You're selling Kyren short. Kyren turns plenty of plays where there isn't a lot there into positive gains due to his vision and patience. His lack of long speed is a real weakness, as is his fumbling. But he's a good player and does a lot of things that aren't flashy that keep the offense functioning. Do I wish he had 4.3 speed? Sure I do. But if he did, he wouldn't have been available when we drafted him.
Saquon hasnt done shit this year, and has turned 10 yard runs into -2 yards. To be fair 20% of his yards and Tds came from our dumbass run defense last year , or should I say what defense?
Good point. But right now Kyren is our number one running back by a wide margin. That’s not likely to change this year so I prefer to include what he brings to the table along with his occasional backbreaking fumbles.
We all hope this will be the case but you’re basing this statement on what exactly?
Dayum! I’m surprised he even made it four years with that many fumbles.
You are mostly speaking to McVay's shitty RZ offensive play calls. McVay's teams have historically struggled in the RZ so being that he's the one constant, I put the majority of the blame on him in that department. Put any of those backs in our backfield that were mentioned and they'd have better stats than Kyren. However the reality is that Kyrenis our RB1 but needs to take care of the damn ball and we should sprinkle in the other backs as well.
17' = 17th
He would be perfect to do that since he did have a fumble problem in his first 5 years, then became a non-fumble beast!
Multiple times a game he turns in a TFL or a no gain play into positive yards. Sometimes a three yard run can be very impressive..
Well honestly McVay needs to adjust if the o-line is the issue. Throw a screen maybe? Use 12 personell? I'm just spit balling here but he needs to figure out what teams are attacking and have a good counter or sucker them in somehow. Would love to see Ferguson used down in the RZ as I can't imagine it wouldn't hurt anything. Also I think its extremely hard to compare lines vs our while also not taking into account who the playcaller is. There have been runs where Kyren could score IF he had speed. I'm confident that a Gibbs Saquon or even Taylor would make this offense way more explosive. Henry, I'm not necessarily big on honestly because he's closer to falling off a cliff than the others. I also keep saying this only because I'm tooting my own horn about being right lol....but if we were going to start over at RB this past off season, my number 1 guy was Judkins in this past draft. He looks good for a shitty Browns squad. Poor guy gonna play for a losing squad. I just hope our running back room in general just improves across the board. Any improvement is honestly welcomed anywhere on this team.
Must be o'line because we cant score for shit! Our RB's and WRs are out blocking our entire o'line and TE's. Right about mcvay sure, but also im correct in speed guys not meaning shit if they cant do anything. Some of these lines they are in, are way better than ours and Stats are basically the same as Kyren with a weaker o'line. Imagine if we had a top 5!
