I defended him last week, but something is not right with him. Looks like he is running through sand. Time to bench him and let McKinnon run more or even elevate Gore from the PS. We need someone with burst. That pitch play that was wide open until slow ass CEH got two yards or whatever was awful. [Reply]
I don't think I'm ready to put him on the trash pile just yet. I'm going to give him a bit of a pass for last year without OTAs and such. I'm also going to give him a bit of a pass for the 1st 2 games this year. A lot of a RB's success is based on timing his cuts with the holes the OL makes for him. Our O-line hasn't had time to get all that worked out yet. Now if we're having this discussion Week 9, that may change my opinion. [Reply]

Veach's early round draft classes have been average at best. That's not how you extend a dynasty.
That's simply not true. Our early rounds have been very good considering CEH is the only first round pick veach has ever made. We've drafted very well considering our first pick tends to be in the mid to late second round. [Reply]
Probably. Some guys just aren't meant for the NFL. At this point, CEH is the Tim Tebow of running backs. Except Tebow probably has had the better NFL career. [Reply]

Running the ball isn’t that complicated.
There isn’t a 2-3 year learning curve.
Receive handoff, use instincts, find hole, run.
Oh, and protect the football at a crucial point in the game at all cost. [Reply]
