Both RBs played well, and we were committed to the run game most of the game.  Playing from behind in the 4th made us move away from it a little bit.  

He just now has me curious and beginning to eat my words as I never believed in him before. I hope he continues to impress and prove me wrong about him.

He averaged like 5 YPC last season.  He’s a good RB.  I think a lot of fans just didn’t like him because we drafted him based on what Rhule’s wife said lol.

Chuba has always gotten too much hate. Likely due to the Rhule connection.

He's a weapon as a runner but a liability catching the ball out of the backfield. He looked good yesterday.

Yeah, he looked like a VERY GOOD weapon as a runner and definitely looked like he belongs on this team for sure! Catching maybe not so much but he definitely has value as a runner.

That was probably me. She sounds like she may be a much better scouter of talent than her husband.

Meh. He ran pretty good.   Not sure what they were thinking with Chuba on 4 and 2.  I really didn't see anything special that would make him anything more than the backup he is.

One big run (HUGE hole) one good run and the rest, meh.  I'm not sure one superbly blocked play is enough to say dude is all of a sudden a legit RB.

Chuba has always been underappreciated as a runner.  But I'm worried that his running style is a bit of a double-edged sword.  My impression of him is that he's a patient runner with pretty good vision, meaning he'll often be handed the ball, hesitate for a second while he scans for an opening, and then explodes through with pretty good burst.  That split second of hesitation worries me because if our run blocking isn't firing on all cylinders and creating holes, then he seems like the type of running back who is more prone to TFL behind the line.

      Give Legette another season?

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.

      Nah we just talking about giving a platform and normalizing predators (who both beat women) opinions and celebrating it if it fits your narrative.  If that's fun I'm fine being a miserable fug by not supporting P.O.S like that. N b4 you call me a libtard or some other dumb ish know I'm an Anarchist/Libertarian and believe both these dudes should get a complete ass whooping (at min) or something worse for what they have done to women in this world.
