Some fun here. Edwards-Helaire rushed for 1,415 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior .. all-purpose yards -- receiving (55 receptions, 453 yards) and kick returner (KEY) 10 returns, 214 yards pic.twitter.com/3Duq1jjy6J
Holy offense Bat Man. I love Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He is best Rb in the draft. Watkins and Hill deep. Kelce in the middle. And Edwards-Helaire underneath. Good Luck defenses.
Brett Veach told Andy Reid to watch some Clyde Edwards-Helaire film and told Reid you’ll see Brian Westbrook. Reid watched. Then got back to Veach and said he’s better than Westbrook.

And CEH was averaging over 8 before he had a few clock killing runs at the end… [Reply]

Besides, he's such a nice dude. You can't really hate Clyde.
This.
Even if you think “hey, we shouldn’t have drafted a RB in the 1st,” he’s a legitimately good guy and he’s producing as he should. No idea why anyone would actively dislike him. [Reply]

I disagree.
You don't draft a 5'8", 207lbs power back in the 1st round. If CEH doesn't make people miss, then he isn't worth drafting in the 1st round. You don't draft a RB in the 1st round nowadays unless they are a game changer.
CEH is playing better, running harder now. That's good, but he isn't dominating anything. He isn't really even making anyone miss. He has started breaking arm tackles, though. [Reply]

So he’s not making anyone miss but he’s breaking arm tackles? You’re a moron. [Reply]
Can't complain today, the line opened holes and he exploited them... and boy did they open some holes, you could literally drive a truck through many of them [Reply]

That's not a good reason. You give William's that canyon towards the end zone and he scores. Clyde weak dick gets knocked down. Williams is better or as good. Clyde is not 1st rounder worthy. No back is. [Reply]
Wondering how much of it was Clyde the first couple weeks, and how much was the line just not quite ready for primetime. He looked like a completely different back today. Hit holes fast, broke tackles, didn't go down easy. Getting in the passing game, too. He's a pretty good complement to what the offense does, and it was very clear today he's the most talented back on the roster and it's not close [Reply]
Only complaint I have for Clyde is on that 2nd and short run late in the game where he made like 2 jump cuts to his left and started dancing instead of just powering it through for the easy first down. Hes not the only one that does that shit though. Kelce does that shit all the time where he'll catch a ball near the first down marker and try to evade a tackle by running backwards and not get the first down. Hill does it too.
