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.

He is going to grade out a lot better with his coaches than he apparently grades out with some folks here.
Yeah, I agree. While he did make some errors, they were few and far between. I thought he did decent for what was given. And he should only get better. [Reply]

I thought they ran one screen against Cleveland and it got blown up. Or am I not remembering correctly? [Reply]

I like him but he needs some work but doesn't get handoffs much.
When he got to the line, Fortson had the block on that defender. Now, it appeared to be a block and release but either way, that didn't appear to be CEH's assignment. He was looking for a LBer or DB to block. By the time he realized the defender Fortson was blocking was getting loose, it was too late. [Reply]

Trust is a big thing with Andy. They were very vocal that they didn't feel Damien took his rehab seriously in 2019 and could have returned much earlier than he did. He, in my opinion, was our offenses' X-factor in the postseason (even over Watkins) simply because defenses simply had no resources for him by trying to blanket Reek and Kelce and Damien truly made it count (did in 2018, too). His blocking out of the backfield was also clutch in January.
It wouldn't surprise me if after 2020, they wanted guys they could fully trust would suit up each Sunday. It's clear they value his skillset, though - as McKinnon basically has his exact skillset (injury history, too). [Reply]
