GoZips Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I watched Jawon against VMI and was quite impressed. A tough, hard nosed runner who actually looked for holes, made cuts and never, ever quit on a play. It should be fun to watch him develop over the next three years. He is certainly a player you can build around. His abilities should make the O-line's job a lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 His abilities should make the O-line's job a lot easier. I don't know if it makes their job easier, but his abilities certainly make the o-line look a lot better than it is. He hits seams harder and faster than any RB we've had since Hendry. If Dennis Kennedy had that mindset, he'd have been in the NFL. Now if we could only get a QB that makes our OL look a lot better than it is...

zipsfan33 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I was at OSU and I have seen Chisholm both times at home... I am impressed with him so far. I hope he keeps it up, but I have a feeling like all other backs...he will wear down and be average... or worse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K92 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 The more I hear "The Chisel", the more I like it. The Chisel f'shizzle. I hope he keeps his momentum building by carving up the Hurons defense on Saturday. All things considered, 2-3 would look pretty nice coming into homecoming.

If Dennis Kennedy had that mindset, he'd have been in the NFL. Now if we could only get a QB that makes our OL look a lot better than it is... I do think it could help the line. If they were blocking for Keener...they would have to open a 5-6 foot hole and keep it open for about 45 seconds. The Chisel only needs a small crease and often times not even that. Since he is a slasher and good at cut backs...he can often make something of nothing (a really good quality considering the current state of our line). But the biggest thing will be the attitude and confidence the line will get over time. Knowing you have a great back behind you makes you want to get that hole for him. So...I do believe we will have a good/great line eventually. The Chisel, Rossi and Alexander will be here for a while and all are talented...and complimentary. I think we will be a good running team. That should help our passing game to. Not sure what impact it will have on our kicking game though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 He hits seams harder and faster than any RB we've had since Hendry. Good observation. He is fast in the right way. BTW, a chisel is used to pound a rock....we need to do a better job of pounding the rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 More PD coverage of "The Chisel". He's now up to #16 nationally in rushing yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 He's now up to #16 nationally in rushing yards.Isn't a good/great/respected running game supposed to open up an easy passing game?

The game is about passing (not that running isn't important). I've been saying it for year now. This is going to sound discombobulated because I don't entirely remember the context of what was said, but on some NFL talking heads program, a moderator threw out the question to two former players-turned-commentators about who their top 5-or-so offensive skill-player selections would be. They chose QB's & WR's. Neither of them chose a single running back (let alone a Fullback). The moderator was surprised & threw out the names of a few of the NFL's top RB's. Both former players-turned-commentators said to the effect that, "In today's NFL the RB is a throw-in player." Wow. Shows how the game has evolved.

Blue & Gold Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Great quote from Gaffney's article here: As Chisholm attempts to become the Zips’ first 1,000-yard rusher since Dennis Kennedy in 2008, he would not gloat about the schools that did not believe in him. “I don’t like to think about that. I am here now and I love it,” Chisholm said. “The feelings I have now, I would not imagine in a hundred years. The coaches I have here … coach Ianello, I love him. Coach Miceli, I love him. They treat me like no other. “Everything anyone ever told me here has been the truth. I would not want to be any other place.” Not Hargrave Military Academy — or Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Maryland, Connecticut and Rutgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 The game evolves to fit the rules. If the rules favor passing, passing will prevail. If the rules favor running, running will prevail. Wide open offenses with lots of passing make for better highlight reels than 3 yards and a cloud of (synthetic turf) dust. It draws in more casual fans and generates more income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying it for year now.I watched a team with an terrible passing game that had a great running game and a good defense get one game away from the super bowl last year. While it's not popular, it can be done. Someone can always point to the exception. In business, a bad manager will look at an isolated success case and believe it can happen everywhere in lieu of asking why it happened. A one quarter jump in market share can be a result of one unusually large project going your way. If the bad manager believes that level of market share is sustainable because a miracle will happen and another project that size will happen again, he is kidding himself and that is why he is the bad manager. Everything averages. I want to be the team that doesn't have to take the hard road each time it leaves the house. I don't believe the road has to be perfect, but driving over the MOon hasn't been much fun. The University needs to start using its brain in lieu of wishing something unusual would happen. Make a wish or crap in your hat, see which one fills up first. We have a hat full of crap we have been filling for the better part of 20 years. It's really starting to stink around here.

One team beat the #16 team in the country completing ONE pass.. Then I watched Auburn beat Florida completing SEVEN passes. Two college football games from "top" conferences in the NCAA complete EIGHT total passes in 7 hours of football and collect two wins in front of 142,000 fans. Weird.
