Malachi James transferring to EMU

[ImperialOrange]

sucks we are losing this, wish he stayed healthy though

Think the tape tells the story. He has elite straight line speed but isn't really a football player. Scrimmage runs against a defense that gave up similar runs to way too many with lesser speed and kick returns that never got past the 30. No real vision or shake just outran slow safeties in practice.

He really should focus on track, he'd thrive there.

Someone else also said earlier about his lack of vision, straight line speed and how it's against SU Defense. Not for nothing but those first 2 runs the call was typical SU runs this year, right up the middle with no hole. He saw there was no hole and bounced out to the outside and made a long run.

With that said, i was not overly impressed when he did get chances. Lots of history of people with a lot of speed that doesn't translate to the football field. The Raiders have always been burned by this.

RIP Al Davis. Loved taking speed merchant's 2 rounds too early and kickers 6 rounds too early.

He should've been tackled for an 8-10 yard gain. This highlight is more about our poor tackling than it is about a good RB. It should make everyone crazy that we were improperly trying to tackle high in the spring and that it still continued through to the last game of the season. That's the D or A in dart for those scoring at home.

You’re correct. Our defense is on full display there.

Looks exactly like the 3rd quarter UNC TD run

He’s going to move to CB

“At my new school, 9 times out of 10 I’ll be playing cornerback”

Why couldn’t we just put him at corner?

Why couldn’t we just put him at corner?

I'm going to guess it has something to do with his injuries and why he was asked to leave

CB is a room i'll never be worried about with fran

My guess is, he hasn't played cb since HS and the injuries definitely have more to the story

They make their players work in a factory?
Why would anyone want to go there?

 

[BronsonCuse]

I hope he can get and stay healthy. I would love to see what he can do. If he can put it together I'll wish it was here.

 

[LpoolNative]

Wouldn’t count eastern Michigan as an impressive final 8 lol
