... “We know,” Steen said. “We just look at each other. You’ve got to know something like that.”

When did Steen first see the resemblance?

“I think it was the play he ran 50 yards down the field, the first one,” Steen said of a 40-yard run on the first play of a series early in the second quarter. “When we got in the huddle, we all were smiling, and we knew what was about to happen.” ...

I just watched that play again a few minutes ago.  The hole opened up by the line was huge.

If the Media don't get to his head, I really think T.J. will be a very exposed RB. He has talent, size and speed. It makes me wonder how the high schools he played could even stop him. RTR!

I was very impressed with Yeldon. He was patient and waited for the OL to open the hole. Once the hole opened Yeldon hit it with a burst of speed. He made it look easy. He is going to be special.

He nearly broke about 2 or 3 of them. A shoe string tackle and our own guy pushing him forward causing him to lose his balance, cost him 2 more TD's. Lord, let him stay healthy.  :pray:

Yeah, that shove by the WR didn't help, but the WR was losing his balance and didn't do it on purpose.  I don't know if TJ would have gotten a TD on the shoestring tackle, but it would have been a big gainer.
