I dont see how he is relevant this year with both Gore and Drake to hurdle .
And, a good way to not get on the field as a rookie RB is to be awful at pass protection.
He'd been praised in pass protection until the recent screwup. Seems like Ballage can't stop making rookie mistakes.
well, he is a rookie.

and tannehill is the last person that should be lambasting a player for making a mistake. that guys blows chunks of jag.

Everything has been pretty minor at this point. The fumble can be corrected, getting thrown out of the huddle is whatever, and the concussion should hopefully not last that long. I think he showed last week that he is capable of producing at a high level.

Agreed. None of the recent news is bothersome. A QB on his last legs in Miami taking out his frustrations/fears on a rookie so he can look like a big man/leader. Looked decent in game 1 of the preseason.

What part of him trying to jump over a player and causing his own fumble looked decent? lol

I'm not going to pretend I'm an NFL caliber talent evaluator but I think Ballage checks enough boxes as a fantasy 2nd round pick to be optimistic about him. He's got the size 6'3, 230ish, and has surprising good hands for a bigger RB. If he doesn't fumble the ball on the hurdle, it's a highlight. He completely cleared the defender. He's a rookie trying to make a big play. I like the attitude. Good situation as Gore or Drake will not play a full 16 games. No real clear impact this year, but maybe he can transition into T. Coleman type value in future years. He put together multiple decent runs, falls forward.

I assume that is why they are called rookie mistakes. I'd be more concerned if it was a 4 year player making rookie mistakes. :ewink:

I'm not that high on Ballage myself, but I just got him at #25 overall in a rookie draft, so I think thats a safe price. 8-)
Please speak to clarion contrarion before considering the use of vetos..
