0:00Yeah,
0:00this this press conference on August
0:0313th from Liam Liam Cohen
0:05um
0:06made me feel better about having David
0:09Montgomery and De'Andre Swift ranked
0:12above Basha Tuten. He was asked about
0:15filling the void left behind by Travis
0:16Etienne and Cohen said the guys that are
0:19going to come in to replace him,
0:20ultimately it's their jobs to take.
0:23We're going to have to be a little bit
0:24more by committee and those guys are
0:27going to have to play their part. And
0:28then later in the same presser he talks
0:30about Basha Tuten. He says the 428 jumps
0:32out at you. He can run, he's strong, he
0:34can run through contact. Right now we
0:37just got to continue to work on his
0:38tracks, reading his keys, and just go
0:41play. Not overthinking where the ball
0:44maybe should go or could go and just
0:46stick your foot in the ground and get
0:47north because when he does that and he
0:50gets his shoulder square and downhill,
0:51it can be impressive. He can really run
0:53through arm tackles. I've been pleased
0:55with him, but we've got to take another
0:58step.
1:00>> Yeah, I mean he that was a concern for
1:02me coming out is that he might be more
1:04of a boom bust runner. And it's funny
1:07because, you know, in his rookie season
1:09he was actually very consistent. His
1:10success rate was was very high, you
1:12know, in NFL Next Gen.
1:14Uh and he wasn't particularly explosive.
1:16He was actually kind of more ripping off
1:17those chunk gains.
1:19Um
1:20which I found encouraging to be honest
1:22cuz it's like yeah, I don't I don't boom
1:24bust guys. Like Harvey was extremely
1:25boom bust and I think that has not
1:27served him well as far as, you know,
1:29getting
1:30more of a lead back role. They bring
1:32back Dobbins.
1:34They seem pretty intrigued by Jona
1:35Coleman now. Like
1:37coaches like that consistency a lot.
1:40Um
1:41and maybe he's not where they're
1:43you know, hoping he'll he'll be or
1:45hoping he would be as far as that
1:47consistency.
1:49I do think that
1:51you know,
1:52I still like taking him in the fifth as
1:54a bet on him being able to distance
1:57himself from Chris Rodriguez
1:59over the course of the year.
