He is after all a powerfully built 250 pound bull with Earl Campbell legs who runs a 4.5 40 with nimble feet, a very good jump cut and the traits that make a big fast man surprisingly hard to wrap up.His catching out the backfield, small sample size but he's been good at it so far.Pass blocking, he looked pretty damned good doing it against Tampa Bay. Larry McCarren's the Rock Report has a good breakdown of his blocking. AJ is a naturally smart back who sees the field well and plays with his head and uses very good technique when picking up pass rushers. AJ isn't the kind of pesky back who looks to slow down or trip up a would be blitzer but to physically beat them. When Devin White came inside on a rush Dillon met him up close in the hole, flushed close to his line and actually started to push White back out of the hole.The second block involves Barrett, AJ didn't just help out but pretty much blasted him in the upper body and stopped him in his tracks. Obviously the embed wont work but click on the link itself. Frankly, there are things that AJ can do that most backs simply cannot.[MEDIA=youtube]_BjlJ-N_gz4[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
