He ****ing HATES everybody. If he can’t find anybody to hate, he’ll stomp the **** out of the ground.
I love it. Would it be more efficient to run smoothly and lean out his body movement? Sure. Is it a lot of fun to watch him just try as hard as he can on ****ing on every movement he makes? Yes. Does it show up on film - especially when he pushes a pile like a D-9 Cat? Can’t hurt.
I know I know I know. A running gag this offseason has been "He's a mixture of Barry Sanders and Jim Brown!!"
But seriously... I've got a legit comparison for Pacheco: Marion Barber.
Similar size and playing weight. Both players had this style of violent running. I think Pacheco is a shade faster, and simply due to playing next to Demarco Murray, Barber never got as many carries as he deserved (though he did get just about all goal line and short yardage work).
I think Marion Barber could have been a legit #1 RB. He wore down after a couple years as most RBs do, but that doesn't mean Pacheco will suffer the same. Keep your fingers crossed and knock on wood for his long term health! [Reply]

similar running style, I agree, but Pacheco is much, much faster, I think. [Reply]
