Aw, crap... Ajayi is in Watkins-land

On a great but crowded offense, will probably be productive per-touch ROS, but no guaranteed workload. In both cases, their new teams gave up decent draft equity too! Frustrating...

The knee was down, terrible tackling nonetheless.

Prescott is a solid QB, though I agree that many QB's of his caliber would have similar results in Dallas.

I would agree that the hype around Dak was overboard last year, but he is a good QB with a lot of potential. To say he was overrated while not also describing the entire Cowboys passing game as overrated is a mistake. Last year the Cowboys O-line/running game was so dominant, it masked the weaknesses of the passing game. I know many in these forums still view Bryant as elite, he isn't. He has not been truly elite for a long time. Witten is simply old and slowing(never fast) down. The remaining receivers are medicore at best. The reality is the Cowboys need to seriously address their receiving corps this offseason.

Wow, McCarthy really threw Devante Mays under the bus after the game. Tough way to start a career, but he is only a rookie and for the coach to say that after the game, it was very unprofessional. This is especially true because he doesn't hold Hundley accountable for anything.

Think the concern will be him gaining weight during the down time. Came into last camp out of shape and won't be able to do cardio on a bad wheel but maybe learned something and will be better about it.

Players recover from these types of injuries much better and faster nowadays.

When a team puts up a 50+ the #1 WR on that team better put up numbers.. Just saying.
Positive regression but if you watched the game he looked awesome and the timing with Rivers was perfect. Hard to dismiss 12 catches out of 13 targets.

Was bound to happen after facing some of the top secondaries and finally getting a good matchup this week. There are a few more good ones lined up down the stretch.

I know. And see how incredible he looked when given the reigns?
He wasn't any more effective in this game than Miller until he broke off that 34 yard run and subsequently got hurt on the play. I will give him props for finally showing up in the receiving part of the box score, though. He's been a huge liability on passing downs to this point.

Going to have to disagree with you. I said he looked incredible when given the reigns, which happened in the 2nd half. Take away his 34 yard run and he was still out gaining Miller.

Lamar Miller...2.8 YPC....Foreman looked really good in this game and to me, is a closer RB...and he did just that.

Shame

With the injury being so late in the season, I have this feeling that we wont see him do anything till 2019 now.

People are reading an awful lot into a player who got a whopping 10 carries and looked good but not great.

Reading too much into such a small sample size is how you get stuck investing in guys like Joseph Randle.

Now with a torn achilles as an RB - you have to question his future overall.

Lamar Miller is no DeMarco Murray, but the situation in Houston is not all that dissimilar to that in Tennessee. Now coming off the injury, it's hard to see Foreman breaking out in 2018. It may take him some time to get back to form.

Which is disappointing. I drafted him and have held onto him patiently knowing '17 wouldn't be his season to shine. Then I got excited yesterday watching his points total climb - until I got the tweet he had torn his Achilles. Ugh. Holding for the long haul now.
