Yup the RB I wanted in last years draft
Back to back 200 yard rushing games
Only Rick Williams, OJ Simpson (2 times) and Earl Campbell ever did it
I wanted Tevin Coleman, Ajayi, or David Johnson.
Instead we got Yeldon.
What we have seen all year is terrible run blocking and bad play calling. T.J. Yeldon looks worse than he is because of the five guys in front of him and offensive scheme. Obviously in 20/20 hindsight we can wish David Johnson was the pick but even he would go nowhere with no holes to run through. Running backs are only as good as their offensive lines.

We have Chris Ivory, who led the AFC in rushing last year. No one can have success behind this line besides Barry Sanders.
Yeldon is ok I guess, but sometimes he goes down to the slightest arm tackle. Also, he doesn't have that "2nd gear" so he can't really run away from a defense. All in all we took a decent committee back in the early 2nd round. Bravo.
Ajayi was my guy until the reports came out that he basically has no knee cartilage right before the draft. He's a time bomb like Beanie Wells unfortunately, but a good one til that happens.
Ajay runs angry. Yeldon runs like a fairy.
LOL I drafted him and dropped in like week 2 or something.....I hate myself sometimes

Best Dutch football(American) player of all time?

Yeldon is slow. Too slow to be a full time running back in this league.
Johnson by far the best. I liked Jay but like someone mentioned, I understand seeing him as a medical red flag. Still have high hopes for Yeldon, I think his balance is special, but dude has gotta hit the hole and go.
He rode my fantasy bench up until last week.

Gurley is still the best back in last years draft but on a horrible offense that cant run block. If Johson was on the Rams he would look just as bad or worse than Gurley

Meaning a Dutch immigrant who plays in the NFL? That guy is obviously Morten Anderson, who ended his very long career as the NFL's all-time leading scorer. Yes, I am aware he missed a 30-yarder in 1996, but that's one kick out of thousands.

Andersen is from Denmark.
Quote:Me too, and Robinson.
Are you doing bad like I am? I think I'm 2-5 or something.

I'm 6th out of 10 with a... 4-3 record? Not bad, but very average.
