"You get into a rhythm. And all good running backs, they need that rhythm."

Conner has yet to get into that rhythm after that 1st game, hence why he doesn't get more carries. I'm sure the carries would come more often if he was getting more than 1-3 yards per carry. It's all about how Conner starts.

Rushing in 1st quarter:

vs. Browns - 10 rushes, 22 yards
vs. Chiefs - 2 rushes , 0 yards
vs. Bucs - 4 rushes, 1 yard
vs. Ravens - 4 rushes, 8 yards

Rushing in 2nd quarter:

vs. Browns - 3 rushes, 24 yards
vs. Chiefs - 1 rush, 3 yards
vs. Bucs - 2 rushes, 8 yards
vs. Ravens - 2 rushes, 6 yards

There's two reasons why he doesn't get the ball more. Our defense can't stop opposing offenses and when he does get the ball, he hasn't been able to do anything with it the last 3 games.

he hasnt been good

No he hasn't been good at all. He's been quite the disappointment, in my opinion.

But according to some people, he's fine. It's the OCs fault he can't get any yardage when he gets the ball. That's on Fich. Totally not Conner's fault.

If those 1, 2, 3 yard runs were 5, 6, 7 yard runs, I'm sure he'd get the ball more.

His ypc is over 4 in those 3 games.

I'll take 4 ypc. Why won't you?

 

[Yo Tee]

Because it's not 4 ypc. 32 rushes for 97 yards combined against the Chiefs, Bucs and Ravens, which is barely 3 ypc. Also, he averaged 2 ypc in 2 of those games.

Bc it’s skewed greatly by one game

 

[SteelersPride]

Then again kamara was avg 3.2 ypc first three games as well and exploded game 4 now his ypc is 4.7, doesn’t tell the whole story

Still, Conner has been a disappointment 3/4 of the season so far to me. I'm not hoping he stays this way, I'm just grading him right now.

Yeah I agree I mean gameflow and line injuries play a part so I’m willing to cut him some of a break. But he needs to do better ,period.

Fact is, his per touch average is over 4. Excluding the first game even.

Randy admitted he wasn't giving him the touches he needed.

 

[Superbelt]

He got 8 and 9 touches in those two games. The sample size was ridiculously small.

And as a RB wears down a D, he starts racking up chunks of yards. He didn't get that opportunity outside of the 1st game.

ok take the glasses off bud.......3 of 4 games its not 4

Him not getting the ball enough doesn't change the following facts:

He's had 14 carries of either no gain or a loss of yardage
He's had 36 carries of 5 yards or less
He's only had 6 carries of 10 yards or more, 4 of which came against the Browns and the other 2 were during the 4th quarter against the Bucs
6 of his rushing attempts in the last 2 games have been for a loss of yardage

'Take away his long rushes'

And 36 caries of 5 yards or less is a pretty big range. 5 yards is very good. 4 yards is very good. 3 yards is still good.

@Superbelt

i see what ur saying, i do. BUt i also see tw0 games at sub 2ypc, yes not many touches, but you cant keep feeding him in games where u need to score , to hope he gets it going, he has to keep it going........his overall YPC is 3.68 including all games and his long runs, THATS NOT GOOD. He has potential, no doubt, he needs to be better.

 

[Cali Steel]

Saw they offered him 47 mil for 3 yrs...…..
Yeah, I would say fuck that shit as well...…..

New reports suggesting the guarantees were north of $20m. Which is exactly what Todd Gurley got.

Can't see why anyone wouldn't feel incredibly sorry for his horrible situation.....

And of course, said with tongue firmly implanted in cheek....

Taking away his long rushes are only taking away 6 rushing attempts. 105 of his yards have come from 6 carries.

Also, when doing my stats last night, I wasn't even factoring in the rushes for losses of yardage.

2 rushes of -4 yards
2 rushes of -3 yards
2 rushes of -2 yards
3 rushes of -1 yards
5 rushes of no gain
9 rushes of 1 yard
9 rushes of 2 yards
8 rushes of 3 yards
6 rushes of 4 yards
3 rushes of 5 yards

That's 49 of his 63 rushes this year. 77% of his rushes can be summed up with these stats. I mean, come on now. I personally like my RBs to do a lot better than this when given the ball. I'm fine with a 4ypc average, which he's currently not averaging, but he's gotta get better at making things happen when he gets the ball.

If at the end of the day his average YPC is still greater than 3.5-4yds then I'm happy. He's averaging more yards per carry than Leonard Fournette, Alex Collins, David Johnson, Jordan Howard, Derrick Henry and Carlos Hyde (to name a few). He's doing just fine. Once the entire offense finds a better balance he'll start raking in the yards once again.
