Thad Franklin looked good

[brock]

Great burst for a bigger running back. No wasted motion. Remind me of a more explosive Tyrone moss. Yeah they are different sizes but they run similar to me for some reason

 

[Page305]

He runs like it would hurt to tackle him... That's the best way I can explain it lol

 

[Cane4L]

He’s better than Cam and Cody Brown..

 

[joseermonfils]

Should be the starter based on my eyes

 

[Josh]

Him and Cody were impressive, Cody runs patient and Thad hits the hole hard. Keep giving them touches

 

[bdcane4eva]

needed and needs more burn...need to see him against better D's

 

[RozayCane]

He looked really good.

That RB room has some really good young talent.

They played against a HS JV team. Nothing to take away from this performance.

 

[AUcane]

Any online highlights of his runs?

 

[Juanka]

Franklin reminds me of the type of back that doesn't dance around the line the scrimmage.

So what. Haven’t you seen the other rbs even from lower levels make moves are starting rb wasn’t Making the first 3 games…

 

[BS85]

Any online highlights of his runs?

There is on ESPN if you go to the score of this game. They had at least one video of his long TD.

Cam played against the same HS JV team. There’s a noticeable burst and movement increase with both freshmen.

 

[jdg3158]

Guys what’s to take away? Seriously? They play against better competition on the scout team. What we know and have seen all season is Cam falls from the slightest of contact and has no shift in his game. Yes the freshman have “potential” but to take any noticeable observations from this game is laughable. You look fast when you run 4.5’s and the other team from 5 flats.

Brock - you’re right - so what!!

 

[pacusmc]

Why would there have been any doubt?

 

[Canedude08]

Yes, it's an FCS school, but I think he's ready for carries. You can't go into the ACC play expecting Cam Harris to be your guy. It should be the young guns, with Cam being your 3rd down back, because he actually understands pass pro. Then again, how difficult can understanding pass pro be? Not complicated if you spend the time to teach.

Not true at all. There are things that Brown and Franklin showed that would’ve shown up against any type of comp.

Brown showed great patience and vision. He picked out more running lanes this game than Cam has in the past two years. Kid has amazing contact balance as well.

Thad has a great burst through the whole and really surprising feet for his size.

Both are powerful runners that bring the contact to the tackler which is why the are always moving forward.

Cam is what he is. He’s a great pass blocker that has elite speed and exceptional burst. Problem is he has poor vision, feet and balance. There has to be great blocking for him to burst a big one. However, if he has a seam to run through and green grass ahead he hits it hard and isn’t going to be caught.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

He’s not old enough to get carries. Give him another year or two and he’ll be playing a lot.

 

[dirtyred786]

So who's idea was it to only let Cam get carries against Michigan State?

 

[RedPill Stepdad]

I look for guys that pop off the screen. Thad was the only RB that did that for me.
