He was benched against Washington. Did you watch the game?
I think he is saying that zeke was only benched 7 plays against Washington during which time morris came in and played his role and that that is not much of a benching at all. At least I think that was his point.

You nailed it........he missed 3 running plays and started this week....most benchings mean you lose your job

...and not that far behind Blount for first overall (298 v. 274). Good stuff from the rook.
FWIW, Lamar Miller is 4th in rushing, just 5 yards behind Zeke despite not playing behind one of the best Olines in football. And could have been had without a top 5 draft pick.

Just sayin...

That's crazy, doesn't feel like it. He still looks a little slower and less explosive than he did in college, wonder if he's still dealing with the injury from pre-season.

We could have signed a lot of good players for 26m........we still would have to pick someone at 4.......I'll still take the #1 21 year old RB

Looks explosive to me.

Miller + Ramsey (or multiple players via trade down)) > Zeke IMO.

A pace for a rookie record. 140 on 40. 140 on 10. Its still 140. Hate it all you want. Its still 140.

He's not going up against the Bears D every week. Murray was also on pace to break the all-time season rushing record, Peterson was on pace to breaking Emmitt's all-time rushing record.

See how unreliable these "on pace" stats are? They are the epitome of useless.

140. I know it hurts ya. 140. Let it sink in.

I thought it was the best he's looked thus far. Still waiting to see a little extra burst he showed in college on some of these runs to get to the next level outside of the line.

He was benched with the game in question.

that's a false comparison.......you paid 26m for Miller...............I could have signed a CB or DE and pair him with EE for 50m and a 4th
