The Breece vs DM Conversation

Any way we could make this a Breece, DM and TD thread? I wasn’t around for TD so I’d like to hear from the old heads.
"old heads" that's a new one. And FU for that. Might was well throw Dexter Green in there as well. Amazing RB.
 
With the team we had during the Montgomery era he was absolutely the best type of back for us to have. I think if you were to put Breece behind some of the o-lines Montgomery had Breece would still be effective but not nearly at the same level as he was last season and the year before. Overall though, Breece has better breakaway speed and I think he slightly edges out Monty.

They're both great. Breece might be a better NFL prospect due to being faster, but David has proven to be a good NFL RB (despite a below average line. Sound familiar?)

DM used balance and effort.
BH uses patience and vision.

And it's not that one or the other wasn't good or great at the other's key attributes. I just think these, plus their respective physical tools, are what make them so successful.

That 1 handed catch thoughhhhh....I feel like he was slightly faster his freshman year, but maybe it's because he added some bulk last year to handle more hits.

Yeah, that catch by Breece was dirty. The kid needs to take a shower for all the filthy in that highlight tape.
 
The program in large part where it is because of DM the "five star culture" was bought into deeply by DM.

Yep talent wise Breece Hall and DM said as much in a podcast this past winter...but it's kind of hard to fathom anyone better than DM to ignite the program the way he did with the legend of his late weekend night work outs etc.

Time and place is everything. Do we get Breece w/o David? They each have their place. Glad I have been able to enjoy watching them both. Can’t wait till fall!
 
They really aren’t comparable. Brock is more comparable to Montgomery than Breece, but Brocks problem is he had Breece in front of him. and Kene who was a veteran with world class speed and an NFL draft pick without starting at Iowa State.
 
Both are great RB with a little bit different set of skills but to me just seems like Hall knows how to bust off bigger plays or find the running lanes quicker than DM could. DM was really shifty and patient then would make a guys miss a tackle or run through a guy or 2 before he was down while Hall just seems to burst through a hole, make a move and he's gone. I do agree Hall probably had a better OL than DM did but if I had to bet my mortgage on who will be the better NFL back I'd probably put it on Hall.

I do think J Brock could open some eyes after Hall is gone and would not be surprised to see him get a boost in carries this year too. He's a nice change of pace RB that makes guys miss too and probably could be RB1 on some teams.
 
One of my favs for DM. Running over Josie Jewell is a classic. I'd post a clip, but not sure what format this system accepts. .mov and .mp4 obviously don't work...
