Im not sure why guys have to be labeled to suck or they are great.
I look at tape.No I only watched preseason. Like theses runs. Dont care to much what they used to do.
Ingram used to suck, lol.
1:51 Lewis
Lewis makes a great run to an open hole, and gets small. NE OL is on the 12 TL, pushes the DL to the 11, and all blocks are picked up for Lewis to get to the 5 YL. He twist on his 1st hit ( good instinct), and then the Saints D takes out the guy tackling him. NE 65 pushes him forward to get the TD.
Its a good fighting run, following blockers,and good instincts, but does not show 1/10th second sight or forsight.
1:38 White
White has no hole. The inside run play is broken, right side is covered, and 3 Saints D on the left open to stop him. This should be a busted play (err with a good defense, lol ).
His 1/10th second sight tells him the right is busted , and going wide left is not an option. He makes his own hole by faking out the Saints defensive player and cutting inside. Probably the only thing he could have done. Shows 1/10th second sight on the juke, and natural running ability. Made a busted play look easy.
Just my opinion Im no expert. Both good runners, but I see more born talent in White. Err though our D is not a great test.
