His inability to break even one tackle prevents him from using his speed. It's pretty frustrating.
That being said, blocking for him would be a novel idea.

I'm really disappointed with his kick-off returns The Steelers would get better field position by taking a touch back.
Amos had some good seasons early on. Although he was short in height he weighed over 200 and, yes, was able to break tackles. So, no, I see no resemblance.
I remember AZ differently, he pretty much went down at first touch. Maybe I'm remembering a different portion of his career or maybe I'm just misremembering.Originally Posted by RobinCole
In 2001 after Bettis went down in Game Eleven, Amos played the rest of the season and averaged more than five yards per carry. Started in both playoff games. In 2002, he had more than 1,000 yards combined rushing and receiving. Then he got the bright idea to bulk up. It slowed him down noticeably and he gradually dropped out of sight.
he definitely isn't popping that thang
After his bulk up did he exhibit the aforementioned "fall at first contact" behavior?
Indeed, that thang remains stubbornly unpopped.
If a defensive player sneezes hard enough, Archer falls down. His "video game speed" doesn't mean **** because if he gets touched he's on the ground. This is looking like a really really bad pick IMO. Rarely in the NFL will you go untouched... if he can't break a tackle, he won't be in the NFL for very long.
Tomlin: Let's unleash hell and "mop the floor" with the competition.
RussB, I'm not a physicist but if Amos Z's extra 10-12 pounds (on a 5'9" frame) slowed him down, it's possible that he was running with less force than when he was lighter. E = mc2 (er sump'n like that)?
