I think they should give Lewis the ball in short yardage situations from now onThe Blount - Lewis tandem has worked quite well the last two weeks. I bet it keeps up next week
I've truly lost count of how many times I've re-watched this
Barry Sanders was 5-8 200 lbs, and Lewis 5-8 195 lbs, so I'm not sure I see much of a size difference there. We should be careful not to degrade Lewis' potential due to his lack of size. There have been other "true RBs" of similar size. Not only Sanders, but another guy from Pitt by the name of Dorsett went 5-11 192. People said he was too small for the NFL too. Incidentally, Lewis first two years at Pitt were phenomenal (2860 yards, 5.3 ypc, 30 TDs) and compare favorably to Dorsett's (2690 yards, 5 ypc, 24 TDs). I'm not saying Lewis is another Sanders or Dorsett, but neither would I limit his potential due to size. He was drafted as a sophomore and is only 24. This is really his first opportunity and its only been a handful of games, but so far the sky is the limit.Ok, I will say it and I know it is way too early, but this guy has moves like Barry Sanders. Barry was bigger and a true RB. I don't think I want Dion to have 30+ runs in a game but man, he has the same juke...
Add about six more on that one play.
