Saints pay back Vikings, earn sixth straight win
Marcus Lattimore
strengths
Outstanding burst and balance to stay on his feet through contact. Strong finisher, lowering his pads and continuing to pump his legs.
very good at keeping defenders off balance, showing excellent acceleration, anticipation and footwork. natural balance and feel between the tackles with good vision and patience to follow his blocks. reliable receiving target, adjusting well to the ball with good focus.
Never goes down easy and rarely goes out of bounds, running with toughness and confidence. Good effort in pass protection and not shy about giving up his body. Taking better care of himself off-the-field with improved practice habits and stronger work ethic.
weaknesses
Lacks elite speed to consistently win the edge or out-run defenders. Strong durability concerns with two serious knee injuries the past two seasons and currently rehabbing a right knee injury from last October. Didn't look 100 percent this past season after his 2011 left knee injury and wore down late in games. Will he ever be able to return to form or will he a shell of what he once was?
2012: Held out of spring practice while recovering from ACL surgery. 2011: Suffered a torn ACL against Mississippi State in the 10th game. Missed the remainder of the season.
