Making the comment that Cedric lacks the ability to break tackles ruins any credibility.

If he lacks break away speed and can't break tackles, that would tell me he should be dropped at the LOS every play. And don't give me this "blue-chip" OL stuff either. They only started playing to their potential mid-way through last season.

You don't rack up the 5th highest total in NCAA history without having some ability.

Cedric does not have break away speed. But he does have the burst to get through the hole. And he knows how to run with patience which is infinately more important than breakaway speed.

All those that say he can't succeed because he's not a burner are the same guys that think the WRs that run the fastest 40 are the better WRs.
