Clyde is being sold below guys on our practice squad (mOrE GOre!!). The Mayocks of CP are coming out of the woodwork to revisit the draft and the 'wasted' first round pick on a RB. He's slow. He's unathletic. He has no vision. He can't pass block. He completely sucks.
I'm not sold on this narrative.
Fumble was inexcusable but highly atypical. Guy has struggled with vision this year. But he flashed early last year. He's still figuring out this OL and the Chiefs are still figuring out how to use him in this system. He was named the MVP of the best college (spread) offense I think we might ever see. He has talent. Just needs to re-find his groove.
I'm not giving up on him as we've seen Reid do more with a lot less. And I think Clyde is primed to turn it up from here.
So, not a homer take. Just a take that's being less pessimistic after a difficult loss. Let this be a safe space for those who haven't given up on Clyde.
I was very wrong on CEH, even bought his jersey his rookie year before the season. It's crazy to think the only one RB out of that class who really did anything was Taylor. The knock on him was he had a lot of miles on him and even that showed up this year.
Pacheco looked really, really, good last week. He's finding his groove. Bengals don't have a stellar DL like JAX. That very well could be the key. Long drives, get the ball out of Mahomes's hand, opportunistic defense. The margin for error is small. [Reply]

The bengals have a better defensive line than the jags. Hendrickson, Reader, Hubbard etc. they’re really good up front. [Reply]
