WHen I looked at the leader board today.. I couldn't help but notice that Zeke has the same number of TDs as Henry on half the carries.. and also has a higher ypc average.... but yall aint hear dat from me..

Funny how you usually never mention TD's with Zeke, but now you do. And its usually yards you are bragging about, but not today. Why would THAT be?

Would you like to make a bet in regards to yards and TD's with Zeke and Henry?

I care more about YPC and always have. If a back rushes for 1,000 yards but averages 3.5 YPC, he didn't have a good year. The minimum for a good back should be 4.0 per carry. Elliot has never averaged less than 4 for a season in his six years. Obviously, we'd prefer for him to be at least 4.5 like he is this year so far.

Since you don't seem to like Elliott no matter what he does, your kneejerk response might be 4.0 is too low of an expectation. Like Elliott, the great Emmitt Smith averaged 4 yards even once in his first five years and actually average 3.9 his rookie season. Elliott won't last as long as Smith because of his playing style, but their careers compare fairly well up to this point.

Nobody clicks on Titans stories. That’s the difference. I’m actually glad ex-players are flushing out these dorks that went to college for it.

They really seem clueless and provide no insight like the ex-players do.

They’re journalist who happen to watch sports and write about it. Their expertise is writing.

Who cares? I want wins. Period.

Well, that's why they are outsiders.

one/two punch is good enough for me. Could not care less about rankings or fantasy football. Only real football.

I like Elliott, just not at 15 million. He’s just not the great back some think he is. Pollard keeps proving that.

THREE GAMES................come on people, sheesh!

Give this stuff 6/7 weeks, ok?

And.....neither guy can match Alvin Kamara or Nick Chubb, ah,,,,Derrick Henry?

I don't base my opinions on how much a player gets paid, only if they are helping the team win.

That would be fine If there was no salary cap. Been plenty of games where zeke doesn’t play well.

Bozon? Where you been hiding?

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Would you take a 2nd round pick for him?

Too many threads, really need a one size fits all.

I'm going to play the same game that the Zeke haters play and say that if Zeke was getting as many carries as Henry he'd have just as many yards... maybe more.. mean Zeke is averaging a higher yards per carry right? Which I have been hearing for two years now that if you have a higher yards per carry you're a better back..
