Besides, after a slow start on the sneaks, in which he went directly behind the centre and upright, Franklin is as good as anyone in the league at it.
    Anyone able to recall who started that trend?

    I am thinking the Alouettes with Adrian McPherson and Trestman would have been there. It seems to me that this has only happened within the last decade.

    In the 80's BC would bring in Tim Cowan for short yardage QB sneaks, but I think it was more because Roy Dewalt had developed bad knees. Ravi may be right on the recent trend with MacPherson replacing AC.

    Here's an excellent analysis of Franklin's play earlier this season, and some great reasons to get excited about watching him play for the rest of it.
