I went back and watched a lot of tape on McCaffrey

good observation, it's not a coincidence either:

“I love watching Le'Veon Bell,” McCaffrey told King recently. “I think he has a great mix of doing everything as a running back. He is a very good complete back. His patience, setting up his blocks so well, hitting the hole fast, breaking tackles, making people miss … That’s the kind of stuff, when I look at his game and look at my game, what I really try to emulate is the aspect of patience, and not just running full-speed downhill. Let your blocks develop before you hit that hole, try to get in the best position of getting one on one with the safety in the open field, make him miss, and then turn on the jets from there.”

 

“That’s my guy!” Bell said. “That means everything in the world to me. He’s a really special runner. I try to break some things down with him. He sent me a lot of his clips, to see what he could have done, what maybe I would have done on the same play—you know, to critique him a little bit. I think in this off-season I’ll meet up with him and work with him.

“He is a special player. You don’t see too many players who play the running back position who not only can run the ball and pass-protect, but who can catch the ball and who can run routes like a receiver. He’s very lean, very quick, great hands, can run any route … That caught me off guard when I first started watching him at the end of his sophomore year. He ran every route in the route tree.”

I just got moist reading that. And that's hard to do because I'm a dude.

The only thing I'm kind of wondering about is why the want Samuel to play the slot more and not CMC. If you watch CMC run routes and catch the ball, it become obvious very quickly that he is a natural as a WR. Not to pick on Samuel, but CMC has some of the best hands you will ever see and Samuel still has a little work to do in that area. Anyway, I can't wait to find out what they really have in mind for these two and CMC is a great pure runner as well.

I think alot of people will be surprised and eating there own words. He can run every down. Just look at what he did at Stanford. He will run more than we think.

stop saying you're watching tape

watching tape means you're in a room with scouts and former players watching the all 22 footage constantly going back and forth, analyzing each position

you're slacking off at work and watching youtube videos set to drake songs

Thank you. This seriously  irks me too

Guys I've watched the tape and I think that the Panthers should, in fact, let the bodies hit the floor. 

[Chief Keek]

That would make sense because McCaffrey and Bell have trained together.

[Relationship with Le'Veon Bell?]

Social media is so crazy now a days you can really get in touch with anybody. One time he kind of hit me up on Twitter. I started picking his brain on some plays, sent him some clips cause he's a heck of a running back, somebody I like to model part of my game after. He's been very helpful.

[Met him in person?]

Never met in person, just based off the phone.

[What was Bell's best advice?]

You watch him run and see how patient he is and that's really where I pull a lot of that from. Watching him sit behind the line of scrimmage and kind of dissect the defense, and as soon as he sees the hole he's exploding through it.

Savage. 100% truth, but savage truth.

I believe you but I also think he's a better slot receiver than Samuel and probably anybody else in this draft. I urge everybody to watch CMC run routes and catch at the combine. He's like butter in and out of his breaks and the ball never hit the ground. I just don't see how you can get any better than that.

[Hoenheim]

Leveon Bell is 2 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier, so not the same body type even if they have somewhat similar running styles.

McCaffrey's tape reminds me of Warrick Dunn to a T. 

Careful.

You might hurt the pendant's feelings with all that "tape" talk.

[exactlyzack]

When watching his highlights my favorite thing to look at is his hesitation and his cuts. Some of the best cuts I've seen in a long time. Him and Samuel coupled with Benjamin and Olsen is going to be fun to watch for sure.
