I think they're similar in that, both have the ability to accelerate through the hole and the Pats had zero answer for it the guys were shocked. They're also similar in their strength for their size, you're not gonna get Akers down easy and Zeke's the same way.
Where I think Akers has to keep improving is his vision, that's where he's not in Zeke's class just yet. He actually missed a couple cutbacks that could have had him well over 200 last night IMO. But he is definitely showing enormous strides and I think we're going to ride him through the playoffs.
I'm excited man. This team IMO is better suited to win it all than our 2018 team. IF this run game continues.
It was questions on his vision that made me skeptical he was going to be better than Henderson. I didn't like what I saw of his vision earlier in the year.
But he has grown a lot! Last night he found the right holes and hit 'em hard! Sure, he missed a few cutbacks but I'm not complaining.
I know he was a rookie so it's not shocking that he improved in that area but improvement is not automatic and doesn't always happen.
