Not saying Nate is as talented as that kid up north (he's clearly not), but if you're a small back you absolutely NEED one thing to be successful: a LOW center of gravity.

Nate carries his weight high. Always has, always will. If Nate had superb vision & speed he'd still go down too easy to be an optimal RB (& at this level of play he clearly doesn't have either) . I've said this several times before it became a proven, painful issue this season.

And I'll say it again.

Love Nate Carter, & refuse to dog him. He's earned his right, perhaps. But he is not a guy who's going to improve much at all with more snaps.

mutu.
