway at 75 mph with even one severely deflated tire.
