Honestly I would just as soon see them run to the edge or slide before the tackle.

Dixon's superior speed did not translate to longer runs as he has a slew of 10 to 15 yard runs where he would run out of bounds. Like LMJ, a lot of Masoli's long runs started relatively inside. Dixon (Thomas too) seldom ran other than to the edge.

Re: More Mariota
With Masoli, I almost never worried about him getting into some contact. But with who we have left on the roster and their builds, I would rather them slide also.RanDux wrote:Honestly I would just as soon see them run to the edge or slide before the tackle.
