I don't know how special this kid is yet, but he's a little spark plug. He runs with enthusiasm and intent.

He runs like every carry is his last. I dig it. Lets hope he catches lightning in a bottle.

As hard as he runs I'm not sure he's gonna last long.

Use the little fucker up. :-)

Dudes built like a rock.

I’m not crowning him based on last nights limited action, nor am I willing to poo-poo his potential

But the bottom line is he is our youngest, freshest, most dynamic back right now... and he deserves a much closer, in depth look to suss out his ceiling
[Reply]

He and Tyreek have identical bodies for sure with Tyreek being quicker and faster of course but DT ain't no slouch either.

With an injury history. Shady has it too. Good reason to split carries between the two.

so was MJD

he lasted about six years before brokedick status

we need to use this kid up fast because it's go time
[Reply]

To be fair, how many current running backs last that long besides a Frank Gore?
[Reply]

Andy has been load managing Shady for the stretch run. Expect to see more of him this week unless the O line shits the bed again. He looks fresh. He and Darwin could be a good 1-2 punch. Feels like the screen game has been missing, and Darwin could excel there. I like our line better in space.
[Reply]

The biggest advantage that Darwin has, IMO, is his smaller size. He literally doesn't need much of a hole to slip through. Or crash through, whatever. And since our OL is not run blocking that well, Darwin can make use of holes that our other backs just might not be able to get a shoulder into.

Love Tyreek's blocking on 27 here. Should have been some added hands to the face yards on 27 as well.

thanks for the gif up clay

Man, he looks a lot like Hunt out there.
[Reply]

Yes. The answer is yes.

Pick 2 for week 14:

James Conner, James White, Josh Jacobs, Darwin Thompson
