Show your Scout prowess.. RB edition

[WOW!!]

Whatching a "youtube" highlight film can you tell the difference in RB's..

I will add Rb videos to this thread over time until the draft..

Here is the exercise..

Give me a brief write up on skill sets.. (2 to 3 lines)

What kind of RB type you think this player is..

What system each would fit best in..

And a Comp for each player of current or past NFL RBs

1st 2 backs ran in the same system..

Will this be on the final?

[Snake]

Can we have a byron bell curve?

[LinvilleGorge]

Mixon = Ray Rice. Both have proven one punch knockout power.

Oh wait, you were asking about football?

Good breakdown..

[Bronn]

Samaje Perine:
Patient, Powerful, and Persistent. Very good against contact. An all-leg and hip runner that stays lower in his center mass.
Great ball security. IIRC 0 fumbles.
Strong between the tackles, but aware enough to cut back to the outside.

Very good in zone blocking schemes in which linemen have good footwork and can counter DL stunts or teams that have strong, punishing interior lineman that maximize impact and push on the snap.

NFL Comparison: Ricky Williams or Jonathan Stewart, with a little bit of Marshawn Lynch in there too

Joe Mixon:
Decisive and patient when he needs to be. Allows holes to open and then hits the turbo button.
A more upright, agile/ankle driven runner than Perine. Good after contact.
Excellent hands as a receiver out of the backfield and in the passing game in general.

Again, he'd be good with strong interior linemen or a zone blocking team, but could do better with a team with weaker interior if they employ more of a WCO or outside run game.

NFL Comparison: Le'Veon Bell

I really only gave you what you asked for, so no scouting info on character things or other intangibles. Strictly things I saw in the videos used.

Love it ..

Your comp. Are really good..

But i see Semaje more like a Jamal Lewis, Stephen Davis type even thoe both had better straight line speed..

But this was excellent thank you for particpating.. 

Can't wait to see more of your breakdowns..

[Ricky Spanish]

Perine looks like a Stewart clone

His balance and ability to not get knocked off his pivot when he's not upright, because of his leg strength, is what reminds me of JStew and Ricky... The Beastmode comparison is more of what I think you're talking about with Lewis and Davis, and that is more of a driving ability, again because of leg and hip strength, when contact is more head-on and upright. He has a really good combination of both and he's a guy I am watching a lot more in Rd2 because of his combine so far and because of Foreman's injury. I'd love to have him if we miss out/pass up on Fournette.

[Bronn]

As Panthers fans, how many times have you seen JStew seemingly go down only to realize his knee never hit and he put a hand on the ground or twisted out of an awkward contact some kind of agile way? That is one of those skills Perine has that you can't teach.

Oh i agree.. I also like his hands in the passing game for a powerback which is something he has in common with beastmode.. So your comp. are really good and actual better than mine..

[Bronn]

Also, I was going to add this. As a player, and if you're only looking at football and nothing off the football field, Mixon is a solid player. He is even comparable to AP and Fournette in some respects, and probably a little more nimble than Fournette as far as quickness and speed go. And his hands as a WR are probably better.

That said, we all know his past off the field. Because of that, I don't know that he'll be a Panther. But, I expect, if he can stay away from bad things, he can be one of the best backs at the next level in this draft class.

Love Mixon as a player and the value where you can get him is huge.. But like you say his off field offense will prohibited us from taking advantage of getting a 1st round talent in the 4th or 5th round..

My comp. For mixon is David Johnson from Zona.. He can line up and run WR routes like him.. plus is a tough inside runner with breakaway speed..
