Another issue with Ty, and what compromises him even more in short areas, is that he allows the ball into his body instead of plucking and running. That split second in securing the ball allows the defenders to get a step closer and close up what would have been open space.
I wish even more that we'd simply installed Ty at tailback last fall. He's best once he has the ball secured in his hands. Getting open, plucking the ball quickly, holding on--he had at least two key fumbles last year and nearly lost at least one more--and making guys miss do not appear to be strengths. He looks like a star and has a great burst on returns, but damn I agree--he might still be available in the sixth round.
