Why is CJ so brittle?

[SpiderRico]

In 2014 when it started to look like maybe he might be able to overtake JR, he hurts his hip on a simple zone read and isn't right until the Taxslayer massacre. In 2015, it seemed like every time he got hit, he got hurt. This year, in his first real scramble of the year, he gets hurt yet again.

I love me some CJ...but d@mn!

I agree. He moves like he's aged 15 yrs over the past year. Legs used to he a huge weapon. Now he's zero threat to run.

Brittle has never been how I'd describe CJ.

I think hes running less, by design....really ineffective design.

Samuel L Jackson will explain it to you in Unbreakable. If you still don't get it, ask Tony Moiaki.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

So maybe we need Jackson to blow up the coaching staff to get the Bruce Willis coach we need......

The shots he has taken since the Pitt game last year would make anyone brittle. He isn't exactly built like Cam Newton. Imo, he is going to take shots the rest of the year I just hope he survives.

 

[Bigtenchamp]

Because he skinny.... and yes he doesn't look like he moves as well as he used to.

 

[DDThompson]

Brittle? Seriously?

The guy has taken mammoth shots and always gets back to his feet.

 

[PCHawk]

Isn't he wearing a knee brace?

 

[Jonrn]

He's brittle because Iowa offensive line sucks at pass blocking. They can smash defensive lineman to clear holes for running backs, but are softer than cotton candy in pass blocking.

Looks to me like he is wearing Forest Gump leg braces.

 

[awBison]

He is not used to playing physical football.

CJ's fine. Our OL isn't very good, very mediocre run blocking and pathetic pass protection.

 

[99topdawg]

He's not brittle. He got beat hard.

He's not brittle. He got beat hard.

And hard, and hard again...oyva....I think the one that's brittle is the o line and the good old captain.....

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

CJ has taken some Big Time Hits this season thru 3 games!! That line is not protecting him...

35 yards rushing today. Sam Brownley rushed for more yards. Oline was not good today...and the OC changed Nothing!

Still soooo angry.

He is not used to playing physical football.

Can't believe it took this long.

Maybe he rooms with Jay Scheel.
