This answers our question of whether he’s able to stand being a full-timer. Too bad, he’s a game-breaker.

It’s always going to be an issue because often he’s going to be tackled from behind or the side while he’s going at full speed. It always looks worse, and I don’t think the player has an opportunity to set himself as opposed to a head-to-head collision.

It’s the curse of his speed — too many defenders will make desperate grabs at him as he goes past them, and he will continue to fall at funny angles.

I think he would play if this was the postseason. He will be held out for the next couple of games so he can be ready for the long haul.
