Was there any time during this season where he was laid out because of his running style? I can't think of anyone right now.
I would say that his running style makes it harder to hit him fast, and forces defenders to break down before the tackle, or they will miss him. Which leads to fewer really hard hits. I would say that it's his physique and body type that leads to injuries. His fast cutting can probably lead to injuries comming from the legs/feet being in awkward positions.
James White was one of the few bright spots in the second half of the season. He has pretty much been Brady's #2 target for a chunk of the year...made a number of good plays. Wouldn't have thunk it at the beginning of the season. If Dion Lewis hadn't existed on our roster this kid would probably have upwards of 60-70 receptions this season.
Dude has been close worthless in the running game, perhaps significantly due to the offensive line? Maybe. But regardless he has proved valuable in the passing game. And I'm happy with him for that.
Tom Brady is a better runner than James White.
