Veering off track here, but I agree that the pass protection was not the greatest. Nor was Jantz's response under pressure... he seems to want to retreat rather than step up in the pocket and he takes big sacks because of it.
So glad Shontrelle is back...

I agree with this. I think he ran harder and was tougher to bring down.
Great game Shontrelle!
It is so great and refreshing to have Shonnnnnnntrelllllllle back in the line-up, He is such a dynamic back who can open a game right up.
And a very fun character to have on the team. So happy for him, the team and us the fans

This is an odd comparison but Shontrelle reminds me a little of Mike Hart. I think Shontrelle is more physically gifted but they run similar. They both can make people miss in a phone booth and both always fall forward and don't go down easily. Like I said, odd comparison but similar in how they operate.
Shontrelle has so much more wiggle than James White it's silly. White is good when he has a nice hole but he's a 1 cut guy. Shontrelle is a true gamebreaker. We are so much better with him receiving the majority of the touches.
The only thing is wish he could improve on, and I'm not sure you can improve on this, is acceleration. His speed was fine, but we didn't break one out the entire time. There were a few times were I was jumping up for a break away and then tackled. He has the speed, just needs to accelerate past the safeties.
