Its one thing to beat one guy and break a tackle. When you have two or three in the backfield right as the play is starting, you don't have much of a chance
And he did recently reverse field for a nice gain on a play where the original design went right, he stopped and went back left.

Same line as Gore.... Gore gets hit and gains yards. Mack doesn't. I agree he is a big play threat. And what GBB has said about the way defenses play him vs Gore is different. If that in fact is the case then you have to keep playing Gore more snaps because it works. Wow possible good coaching there.
Yes he has a good yards per carry average but it is elevated due to his big plays.
Look at his stats. Most of his yards are from one play per game so that one play exaggerates his yes/carry....the rest of the time he is a below average RB

Other than the SF game he has not been good at all
Look at the stats and take the one big run out of the Rams Tenn Jac and Houston games and he is averaging less than 2.5 yards per carry.
I don't know. I just don't see the hype yet
I'd take Gore every day over Mack
