Tucker

[shu 49]

Question about our stud rb. why doesn’t Tuck use his stiff arm much. I seen 4 plays that I remember him not using it and one time he got tackled pretty hard. If he used it he woulda got more yards. Shouldn’t that be a common thing for a rb.

I think he knows 1) he can outrun them with elite, breakaway speed in even modest space, and 2) a stiff arm forces contact unnecessarily considering #1

It just seems every great back has a good stiff Arm.

I think he has one, but unless he is on a line to the end zone and a defender has a good angle at him, why use it? It would slow him down when he can simply stride out and outrun them instead. He's a sprinter, a turbo charged sports car who can simply separate from any defender with one step.

I'll add that I am pleased with my #34 slides from iSlide. git ya sum Sean Tucker 'Primary'

Maybe he just doesn't think to. Every player has their tendencies. Maybe that's a weakness he can work on.

This is like asking why that really hot girl doesn’t where a heel that’s 1/100th an inch higher.

In other words, enjoy what you have and maybe suggestions on style are kind of a joke.

It shifts the equilibrium point and causes deceleration. Tucker has incredible balance and a Ferrari engine. What you suggest would shift that balance and cause his engine to throttle backwards. You don’t treat a Ferrari like a Wrangler.

Barry Sanders had the most amazing balance for a RB ever and I cannot recall him ever using a stiff arm either.

Purely conjecture but I would guess ball security. He tends to cover the ball well when approaching contract, perhaps in younger years he hadn't and put the ball on the ground as result?
