Breece Hall is a grown man

[BWRhasnoAC]

He’s a better pass catcher too. And quite frankly, I think he’s better in pass protection. I don’t think he gets nearly enough credit in that.

IDK David was said to have the best hands on the team.

That slight hesitation on that kick-off return after he caught the ball to read the holes in the defense and then the jets turned on. Brilliant. Huge win. Loved it.

To me, Breece's movements seem very fluid (smooth, like poster above said), vs David's abruptness. Both great. I dont know how Breece avoided multiple tacklers on some of his runs, he just seemed to make the subtlest movement and made them miss - what a joy to watch

... wait ... when did Hall return a kick off???

Guessing he means Kene.

(Narrator voice) He didn’t.

Breece doesn't run with quite the same violence as David but watch him in pass protection. He's almost always the aggressor and always the hammer not the nail. He blows back most linebackers with ease. Kid is strong.

I noticed on at least one occasion that Hall absolutely destroyed a blitzing LB, just levelled him. You love to see it.

And Breece one-ups him. His hands are amazing.

Just re-watched some of his highlights from the game. Dude has just a remarkable ability to fluidly change his center of balance at any given time. I wouldn’t be shocked if he took dance or gymnastics at some point in his life. He’s graceful out there.

Can he be better than Montgomery?

Might be already and that’s crazy to say...

 

[Cyclonepride]

It wasn't superior early, and it wasn't superior often, but it was superior when it needed to be.

Definitely. A little spotty early on, but I think we wore them down.

Hopefully Breece can get healthy for next week. He carried the ball 28 times and had over a hundred yards with a bad ankle.

Unless his ankle was already hurt I thought it was fairly late in the game that he came up limping. I doubt it was that bad but adrenaline is real.

Can he be better than Montgomery?

Yes

 

[4theCYcle]

Can he be better than Montgomery?

Yes. He has more top end speed, he's bigger and likely will be stronger. I think he has a higher ceiling due to speed and natural ability. DM was fantastic at creating something out of nothing, but you can see his lack of speed show in the NFL. Breece has another gear.

Let's see what Breece's high school coach thinks about him

I don't believe OU went after Kolar either.

Nope Oklahoma State did and his brother was there at the time

Yes, watching Mike Rose toss aside the OU running back reminded me of how good Breece is in pass protection.
