RB free agency and rookie landings spots

[Payton]

Both are great.

Sorry I'm short, and I'll happily expand on it later this evening..work sucks today, my raiders fucked the dog last night, my Cowboys proceeded to kick me while I'm down, then the Chiefs make the ONLY RB I literally blacked out as a bust becuase the film I watched showed a back that couldn't run between the tackles, missed multiple pass protections, and wasnt exactly hard to bring down when he did get in the open...as the first back taken..its been a shitty 24 hours, and I was so looking forward to it. So yeah, I'm a lil cranky

I'm hungry... and at work... LOL!

We all good! Was hoping I wasn't going to be black-balled from future discussion! (Again, what am I going to do when Pittsburgh drafts Cam Akers? ).

Speaking of highlight videos, had to laugh during the Lamb selection.
Almost certain the first clip showed him jogging downfield uncovered.
This is a highlight? Wow. What a skill set.

He was playing against Big 12 defenses so uncovered is probably a normal thing

 

[SteelersPride]

Ah, clarification... Led all of this years draft eligible RBs in the category is what it said.

Edwards-Helaire leads NFL Draft in broken tackles

Anyway, as a Bear fan I definitely see how the stat can translate. Montgomery didn't have a stellar year, but our offense was trash. Hardly his fault. However, he certainly excelled at fighting for extra yards.

ahh nice. I knew there was a small caveat to it, but he was up there. Thanks for that. Well showed me something.....i was very very down on CHE, and vocal about it, so lets see

the pgh folk are clamoring for dobbins of taylor.........pgh also has video with taylor FWIW, seems to be trending that way unfortunately.

 

[SteelersPride]

I don't do highlight videos, theres no context as to game flow, score, situation, everyone looks great in highlight bids..that's why they're highlight bids. Ameer Abdullah has perhaps the best highlight video I've ever seen outside of Bo Jackson, and his career has been a waste, outside of special teams

bingo.....

Its all a smoke screen!

there is nobody better than Andy Reid at recognizing offensive talent and I trust him more than any draft "expert" or any of us.......does it really matter who plays running back in that system because they are going to be successful no matter what......I honestly don't think he really cares that much about his running ability because it's not like he's ever going to change his offensive philosophy and start running the ball more.

Chiefs lead back = RB1 production in fantasy

it was true before Reid, and has been very true with him.

sometimes it hasn't been the guy we thought it would be, but the production is always there, year in year out

Because I was curious. These are Reid's rankings per ProFootball Reference:

So RB1 Production is often times theres, often times its more Rb2 production.. And I would say that it does matter who it is running the ball. Shady, Charles and Hunt seemed to be better on average than say Westbrook, who did have some good seasons, some f'n great single weeks...I fondly remember a few myself)..but from what I see there, he can polish a turd pretty decently, but even for Reid, a turd isnt gold

But 3 of those years were with Vick at QB. In 2010 Vick had 100 rush attempts by himself. 2011 he had 76 rush attempts. 62 att in 2012.

and those are team stats, ranking against other team stats, not individuals

even if they were 16th in team rushing, they could have easily had 1 guy be in the top 12, pending various injuries and what not

 

[Stomp]

Here's a good breakdown of CEH if anyone is interested


They also have cut ups of some of his other games without the analysis if anyone is interested

He was my favorite pick in this years draft when I thought he would be available in the mid first at 1.01 not so much

Oh no doubts, they could've, those numbers are just a simple first step into investigating it...but there is already some semblance of a pattern.
Reid is an evil genius at scoring point offensively, I'll never argue otherwise, but its arguable as to wether that always translates to fantasy gold at RB...PPR gold quite possibly..but would have to delve into it a little deeper to say one way or the ither

 

[Barilko]

@TREFF are you telling me I don't have to select him 1.1 in dynasty1.... he will fall to 1.4? Lol

which is why i would have traded for 1.4 but you got it first

 

[Payton]

Buh bye Kerryon

 

[TREFF]

Buh bye Kerryon

I imagine they'll let him hang around for awhile, but, hell be an afterthought on game day!

 

[Payton]

Shame really. Typically looked good when healthy...

 

[Stomp]

Hopefully he still gets enough touches to keep them both healthy. I'd like to see Kerryon still get the change of pace and clock killing(when necessary often hopefully ) duties 8 - 15 touches a game

I think he's gonna hang around enough to piss off Swift owners
