And in those 14 carries, I honestly did not see much, but then again the sample size was tiny.But I did see a couple of flashes. He had one pretty good run in the Niners game, that showed a little. And there were a couple of other plays among those 14 carries where he suddenly stutter stepped and then tore off a burst of speed, or slipped sideways to squeeze through a gap, but it just didn't amount to much... but it was surprising to see him do it so effortlessy and spontaneously. I just can't say I've seen enough of him to form an opinion, but if the Packers are that excited about him, I have to take their word for it. They know one hell a lot more about the man than I do (and for that matter, everything else about football).Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised this September, but I really want to see more than 14 carries.  I'd really love to see a full game where he gets 20 carries all on the same afternoon, and has a chance to get into a rhythm. Because that's the best way to judge a back; how well does he do as the game  goes on, as he gets into a rhythm, adjusts to the defense, finds his confidence.</blockquote>
