I know it's early but how can you miss on a RB. Hell, Pierce and Slowby seems like they give us a better chance. Anybody concerned with Yeldon's play? Or the run game for that matter?

The offensive line is fixed.....

Yeldon is a bell cow like Slowby was last year.

We couldn’t do diddly poo offensively. We couldn’t make a first down. We couldn’t run the ball. We didn’t try to run the ball. We couldn’t complete a pass. We sucked.

The one position the Jags used to be able to scout well was RB. No more.

I’m totally embarrassed and totally ashamed. Our coaching did a horrible job. Our players did a horrible job. We got our a** totally kicked in the second half. That’s what it boiled down to. It sucked. It stunk.

Good lord.

Season is over. Anyone have some good draft talk? Let's head over to the college forms!

He is good. :thumbsup:

Meanwhile Karlos Williams is averaging 100 yards a game and has 3 TD's and he was drafted in the 5th round.

Not to the Jags.

Its clear we don't have transcendent RB's right now. And we have a bad line. Hopefully both will get better. But the combo of average RB's and below average line is really killing our running game.

 

Its also pretty clear to me that we don't value the running game like we used too. Bortles is what will make this offense go. If he can be good, than everything else will look better. You can't be a game-manager here in J-Ville, you have to elevate the guys cause we haven't hit on the majority of our picks since probably 2003.

 

It was discouraging to watch what I think is not a very good patriots defense basically shut us down. Not a good look.

LOL you are outta your mind if you think Yeldon is anything close to the problem here. He hasn't had very much room to even give him a fair assessment, but I lean toward him actually being good.

I was not a math major in college but 186 yards in 3 games seems to be below that average.

Don't give up on Yeldon yet. The O Line didn't run block well yesterday at all. The lame/predictable play calling doesn't help either.

I like the kid from LSU.

He's not eligible this year.

Probably. But there is definitely a problem running the ball. I almost feel like we should put Bowanko back in there to open up some running lanes. With Wiz we have traded a run game for a pocket. Pick your poision type scenario unfortunately.

They weren't doing either last year with Bowanko.

I think Bowanko definitely run blocks better than Wiz. Yeldon couldn't make it to the line of scrimmage without getting hit. He looked good in space the once or twice he made it through.
