Elijah Hood claimed off waivers

camp body? I don't get to see too much UNC football (am stuck in SEC country) so what do ya'll think of this move? Does he have a chance of unseating CAP, or is that not his "style" of running?

I see zero reason why he can't compete with Fozzy or CAP.

This is a fantastic move. I wrote about this in the other thread but Hood has a ton of talent. He was off and on hurt at UNC which really seemed to hurt his draft stock, further he came out in a loaded RB class when he really could have used an extra season in school. 

Throw in the fact that this guy is PS eligible and sign me up, his upside is that he could be our back of the future next to CMC.

A seventh-round pick in the 2017 draft, Hood spent most of his rookie year on the Raiders' practice squad. He did dress for one game but only played eight special teams snaps in a Week 8 loss at Buffalo.

More than that.

Easily could outcompete Fozzy; toe to toe with CAP

    • I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.
    • Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
