October 26, 200619 yr What do you all think of him? I think he's got a ton of potential. With his combination of size (6'4" 264 lbs) and speed...I think he can be a great RB. Check out this run vs. the Boys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjuPdOTfdPs&eurl=
October 26, 200619 yr He looked like a flat out man on Monday night. Definitely a great 1-2 punch with Tiki and him. I'm not sure he can carry the load by himself though once Tiki is gone.
October 26, 200619 yr He was one of my fantasy backs last season... Got me some good points from time to time. Didn't always like his running style though... Too straight up and down... Or am I thinking of TJ Duckett?
October 26, 200619 yr Author He was one of my fantasy backs last season... Got me some good points from time to time. Didn't always like his running style though... Too straight up and down... Or am I thinking of TJ Duckett? Jacobs ran straight up and down last year, a little bit. But this year he's been bowling over guys... He's been nearly unstoppable at times. Like in the video.
October 26, 200619 yr He would be a great 1-2 punch guy, not sure if he can carry a season's load and continue to run over guys with ease like he has this season.
October 26, 200619 yr Do you guys realize he was in the same backfield with Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown and Jason Campbell in Auburn's backfield? I have always liked him a lot I just wonder if he can handle a whole season as a number one. He reminds me of Ron Dayne a little. Bruiser but don't know if he can be a feature back. I would give him his shot for sure though!

I would give him his shot for sure though! Ron Dayne is what...5'10", 265 lbs and probably doesn't run better than a 4.5 or 4.6...and can't move nearly as well as Jacobs. Jacobs is 6'4" 265, probably runs a 4.3 at least...and can move side to side as well as he can run over people. Yes he was in the same backfield as these guys, which is why he transferred! lol

October 26, 200619 yr Author I thought he played for Southern IL?:confused: Transferred to get more PT.

Yes he was in the same backfield as these guys, which is why he transferred! lol 4.3 is cooking! I'd have to see that one to belive it. I didn't realize he was anywhere around that speed. I still question if he can be a #1 back all year long because he is so big and runs a little high sometimes. I would take him anyday on my team though and I wouldn't be shy about giving him a shot.

October 26, 200619 yr Author Okay..4.52 is his best. My bad. :lol: http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/2005/jacobs_brandon
