Two 1,000 yard running backs this year

I've said this elsewhere, but it kind of amazes me that a WR can reach the NFL level without being able to catch.

They just see 6'5 and 4.3 40 time. You can't teach those.

The genetic lottery.

Interesting you should say that he can’t catch.
#9 is a Rookie with 4 starts (only finished 2 games) Yet he’s beating Lazard in Catch rate %, TD’s per route, yards per target etc..

I guess that’s the mark of a really good player. When he seems so bad he shouldn’t make it into the NFL because he a inferior FCS draftee.

Here we are looking at a Rook rhat hasn’t finished 3 Starts and he’s already shredding Defenders that are battle tested at the NFL level (that came from FBS programs).
Imagine what will happen once he’s acclimated.

Will need to ramp Dillon up some more to have a chance at 1,000+
Jones is well on his way though.

We might actually see close to 2,000 rushing between the 2 RB’s If we don’t continue abandoning the run like we did through week 9

Just to be clear, I never said he couldn't catch. People often talk about various receivers who have all the tools but need to learn to catch. I was responding to that phenomenon. It's hard to believe someone can reach the NFL level without learning to catch.

ok I'm just backing away slowly (albeit with a weird look on my face)

I actually think Aaron Jones and Dillon might have relative success tonight. Our OL is playing much better while Bak is on that Field.
