Yahoo Sports NFL on MarShawn Lloyd

Lloyd's compulsive bouncing habit limits effectiveness and wastes designed plays.

Lloyd has a persistent tendency to bounce runs at the first sign of conflict, which undermines his effectiveness. On one near-goal-line play, he bounced the ball despite a hole being available on the play-side; the source argues that as a stoutly built running back, Lloyd should attack the defensive back rather than bounce everything. While Lloyd's bouncing did occasionally create value (turning a blown block by Tucker Kraft into a decent gain), the pattern is counterproductive and limits his ability to execute designed plays.
