Mike Davis ended up only averaging 42 yards per game.

Chuba Hubbard waits for the right moment to move forward, even if it isn’t following his lead blocker. 

Hubbard was an All-American at Oklahoma State who totaled 2,094 yards and 21 touchdowns on 328 carries, averaging 6.4 yards per rush. What he showed on tape was fluid hips and the ability to find the right gap

The article as 2 excellent videos showing Hubbard's ability to read blocks and defense openings.

Can we really hit on ALL these rookies?  By “all” I’m referring to first 3 rounds and Chuba.

I’ll buy a Fitterer jersey, No… I’ll get a Fitts tattoo,  if Horn, Marshall, Christensen, Tommy-knocker and Chubba all become meaningful contributors/starters for this team.

Hitting in the 3 rounds is doable.  We have done it before. 

High odds a lot of those in rounds 4-7 never do much.

I think it is easier to hit on a rookie on a rebuild team because they get to see the field and show what they can do.  If we weren't rebuilding, some of these guys would have to displace an established vet and would never see the field.  I don't think Chinn would have had as many tackles of Luke didn't retire.

I really do think Fletcher and Nixon and UDFA Moore have legitimate chances to contribute.  Shi and Taylor have tougher roads cause the WR and CB rooms are getting crowded.

It's highly unlikely we hit on more than about 3. If we get something like a 50+% hit rate, that would be best draft class in franchise history discussion.

      Canales' O - Year 2

      By strato · Posted

      Tell me something I don’t know. I said right there in what you quoted I wasn’t optimistic. I said I could still be hopeful. Which ain’t the same but will have to do.  I have optimism regarding more compartmentalization aspects of the team. Some players. The good draft we had is cause for optimism. Maybe that Tepper is actually being less harmful. Maybe.  I had some for Canales but his meter is about 50% right now with me.  Etc

      Canes vs Ducks 7pm

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Got a little more juice in us this period. Gotta get these chances to start falling. Ducks and us keep getting these chippies that are missing. First team to start banging these in and I think the floodgates open.

      S Fowler Coker in, Legette out as wr2

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      The things that make people give up on him is that he is getting worse in terms of simple football things and he isn't improving on much in terms of being a WR. He has improved his drops but then he has increased his insanely boneheaded penalties. I mean, the dude has THREE false start penalties. That is the second most on the team.  Couple that with his obvious limitations in terms of field vision, agility, etc and you just start to wonder what there really is to even believe in. I'll put it this way, when such a notoriously terrible personnel management coach like Canales gives up on you, that's saying a lot. He has ridden more bums for longer than any of us care to remember.
