Remember some analyst said Michel was better than Barkley crickets from that Anaylst.
I think it was like Patriots got a back who isn’t different then Barkley end of the first round a stealThis proves anyone can be an “analyst”. Lmao
Explains a bit, but also is puzzling that he will wait this long to have surgery if he needed it. Season ended in Jan 2020.Explains a lot. Hope he’s back to his 2018 season playoff form.
I am still waiting to see what he gives us that Legarrette Blount or Stevan Ridley or BenJarvus Green-Ellis or any RB of that ilk couldn't. We paid pennies on the dollar for those guys and statistically speaking they were better than Sony.The foot injury makes sense given his lackluster performance last season. Foot injury aside, I keep pounding this drum but Sony looks too heavy. Look at his build in college vs. now - he's much heavier now than he was at UGA. He looks pudgy and out of shape compared to his college days. It might be fair to say that his weight partially contributed to his foot issue, and so dropping pounds would be a win-win; take stress off the foot and improve his overall game.
Obviously he's an NFL RB and you need him to be durable, but I don't think shedding 6-8 lbs ... maybe even 10 lbs would hurt him; in fact, it would very likely help him.
We'd see more of the athleticism and explosiveness he showed at UGA, and it would open up his potential as receiver (again, another element of his college game that was dynamic but has completely went away since coming to the Pats).
This guy looked like Kamara 2.0 in college with a bit more short-yardage/between-the-tackles power to boot ... now he looks like a plodding, painfully average 2-down back.
The potential is absolutely 100% there based on looking at his days in college.
