Sportsgod Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 http://culturemob.com/blog/joe-paterno-and-penn-state-come-to-washington-d-c *An on-the-mark recap of yesterday's surprisingly-close game @ Fed Ex field and the state of Penn State football. Plenty of Redskin references throughout and even some draft recommendations for April..........:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacky McSlackAss Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Say no to Royster. Say yes to Ryan Mother ****ing Williams! As a Penn State fan, I will agree with this. Royster is NOT what this team needs as a RB. Williams has twice the speed and vision that Royster possesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Command The 414 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Royster is yet another disappointment from a Penn State RB....will not be a NFL caliber RB...in fact what RB since Curt Warner (the original Warner for the Seahawks) has done anything in the NFL....from Blair Thomas, DJ Dozier, Curtis Enis, Ka-Jana Carter etc........being a PSU fan I love me some Joe Pa football.....but there is a reason why we are known as LB U.....not RB U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsgod Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 *Lenny Moore---Hall of Famer........Franco Harris---Hall of Famer........Lydell Mitchell.........one of the greatest Colt running backs ever. .........Matt Shuey......star fullback on the great Bear teams of the 80's........Larry Johnson Jr (used up by the time got to DC) but two-time NFL rushing champion this decade.........Royster eclipsed all of them at Penn State. Doesn't mean that will equal NFL success. But he is certainly in the mold of Matt Forte and Ryan Grant.........and a major upgrade over the fragile Keiland Williams and the oft-injured Ryan Torain.

Busch1724 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Carter may have been something had he not got injured early on in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsgod Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 *Of the top 20 PSU rushers of all-time, KiJana hadn't the most physical gifts: size, speed and power. He was Adrian Peterson before Adrian Peterson. You can't blame him for getting hurt on Cincy's crappy artifical turf. Still was the first overall pick. Elite company...........

Sportsgod Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Larry Johnson in KC was pretty good for quite a few years. *LJ Jr. in KC was a fantasy football wonder.

lavar1156 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I'm a PSU fan and I was at the game on Saturday. Royster is not an NFL caliber RB. I hope we give OG Wisniewski a good look though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacky McSlackAss Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Royster has the potential to be a decent backup in the NFL. But he lacks the burst and vision to be a quality every down back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he lacks the burst and vision to be a quality every down back. *With a quality offensive line (like in Green Bay or Pittsburgh), Royster could excel in the right system. Who was the last college runner to have three straight 1,000-yd seasons? Nearly 4,000 yds at a major program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 *With a quality offensive line (like in Green Bay or Pittsburgh), Royster could excel in the right system. Who was the last college runner to have three straight 1,000-yd seasons? Nearly 4,000 yds at a major program? Most of those who could hit those numbers don't stay all four years. There's a reason Royster did. I'm on board with Wisniewski though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on board with Wisniewski though. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=188694 *Royster has averaged 5.75 yards per carry over the course of his record-shattering career, playing behind arguably the worst PSU offensive line in the past 25 yards. No Mike Munchaks (Hall of Famer), Steve Wisniewski (future NFL HOF), Keith Dorney, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Royster is basically Tony Hunt. Redd has a bit more speed and has a chance, but might be a knucklehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsgod Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 *I was surprised Hunt didn't catch on after the Eagles cut him loose. He was another big back from Northern VA with good power/decent speed. As I said in the article, Redd has some Curt Warner in him. Mini-version. But you are correct, even minor legal violations at PSU get you so buried in the doghouse that it takes FOREVER to emerge......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
