He's literally played 14 games in the NFL, 13 last season before he suffered what looked like a catastrophic injury/injuries to his hip/ankle? And just one this season, behind a completely new OL?
Think some of us need to take a little chill pill. |

The main argument against drafting them in the first round seems to be that you can always pick up a near-elite RB. It felt like that for a long time with the Chiefs. But now we're back in the Donnell Bennett dark ages. I want to see what Derrick Gore can do. He may not have elite measurables but he sure has vision and instincts. |

Dude,
People need to calm down, and understand running out of shotgun doesn't always work. I'd love to actually do PA this year, real play action. |

I don't care how many games he has or hasn't played or how new the OL is. A hole is a hole. Can you ****ing hit it hard and fast or not? And yeah, im a guy who was FIRMLY in the CEH corner before he was drafted. But he didn't run like this in college. My best guess is that he's thinking too damn much. |

That’s the one that was really complained about in the game thread. Every single Browns player is being blocked or has someone that’s going to block them. That should be an easy first down run and more. |

We had this argument on CEH vs. Taylor. I remember thinking Taylor's a better pure runner than CEH but CEH is a better fit for this team and this offense precisely because he's so well suited for the shotgun run game. The problem is that we're not seeing his skills translate to this offense the way we thought they would and at a point that becomes a concern. I think we can acknowledge that he's not the most physically gifted RB around and so he's gotta be a specific scheme fit to be an asset here. Thus far it's fair to wonder if he is. |

Yeah, the film room is going to be rough there. I assumed he’s still not 100%, but he’s got to be better.

I also wonder if he doesn't believe in himself. As in, he doesn't believe he has the speed to switch running lanes and pop those off on the outside.
Like a QB with a weak arm that refuses to throw into tight windows because he's afraid he doesn't have the control or power. |

Then he angles left, and sets up a block from the WR before he cuts back middle for a big gain. He just seemed to vapor-lock mid-run. But that thing was blocked up perfectly. |
