1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: You've toached a lot of great running backs over the years.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Whose style does he remind you of now that you've

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: had twelve games with him? I would say, I don't know.

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: I think I'd have to start off saying maybe Eric Dickinson.

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: Eric was a big, powerful guy, long tall Eric Ob

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: was long and taller than him and probably faster, but

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: he would be more that kind of guy. Um, I

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: would I might want to compare him to a guy

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: here named Bob Jackson, but I did not do that. Uh,

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: that guy was a little bit un human. Uh. He

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: couldn't be with Marcus Allen. Uh, you know he had

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: a guy in Washington, d C. That had a pretty

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: good career named Steven Davis, and Stephen was Stephen was

14
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: a good back. The other guy that I had, like

15
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: like James, would have been a guy named Terry Allen.

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: Terry Allen and they went over the Clemson I had him.

17
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: He used to be with the Minnesota Vikings. Uh, you

18
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: know all these guys probably was before you was born, Jason.

19
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: I don't know if you don't know if you know

20
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: about these guys, but he would be in that category

21
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: like uh, Steven Davis. Uh, Terry Allen. Those kind of

22
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: guys just uh just slippery, uh, very very good running

23
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: behind his pants. Uh, can see a hole and get

24
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: to it, can jump cut when he needs to, good hands,

25
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: better hands come out of the backfield, and people think

26
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: and out did his space was hard to get down at.

27
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: A slipperness about him that you know guys, guys will

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: hit him and fall off you know, it's like, wow,

29
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: he must be geting vasilino on or something. You know,

30
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: Guys hit him and fall off of him. So he

31
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: would probably be in probably be in that category. I

32
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: think the top and I hate to always call that,

33
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: but the top three guys I've ever coached, have been

34
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: around would have been about Jackson, Marcus Allen, Eric Dickinson,

35
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: and then the next group would have been the Terry Allan's.

36
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 1: Um uh you know what else I miss A guy?

37
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: I missed a guy that it Uh so you make me,

38
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: you made me open up that that that cabinet a

39
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: little bit. So that was a guy. That was a

40
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: guy I had in the Atlanta named Michael Turner. Yes,

41
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: why I had it in the Atlanta named Michael Turner.

42
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: But that uh I had him in the Atlanta when

43
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: we left Atlanta. He was the leading Russia, uh, the

44
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: leading probu of the leading score. Uh. He was him

45
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: and James was exactly the same. Mike might have been

46
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: a little bit faster, but that's the same guy. Just Uh.

47
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: I call him a squatt squatty body with a big

48
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: head that can put that head on you and run

49
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: over you. And I can run away from you, can

50
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: stiff on you. Uh. And Mike had great just like

51
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: just like, just like this guy. Mike had great, great

52
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: leg drive. One guy hitting him, two guys hitting him.

53
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Michael have five or six guys that hit him. He

54
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: can drag him in just like you saw this guy do.

55
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: I would have touched Doown a week ago. I got

56
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: hit on about the four yard line and drugged by

57
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: four guys in the ends of for touchdowns. I'd have

58
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: to say he'd been been, probably been like that guy.

59
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: I knew you'd have a long list to guys. I

60
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: knew I could cut on you for that. Now you

61
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: mentioned the slippery aspect of his game, you know, having

62
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: tacklers break off of him. Is that something you can teach. No,

63
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: that's just him. That's something he's got. That's something those

64
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: guys have I'd like to say I give I give

65
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: it to him, but I didn't. God give it to him. Uh.

66
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: You can teach a guy how to plant cut, you know,

67
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: and uh put the foot in the ground and go left,

68
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: go right, give him a leg taken away, you can

69
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: teach that a lot of that stuff. Uh, stiff him.

70
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: You can definitely teach a guy how to stiff on

71
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: the guy and be good with it. But Jamie has

72
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: got that God given ability to get on the low,

73
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: get behind his pads, Uh, drive and turned with his

74
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: legs and his feet and uh and be slippery, like

75
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: I said, be slipper to a point that they'll fall off,

76
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: you know, the guys who hit him and fall right

77
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: off of it. Terri Biscuit with US Jaguars running backs coach.

78
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: How does James stamina? I mean, it's the equivalent of

79
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: a college season now so far, and he's been the

80
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: only running back really to get touches is the last

81
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: month or so. It feels like there's been a few exceptions.

82
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: How's he holding up physically and mentally after the scrind Well? Uh,

83
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: he I think he's holding it well. I think he's

84
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: doing good. I think James does a very good job

85
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: of taking care of his body. Uh, you know, on

86
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: his off days, I think he's doing the things he

87
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: needs to do to stay fresh, to stay good. I

88
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: think he's had times that he looked at the sideline

89
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: and maybe want to come out. You know, he might

90
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: want to rest, But I told him he's very Uh,

91
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: he's barely eligible. He's barely barely eligible to vote. So

92
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: you've gotta be eligible to vote before you can come

93
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: out and rest. No, he ain't doing that. He's still young,

94
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: you're still fresh. We still need you in again to

95
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: go play. You gotta go play. So he's doing okay.

96
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: So he's running the ball two twelve times this year,

97
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: twelve of those carries, only twelve are for negative yardage.

98
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: He's always fighting, even if he gets hit in the backfield,

99
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: he's finding a way to get back to the line

100
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: of scripts somehow. That's obviously at testament to the offensive line,

101
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: but certainly James as well. That combination I think has

102
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: made that number really low this year. That it's a

103
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: it's an exceptional number. He's always getting yardage going forward.

104
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: That's certainly important, and that's very very important. That's that's

105
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: that's a big thing. Uh. That is something coach warhop

106
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: old Lion coach does a great job of preaching and

107
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: talking about. Uh. And and that's one thing Joyce Joys

108
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: Old Lion coach says. The good thing about this guy,

109
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: he says he's always falling forward here. He says, he's

110
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: never a negative runner. Uh. Plus he says he's a

111
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: four point four average percary guy, which is hard to

112
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: see and a lot of guys coming out, but James

113
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: is a guy who just give him a crease, he'll

114
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: get it back to the line of scrimmage. You don't

115
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: have to block him all. He'll get it back to

116
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. And uh, you know, a lot

117
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: of guys say, just give me a little crease, I'll

118
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: get in it. James the guy can do it. I mean,

119
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: he's a guy that, uh tell those guys in the huddle,

120
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, hey, give me just a crack, Just give

121
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: me a little people, I'll get through it. And he

122
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: comes out the other side. He finds a way to

123
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: come out the other side, and he's a positive runner.

124
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: That's a great thing to happen. Can we get this

125
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: guy in the Pro Bowl? Um, that's your job. My

126
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,440
