Jaylen Knighton reminds me

[brock]

He’s a mix of duke Johnson and Travis Homer if that makes since. More closer to Travis in how physical he runs looking for contact but explosive in the passing game like Duke

And this is why this fan base has no idea what it's looking at alot of the times. I can't believe people comparing Cook that's insane......this is why people thought Manny was Urban....it seems like only our fan base does crack.

These guys are legit retards when it comes to analyzing football. The one thing Knighton and Cook have in common is fumble problems.

Knighton runs 1 million miles per hour straight into a linebackers arms.

 

[HarryCarayisGoat]

Lol man you’ve had this weird obsession if ****ting on this kid since he got here. Saying he’s our slowest RB ever…

A bit of it is hyperbole but this kids ceiling is Coop or maybe Yearby

 

[OilCaneBoy]

I don’t see quite the top-end speed Dalvin has nor the power. Don’t get me wrong, Rooster is a great player, but Dalvin is top-3 RB in the NFL good. Dalvin is very strong for his size and gets 3 extra yards when he’s getting tackled. I don’t see that from Knighton, yet. Maybe the power will come as he ages and fills out a bit more.

Nor the balance. These Canea backs fall to easy. Either way, we have to get the kid the ball He can break one any time...

Chaney has more upside, if only he could stay healthy.

I just don't get how u see a Dalvin Cook

 

[SPAMM]

All 11 of our guys on D at once would have trouble tackling dalvin

That would also be true if it were my dear departed mother

That's special

@KrazyCane
What's your take on this?

 

[Stats02]

When Cook was at FSU it was always …. “HERE HE COMES, ****..there he goes”!!! That boy would pop out a hole house it !

Cook single handedly beat us 3 games from 2014-2016. What a difference maker. Knighton is good and a playmaker, but I have yet to see him completely take over a game and dominate a team.

 

[OldhamA]

Stop the madness bruh c'mon Cook is a phenom type. JK is more of a lesser version of Miller or Duke......c'mon Dalvin Cook? He doesn't have that quick burst Cook has few people do.

I don't think Miller or Johnson are good comparisons for Knighton either.

It'll come to me.

 

[Objectivefan79]

Knighton gets tackled by the turf way too often. Definitely more Yearby or Duke than Cook. I don’t see it at all.

 

[OldhamA]

Johnson was twice the player Yearby was - and sadly Cook is significantly better than Johnson, so that's a huge range you've just gone through there.

Either way all three were excellent College players.

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Of Dalvin Cook. The moment he touches the ball he is a total game and momentum changer. This kid is special and should have been RB1 a long time ago over Harris.

Why stop there....He's a cross between Barry Sanders and OJ Simpson (minus the stabbings)

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

I'll say this:
Rooster is **** good. Sky is the limit.
But, he hasn't done anything to give anyone PTSD on how he's ran all over someone's team like Dalvin did ours.

Man, **** AL GOLDEN

I don't think the comparisons to Yearby are fair. He's much better than Yearby ever was. But, I agree he shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath with Duke or Cook.

 

[NateDogg]

Imagine if this oline was somewhat good

And we had an OC that called anything other than zone reads

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

Aye now...
If the glove don't fit, you must acquit.

@KrazyCane I will be waiting for your answer. Who does the rooster remind you of? Cause I really wanna know your Krazy take on this, cause comparing my guy to Dalvin is beyond outrageous.

 

[DroCane]

Graig Cooper is the most accurate comparison I’ve seen in this thread.

 

[Objectivefan79]

I’ll give you this. All the zone read doesn’t put many backs in the best position to succeed. Add a QB like TVD that puts minimal fear into D’S with his feet on design runs…. Yeah….
