RB Phil Mafah film breakdown

[conner01]

Was saying he dances too much. I don’t think he does at all. Mafah is the definition of a one cut runner. Yes, every running back “dances” around when the defense is able to penetrate the LOS early.

Just watching that ND game o didn’t see any dancing. He was much more agile than I expected. Made some nice cuts. He’s not a blazer but he’s not slow. He can catch the ball too.

Oops. Please feel free to merge mine.

My bad.

I like his ability of hop scorching through the obstacles blocking the hole like that. That shows me instance and good feet.

his time with his new team has not changed that reality dude

The Titans Oline is not that good. Average at best just like the Cowboys Oline was in 2023. At the same time, to be fair to your point, Pollard's ypc average did decrease by up to a yard during the past 2 seasons (from a 5.2 ypc average to a 4.2 ypc average) ever since he started getting used full-time as a RB1, so it is understandable why his ypc average would decrease. It still didn't stop him of continuing to rush for 1k+ yards each season, plus a 4.2 ypc average is still pretty darn good.

Looks like a promising young RB. Between him and Blue, it could be fun to watch the Boys run again.

Honestly, pencil this Mafah in as RB1.

I'm leaning that direction as well. He's getting a ton of shade thrown his way. I'm struggling understanding that. This was a great pick. If the Commanders made this pick or the Ravens the fans on here would be praising those teams.

Just watched his combine interview and he seems pretty knowledgeable. Knew about the ankle but not the shoulder injury.
