You got it lolWhat the hell are you talking about?! I never replied to your first post so it has nothing to do with me, I replied to your second post but you questioned me on your first post. They were completely different topics, c’mon, try to keep up here.
Thanks for the like
Yeah, this has run its course. I’m about ready to have a few drinks and can’t wait to watch Pitt destroy the Giants O line tonight. Have a wonderful rest of the day.
Since when is 4.4 ypc something to scoff at? The fact 14 was his long makes 4.4 look even better because there wasn't an individual run that skewed the average.
I thought since 4.6 ypc in 2015 wasn’t satisfactory for DMC and we needed an upgrade at the position, that it would be the bare minimum we should expect from our upgrade.
4.6 is easily fine. Who said otherwise? McFadden's problem was staying healthy and consistent. Not a guy a team could count on to help build a balanced offense.
Thought it was pretty common knowledge (well a misguided perception) that the running game failed miserably during 2015 which caused us to go out and get Zeke. Quotes such as “meat on the bone” and/or “anyone can run behind this line” is used to mock the running game that year, despite it actually being pretty effective considering the quality of QB play and horrible receiving corps that year.
Actually it was a pleasant surprise that McFadden gained the yardage he did. McFadden's performance was about the only positive thing from the offense that year. I felt that was pretty universally recognized. He just wasn't considered a long term solution because over his career he had proven unreliable and prone to injury. The team drafted Zeke because they wanted a bell cow RB like Murray had been in 2014 to carry the torch for the running game in a balanced offense, and McFadden wasn't that guy.
Agree 4.4 is far from poor. It also isn’t great or dominating. He had a few nice runs and then got winded. He said he wasn’t looking to hit home runs early because he wanted to wear them down. He is the one that got worn down.
most dont have too, the coahes rotate them with 2-3 backs keep them feresh, Zeke self subs because he unique 3 down back that can handle being on the field more then any other back in the league..most just fail to see it..hater goggles..
Zeke had a good game. I agree it wasn't dominating, but it was a good game. Certainly nothing to sneeze at. As for being worn down, he was on the field for 88% of the offensive snaps - 63 out of the 72 plays - so he was in for the bulk of the game. No doubt that's a bigger % of snaps than the majority of RBs get, as was his 22 carries. Zeke is always at or near the top of the heap in carries per season, so he is getting his work in. At the rate of 22 carries/game he will again be at or near the most carries in the NFL again this season.
Its funny. But hey, you give the highest expectations to the best. Look forward to watching barkley tonight too. My eyes are on all the great ones.
zeke 2nd best RB production as it sits with one game to go, Cmac had 23 for 96 and zeke 22 for 96 and two scores.. that rookie so far best rb output at #1
He’s the one that does the dumb feed me gesture. Maybe he wouldn’t look so foolish asking for the ball more when he can’t handle it.
also tps in scores and can be great at pass catching should the green horn OC actually throw the ball to RBs MORE on MOORE!!
I wouldn’t expect much. I like watching great RB’s too but fortunately/unfortunately I think Barkley will get mauled tonight, the Giants O line will not only be bad IMO, but they are going up against one of the top D’s. It could be a blood bath.
