Interesting tidbit on mikegoods fumbling habits: I spoke with one of his former college coaches, who only worked with him for one year, about his fumbling prob. The guy thought very highly of MG but when I brought up fumbling as an issue hi reaction was kinda funny. He pretty much said that they had tried everything with the kid, even duct taping a bunch of football's to him.

I hope for Goodson's sake he can fix the problem, but keep in mind this won't be the first staff to highlight it as a problem and try different things to correct it. I don't think this staff will give him much time. IMO there needs to be a significant amount of touches between fumbles if he hopes to be a contributor.

goodson needs to play the kevin faulk role. 3rd down receiving RB. limited carries, but targeted often in the passing game.

Kevin Faulk is clutch as hell though, and has never had a fumbling problem. Goodson has been the opposite. If these fumbles keep up throughout the preseason, I'd cut my losses and get rid of him. The coaching staff will keep him around for now though because hes young, and comes with a modest cap hit.

I am not sure about judgments from the next preseason game but I will tell you this, if he fumbles throughout this season he needs to sit. Because of his talent he should be tested again after that and then a final decision should be made. New contract should not even be in the conversation.

To note, Peterson never really got over his fumbling problem. Now, he just doesn't fumble as much. So you say well how is it he is still playing and no one talks about it, Peterson is super star talent and he makes up for it in a game. Goodson is not at that point and really, and probably won't be, it's a hard level to reach and not many can make up for it.

what plays/games makes you think he isn't clutch?

I don't really think it's a relevant question just yet, because when has he needed to be clutch? however, the dude did get to make his case as a legitimate RB in the NFL and put up over 100 yards on both starts.. the 1st to do it out of all our RB's last year..

now the fumbles.. yeah, that's going to be an issue.. I'll wait to see how this season plays out..

tiki coldn't hold onto the rock either but adjusted his grip and fixed his problems and became one of the best backs in the league right before he retired.

goodson is too good to let go. better coaching than the received last year should fix his problems this year. i blame it on the offseason situation that it hasn't been fixed yet. it just showed up in preseason 1, it will be fixed by preseason 4.
