Jonathon Brooks is a Bad Mother Fucker

[immamac 44199]

We have been using the RB talk thread and it's time we started a dedicated thread for Jonathon in the football board. 

This was leading into the season. 

Let's get some highlights and appreciation going up in here. 

[Doc Daneeka 6791]

Yes, yes he is. 
 

 

[Horn Dogg 4277]

Roschon passed the bad motherfucker baton to Brooks when he left.

[TheRealRonWeaver? 1274]

[billfromlaketravis 11784]

He’s surprised me. His burst and top end speed are much better than I expected. Runs tough too.

Sometimes players keep getting better. 

[Sgt Hulk 14330]

You could see this in his HS film. He walks with a bad mother fucker walk

[Hermanator 7570]

Need to start a burnt fund for this young man. Without him our running game through 4 weeks would be pretty spare with Baxter injured.

Goddamn, Brooks SLEPT that baylor defender

[LebongJames 1900]

He was ranked as the 25th rb coming out high school. Look at the list now, not many if any I would take over him. 

[thunderlounge 8318]

Let’s get this man a wallet.

Flame away, but he’s better than Roschon.  He’s a poor man’s JC.

First of all no need to downplay RoJo to hype JB. That said you're wrong and wrong and I'm a huge JB fan.

[troph 25089]

His practice and camp production as well as mop up time has looked good the past few years so it’s not a total surprise but he’s better than I thought he was going to be with the lights on him. 

[OU Sucks 9325]

But has he met South Austin's mom yet?

Too early to say one way or another.  Roschon got significantly better over time.  Brooks may, too.  And, he's pretty fucking good right now.

The QB recruit got better as a RB than the RB recruit has yet, you don't say. RoJo deserves all the credit for what he did and the plays he was counted on to make happen. Again no need to downplay him to hype Brooks. This is fucking stupid to even have to say in a thread devoted to a different player.

[mdmost 43849]

I have to take my lumps because I was ready to go straight to Baxter after the Rice game. So glad I was wrong. He is great to watch.

He slept him so bad it made him look like Flip Wilson.

Wyoming game, but still awesome...

 

[Nope 3151]

Glad to see someone else make the JC comparison. I had been thinking it but no one else said it so I figured I was just koolaid drunk again.

[cochamps 1885]

He is fast and does not go down easy.  Very nice combination.

No one is better than Roschon! That man is a saint.

But yes he is a beast. Love how he seems to run better in the late 2nd half of games.

[Post Oak 20551]

His running style reminds me of Ced.

[mwaadeeb 1362]

He's slippery as hell, like they greased his pants.

[jw4381 3241]

Dat boy fast.

Hell who hasn’t?!?

[lemonandaturd 4289]

J Brooks runs like a faster version of Duane Thomas.    Glider.

I agree.  I'm not sure why Roschon was brought up.  But, if they're going to be compared, I'm going to point out that the comparison is between a 4-year player and a sophomore.  I think Brooks still has more upside to show us.

[6th Street 6653]

Camar Wheaton LJ Johnson were the top RB targets in that 2021 class. Wheaton got hurt and was never the same, and LJ has done nothing. Brooks turned out to be the best back in Texas that year.

[Lhorn 5080]

I too like the description of him as a glider and the JC comparison.  
He looked great every time he’s had the ball in the past but you never know if that was because he was fresh and defenses were gassed.  
he showed good patience on a couple of the runs last game.  he let his blocking develop and accelerated through the hole.

You’re dumb.  But it’s ok 

[Laga4 1270]

He really has a knack for finding the end zone. 

[Hook1997 5486]

Watching him in a few games in high school was something else, he averaged 12 yards a carry.  Sucks he had the winning pass thrown on him in the state championship game in overtime on a weird trick play.

Sark puts him in for a lot of the touchdown play calls.

Great pic from the past... 

[cmontexas 3331]

He reminds me of Arian Foster. Runs upright but maintains tremendous balance. Great acceleration 

[LTtxfan 49909]

Early in video, great call for JB Touchdown

That is a good comp.  I also think despite a couple drops, Brooks is a really good receiver like Foster.

I will be really interested to see what Brooks runs at the combine.  I think he is faster than I thought he was.

A slower version of Charles is also pretty decent comp that someone made.

I never would've thought that 2 years later both them fools would be JAGs at SMU and here's Brooks grabbing the lead back job by the horns. 

He runs strong and with balance, I really like watching him. I know Sark is super high on CJ (and his pedigree speaks for itself being a 5 star), but watching Brooks during the Alabama and Wyoming games made me a believer. If its not there, he'll put his head down and fight for 2-3. But you give him daylight and he'll turn it into a huge chunk.
