Thinking Skins Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I'm reading other threads and people are saying that they run very similar. I dont see that. In the game on Saturday, I saw Watson going straight up the middle through the hole, while Candidate was running to the outside on sweeps. Both sides are nice and I think will fit this offense, but I seriously dont think that Watson and Candidate have the same running style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I never understood those comparisons either, Watson, at least every time I have seen him, has been a guy that takes it up the gut. Don't see how Betts is any more of a power back then him.

Oldskool Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Watson is listed at 5'11" / 214lbs Betts is listed at 5'10" / 221lbs Canidate is listed at 5'11" / 205lbs Watson has a running style and a physique more like Betts than Canidate. Watson is a tweener power guy with skills to get outside. Betts is a pure power guy that reminds me of S. Davis/ You really cant compare Watson and Canidate. They do different things well, but have very different styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Betts has a great burst to the hole, he's very decisive and has pretty good vision. I think his quickness for his size and his football. I think he breaks arm tackles more consistently than Watson. He's got good hands, he's got decent speed. He's just the better back IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
