Big Blue Huddle

Great balance, low to the ground, and not the fastest guy

Maybe as a runner, but Scattebo is likely to be a far better receiver than Joe.

Yeah..somewhat. Morris used his power..low pad level to an advantage. But he was a terrible receiver mostly. Skat is much more well rounded

The way Giants fans talk about him, the anointing oils are already applied.... I expected to see a photo of John Riggins holding his hall of fame bust 

I dont see it.  Morris was much smaller I think.  Worse hands also.

I am not talking about his receiving, I am talking about his running style.  When I watch the film on Skattebo, I see the same low to the ground, incredible balance and change of direction ability, that Morris exploited to much success.

Little Joe might not have a great 40 time (I have no idea what he ran) but he had great quickness.  He was through a hole in an eye blink. 

I agree with Crypto above - can we tap the brakes a little on putting Skattebo in the Pro Bowl?  Like maybe lets see a few pro carries?  You know that Parcells would be calling him "Canton" by now, right?

No one is suggesting Pro Bowl or HOF.  On the other hand, I think some people see Skattebo's 40 time and dismiss him as being too slow to be effective in the NFL, even though he carried his team to the college playoffs.

I see the comparison, Rich. I think "The Scatterbug" reminds me of Ahmad Bradshaw. Quick runner with good vision (not unlike Lil Joe) but with an intent to harm the opponent despite his size.

A little like (ewww) Jacobs and Bradshaw had a baby.

Joe Morris ran low to the ground because he was only 5'7".  Skat is 2 inches taller and 30 pounds more.  I dint see Skat with a low running profile but more upright with just pinball bouncing balance.  I may be wring.

Marshawn Lynch running style and success would be a dream.  He was something else.

THIS!!! With plenty of fun and excitement!!! Combine "BEAST-mode" AND "fun and excitement" and that's what you all need to buckle your seatbelts and chin-straps for!!!

He may take a few plays to knock the desert dust and cactus needles out of his helmet and shoulder pads, but he'll ramp it up quickly and it's going to get fun in a hurry!

Peace!

Thanks, as always, Rich @MightyGiants  , for sharing these!

Season 1986 had a plethora of highlights which never made the final cut of either "Giants Among Men" (NOTE: the one-hour Pat Summerall game-by-game documentary on the Giants, or "World Champions," the 23-minute 1986 Giants normal season highlight video. But in this 27-7 domination over the Cardinals, Joe Morris wasn't done running after making it 14-0. In the final moments of the game, he broke through on the left side, went 50-60 yards and got tripped up on the one-yard line. That run was even more exciting than the 54-yarder in the video! That run NEVER made it to any of the highlights because the Giants, if I remember, either took a knee or just ran the clock out.

I wish our friend BigBlueVCR would have appended that run to this otherwise outstanding clip!

Peace!
