Why I would not worry about Barner's ball security

[Wundrbread33]

If he keeps fumbling he will be Slaton 2.0.

 

No matter how much talent you have, you can fumble your way to irrelevancy.

I think if we all keep rehashing it he will get better

Somebody needs to lock this thread up, otherwise I will defend my sig with great vigor!

I'm not worried of fumbling because of Jim Skipper.

Uhhhh I think he's been hit from behind before. The first one was inexcusable. The defender got a hand on the ball, but did not really hit it with much force. I would say it was a combination of nerves and sloppiness, though I'm not sure he's used to running between the tackles so much (at Oregon he bounced most of his runs outside it seemed).

I was exaggerating (4.38 speed), and indirectly referencing the fact that he is used to running outside-- tends to eliminate the need to protect the ball from unseen hits becuase the defense is on the inside or in front.  Running between the tackles is a different animal--that was (awkwardly) my point.  I agree.
