Our line is in bad shape, regardless, I just want to see if he flashes any talent. I want to know what our FO and scouts saw in the guy. Because the game I saw him play against WSSU he looked like poop.

the thing is he's been trying to get back in. he hasn't been allowed. i've seen several comments from him saying that he's just waiting on the word.

 

with otah, it was always him and essentially him just not "feeling right" but kugbila has just been chomping at the bit to get back in and active in as much as he was allowed.

 

glad he's finally getting put back in.

 

i think it had more to do with the OL doing so piss poorly that they are finally putting him back in rather than the cuts putting a fire under his arse.

i saw a lot after the pick was made to find out what it was and he looked pretty good. he was stronger than anyone and dominated whenever some D-player had the balls to try and take him on. quite often he was left without anyone to block because they avoided him and he had to look for someone to hit/throw around. i think he's quick/mobile enough for the job and definitely as strong as anyone he'd be facing.

 

he's raw for sure but he's got a solid base to build from. i saw quite a bit of improvement from one season to the next.

 

as far as being a roadgrader ......wow. if you were running the ball, you wanted to go where he was. i saw him fall to his knees at one point and still make a hole. in pass pro i thought he did well enough.

 

the thing i saw him really struggle with was against smaller and quicker players who could fake him out fairly easily. that can be coached up, though.

 

one thing that i also remember seeing was him trying cut blocks. it reminded me of a big fat walrus flopping on the ground. it wasn't particularly effective. he didn't really hit anyone. he just bought the backfield a little bit of time because it took so long for defenders to navigate over/around mt. kugbila.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
