Re: Playoff discussion
I agree, both looked very average as runners early on, they both really came in hot to finish the season and hopefully can keep these bellow roles going into next season. Would like to see them both get 3-4 targets a game as well.

Re: Playoff discussion
I have no idea who you’re referencing, but if the argument was to pass on Taylor because he’d struggle and you’d be able to buy him this off-season, that argument was hilariously, demonstrably incorrect.Sriracha wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 7:56 pmBrutalOhCruelestRanter wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:40 pm Cam Akers really was a steal at his 3rd round rookie draft price.
I'll give him some credit, though.. it's clear that two of the most talented 2nd round RBs in this draft class needed to learn a few things before they took off. JT struggled to start the year, and Akers looked bad in week 1. Talent + Hard work looks like it's won out for those two, though.
CEH is the only RB that I think you can get for cheaper now than you could pre-season. It’s hard to say Akers struggled- dude had a rib injury.

Unfortunately I think this guy just rubs NFL coaches, scouts, and front office types the wrong way. I’d like to see it because he has the talent, but who do you think gives him a feature back job at this point? The Jets?

I don't think that Rib injury was a true deterrence; otherwise he wouldn't have gotten so much work in garbage time... and he definitely looked bad in week 1.
In any case, he's probably landed the largest role of any of the rookie RBs in his offense and is looking like a bell cow on a run first team with a top O-line (who'd have thought that given all the flack they got this off-season for not addressing their O-line issue?)
Almost like he was a highly regarded highschool recruit, who tested well at the combine and performed at a high level in college despite one of the worst O-lines in NCAAF?

Re: Playoff discussion
Tennessee has become my favorite non-hometown team. However, my prediction is that Baltimore absolutely rolls them today. Whichever team takes control early can make this a blood bath and I just don’t see how Tennessee will have anything to slow down Baltimore’s offense right now.

Re: Playoff discussion
I think people over exaggerate “character issues”. Fournette was playing on a rookie deal for a floundering and poor Jaguars team that probably wasn’t going to pay him or aligned with his best interests. When you think of Fournette sliding last night to stay in bounds and keep the clock running it gives you a larger sense that Fournette is actually not a selfish player. On the contrary, I think he is most satisfied when he is a part of a teams success and I think thats where the relationship with the Jaguars eroded. He is a competitor. I think his behavior would only rub a losing coach, scout, and front office the wrong way. But he could very easily go to Pittsburgh, SF, or return to TB and be solid. Maybe even Baltimore if Gus Edwards walks. That would give Baltimore a very Chubb/Hunt like RB duo. I think there will be plenty of opportunity.jman3134 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 9:52 pmTampa if Rojo gets hurt.OhCruelestRanter wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 9:34 pm132 from scrimmage, 4 catches, and a TD against a decent Washington defense is solid.The Godwin Complex wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 9:10 pm I can’t wait for Fournette to re-emerge next season.

Baltimore would rough, sharing the load with Dobbins. Pittsburgh is interesting. I’d be surprised if SF is interested.

Re: Playoff discussion
I think it is probably unfair to use the front office of Jax as indication that he rubs all NFL decision makers the wrong way. I have heard nothing out ot Tampa that leads me to think he's not doing everything he is asked. Things absolutely went south in Jax and he clearly was part of that, I just don't believe he was all of that.OhCruelestRanter wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 7:29 am
