he needs to not run standing straight up. it worhs in high school because of his size might not work in the sec

Good "body lean" as Coach Majors used to put it,

The issue of Jalen playing a position other than RB is a sure way to ferret out trolls in this board...hey rcvol..rival fans don't want this monster dude redefining the position at their team's expense...as for true worrywart Vol fans..I'm sure it's a childhood issue where you don't believe you deserve something so awesome....in the words of my sage Grandpa.."Shut up!...quit being a woman"...No charge for this therapy...fixing sports problems before dinner!

From what I have seen of Hurd's video his running style makes no difference when all you see on defense is his back side. I will worry about style when they start catching him.

I can think of another 6'4" RB who ran straight up with blazing speed that tended to run a little high.... name of Dickerson.

Have no doubt the staff will teach him to run with better body lean, behind his pads once they get their hands on him.

Internet coaches are undefeated and act like it.

Well let's hurd them all up and ship them out...


I know it was bad, but I couldn't resist it...

I don't know what film you have or have not watched of Jalen, but I have watched several of his highlights. I see a kid that was taught by his high school coaches to run behind his pads. And shows a really good burst of speed and very shifty for his size. I'm no expert but I think he will be a really good running back at Tennessee.

Minutes before the play opened. :hi:

I think folks need to calm down. Hurd is already on the tall side for a RB. If he grows much more he may not end up being a RB. He is listed a 6'3'' Growing 2 inches your Senior year is not uncommon and I do not remember many 6'5'' RBs. .

He could grow 3" more and become a swing forward. The possibilities are endless.
