Howell still looks like Howell. Still running. Still dropping dimes. Does not look like a rookie. Still making chicken salad out of chicken poo. But damn, do the Commanders serve up some chicken poo. They look terrible and terribly undisciplined to boot.

24/35 for 280 and 1 TD, 8 carries for 62 yards

Everyone knows I'm a huge Howell fan but I'm honestly surprised how well his athleticism is translating. I really didn't know how his running would translate in the NFL. Well, it looks just like it did at UNC. Really strong and hard to tackle and sneaky fast once he's in the clear.

It’s criminal and fire worthy that fitt didn’t snag him up in the 5th.

I was told willis was to slow to run in the NFL... and to raw to much of a project.. Couldn't throw.. 

The speed may have been disproven, it remains to be seen if he can throw and he's definitely still a project..... He's still a backup unless Tannehill gets hurt...  I'd say in a redraft he's up to about a 2nd rounder... But not the 6th overall you wanted him at.

Willis with a real nice half…

12/16 - 88 yards - 1 TD

4 carries - 79 yards

167 total yards

 

Those are pretty good numbers but Willis is no where near ready to run an offense.  Too often he is looking to run.  I've been able to see him in his preseason games thanks to AFN and he'r a runner first. Too many times he is looking to run.

I think Ridder is looking the best out of the rookies.  Fortunately for him he was given plenty of Reps and it shows.  Our rookie was given the opposite.

He’s for sure looking to run but I think a lot of it has to do with the OL. Specifically yesterday, the Cardinals were feasting in the backfield. The difference is that Willis is used to that kind of pressure and can escape it. Stat wise, Liberty’s OL was the second worst OL in college football last year.

He’s also drastically improved in just three weeks of game action.

    • Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.
    • I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.  
    • I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
