Mike Goodson's fumbling problem

On the other hand, Goodson is our best receiver out of the backfield. He should stick to that row, and not carry the ball much, at least for now.

Fumbling on a screen is as bad as fumbling on a run.

Time to move on.

The problem with consciously resolving a fumbling problem is it slows you down.

I noticed that there was separtation between the ball and his rib pads a lot when he runs. That is not a good thing. If you do the math going back to last season, he is fumbling about every 40 touches. Do we want him on the kickoff return team?

Fumbling is fixed through coaching and a player wanting to fix it. Completely a mental thing

I am not so sure it's mental. As MHS pointed out, he runs with the ball away from his body. He's a good 3rd down back, but this problem worries me and is why I wanted to see us keep DWill.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.

      If the Canes don't bring back Tyson Jost or Jack Roslovic, is Tanner Jeannot an option? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/06/senators-expected-to-show-interest-in-tanner-jeannot.html
