He is talking about “extending plays” I’m not sure why you are flexing on rushing yards….

One of the concerning things so far is that when he's tried to do this at the NFL level he's getting caught more often than not. He's definitely going to have to adjust to the faster overall defenses when it comes to his scrambling.

Without a doubt as any college player does. It will help when our OL plays better and he is avoiding one defender vs 2-3. He typically scrambles to look for the pass though which isn’t relevant to rushing yards. That was my point.

That's what I mean, he hasn't been able to do that like he did in college. Don't take pointless sacks trying to do it in the NFL.

I went back and watched a few of his college games. I think he just has to learn to be more decisive in the NFL, he’s a guy that’s not scrambling to run, but trying to buy time to push it down field. Has to learn that window is shorter in the NFL. He’ll make the adjustment.

I thought he’d be a bit better at extending plays because based on everything we heard about his work ethic etc he’d have shown up a big bigger, faster and stronger but nope 

It took Tua until year 3 to put on some weight and he talked about how much he hated doing it. Give the kid some time.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
