I agree.  I think he's a better ball carrier than Sanders.  Decent vision and quickness for a 3rd guy.

I think Sanders played hurt last year. He was rehabbing his groin I believe before the season started. Regardless he has shown to be capable with a good OL like he had with the Eagles. If he is RB3 we might be ok there. Providing Brooks is contributing decent snaps this year.

I don't know.  I hope you're right.  In retrospect I think even my fat ass could have put up a couple hundred yards behind that Philly line.  They were absolute maulers in the run game.

That's why i'm not hyped on Brooks, seems like that same kinda finesse rb behind the texas line. I prefer punishers, wear the d-line down with punishment, not dancing around and finding a hole

I didn't pay too much attention to Brooks in college.  He wasn't a tackle breaker?

If he's skilled it won't matter what style he is IMO.  I never watched him play in college so I can't say.  Not really familiar with Texas as I only loosely follow college football.  I basically just watched all the Washington games last year lol.

Punishing backs reach retirement age around 27, so I'm not too upset if he can dance his way to thousands of yards.  As much as people hate him now, DeAngelo Williams was panned as a bad pick because of all the mileage in college.  But he had a very good, long productive career.

He can break some tackles but generally seems like he had wide open lanes to get momentum, I don't really see beast mode/Stewart level or anything

A lot of it looks effortless but that's a quick dude.  Everyone's quicker in the NFL so we'll see how it translates, but he is literally smoking everyone in those clips.

Thanks. It’s hard to knock him for it though. If there is a big hole you should take it. It will be interesting to see how he adapts to more tight spaces in the NFL.

yeah he's smooth but not much tape on adversity straight up punishing people

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By strato · Posted

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By Zaximus · Posted

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
