He’s also not gonna survive taking hits like he did tonight.  He finishes runs like a back.  He’s not Cams size

I don't see it being sustainable regardless of size. The hits are accumulative.

41 pass attempts and 16 rushes? If they want to compete for the championship they need to get Henry going. You signed a workhorse back let him work.

that Xavier Worthy had a real nice debut game.  Much like preseason, Andy Reid's gameplan is to design touches for the young player to get him involved in his O early. 

 

I mean real real nice debut, I’m hoping for half of that production from XL even a little less but definitely something.

I guess my real point is, it's not so much Worthy.....it's a staff that wants to ensure he is involved.  Which you saw in the preseason.   His first touch of the game is the best example.  

Think that will be a big part of why XL gets criticism.  Saw it the preseason.  Reid would have got the ball  XLs hands.  100%.

I think he let the criticism of the AFC CG go to his head. He probably should've finished runs more aggressively in that game but the playoffs are a different beast. You have to manage the risk in the regular season. 3rd down in the 4th quarter of a close game? Okay, maybe now is the time to roll the dice. 1st and 10 in the 1st quarter? Calm down. Get down or get OB.

I was just listening to Cam on Shannon Sharp and Ochocinco’s podcast discussing how he let all the noise of him “not jumping on the fumble” fuel him in 2016 into that play where he chased down the DB in San Diego after the goal line interception and injured his shoulder (to dispute the lack of effort claims) - and the rest is history.

You are probably spot on here, athletes get obsessed and fueled by talk and fighting down narratives much to their detriment at times.

Jackson needs to let it go and just play his game.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol

      Uh oh, Nicole Tepper hugged him. In all seriousness though every time I see more about him my hopes get higher. Smart, great attitude, prototype size and measurables, and athletic. He could be a great one.
