He did a very good job with the holes the OL opened, which weren't always huge.

Here's a good example of this:
This was only a 5-yard gain, but it could have been a 2-yard loss.

As I've said before, the issue is just that CEH isn't worth the draft pick we had to spend on him. No argument there. But that doesn't mean that he's inherently bad. It just means he hasn't lived up to expectations. That's more on Veach than it is on Clyde.
Well in a way you're right. We top the list of most advanced offensive metrics so it's tough to say any particular offensive position "needs to be upgraded".
But, due to the way we run our offense, I'd like a more explosive back. Darrel is a career backup who is averaging 3.4 YPC while Clyde is underwhelming and appears to be injury prone.
Basically what I'm saying is I don't think our RBs are league average. [Reply]

I think even if he were a 3rd round pick we'd be disappointed. He's been given truck size holes to run through and is just barely putting up average numbers. A decent runningback would be thriving with the light boxes defenses throw at us and the line blocking the line has given us. [Reply]

CEH was ass in game 1.
He was good (his running was, fumbles be what they are) all the way till the Bills game in which the Oline was complete dog shit in the run game.
This is a busted, bullshit narrative.
Brace your anus for when CEH is your starting tailback again. [Reply]

Exactly how much explosion did Williams create if the guys he was changing directions on didn't even have to dive to get a hand on him and tackle him? He got arm tackled from the upper body. Explosion my ass. [Reply]
Darrel Williams became the first tailback in franchise history to record 9+ catches, 100+ receiving yards and a receiving TD in a single game ��https://t.co/u23tUQ2vJF

I'd bring him back in a heartbeat as excellent depth, he seems like a guy who knows where he fits in the pecking order, and won't be asking for the moon and stars... locker room sunshine, team guy etc etc [Reply]
