He's athletic and everything, but on a designed run that makes me very nervous, he doesn't quite have the athleticism to escape huge hits if defenders hone in on him. I'm perfectly content letting him look downfield for the pass, and take off running if the defense gives it to him.

I agree. I like his mobility and the fact he can break out of the pocket when he needs to, but he's not a true scrambler by any means.

What happened to the moving pocket plays that Gibbs 1 did?? We could run that stuff here and there. I remember Rypien running those plays very well and he didn't have half the mobolity JC does. Just gives the defense something else to prepare for.

THe old dart right that Ryp ran a lot required the H back to cut the DE on the offenses right. It's illegal now if the lineman is engaged which he usually is. It seemed like they scored at least once a game with that play in '91. They could still roll out more with Cooley dragging underneath, ARE crossing and Thrash or McCardell clearing out (the old 49er play that Dwight Clark had The Catch on and the Packers and Eagles still run all the time). While JC isn't Vince Young he is at least as mobile as Montana or Brett.

He also has the Redskins longest run this season, 40yds vs the Jets.

No he doesn't. He had a 29 yard run and Portis beat that with a 32 yard run.

32 yards isnt very impressive, with a running style team, after 8 games.
