Jaguars Starting Running Back: Robinson V. Yeldon

#61

Quote:Based on his college stats (10 fumbles in 576 carries), he'll be among the league leaders every year in fumbles. He has a tendency to hold the ball out there when he runs.
 

Thank you. But im the clown. smh. Trolls.

If you think I offended you, don't worry, I meant to. #facts

Quote:MOJO was taken in the second round too. He didn't start for a number of years. Denard ain't no Freddie But may be able to hold him off for a couple games to start this season.


If Toby is healthy too I think he may be an opening day starter.
 

Now wouldn't that be something if we get a Fred/MJD combination out of Yeldon/Robinson?

If Barber could fix it, so can he.  But yes, that will be something to watch.

Quote:A lot of great backs did not have true top end speed. For example, Emmitt Smith.
 

That's who I think of when I consider Yeldon's strengths/weaknesses.

Eddie George is the best comparison I have seen and if he could have a career like that I would be more than happy

I would be interested to know how Fred Taylor and Mojo split carries in Mojo's early days.  Not that I would compare any of them as players- just interested in seeing how we worked out having a running back by committee.


DUUUUVVVVAAAAALLLLLL!

Feels like some people are really giving Yeldon a hard time. Pretty much since the second we took him in the second


Personally I think he's going to be fantastic. He has great vision, can catch and is a very good blocker. The frequent criticism about the lack to top end speed really doesn't seem that big of a deal. If you watched him in college his ability to gain 2-3 extra yard on practically every run is invaluable.

When it comes to Yeldon vs. D-Rob, I'm hoping for that One-Two punch while  Gerhart provides the short yardage opportunities along w/being our FB...

I too feel that Yeldon will have tremendous success an a Jaguar. As I watched some of his college highlights, he has superb vision and agility. Remember the Analytics that says he's the best back in the  2015 draft w/respect to vision...

Quote:I love that Robinson is on the team. Means Yeldon can get 5-10 less carries game while still having a speedster in there. Those touches by Robinson should help keep Yeldon fresh.
Exactly...

Dude was a beast when he arrived at Bama (behind their NFL OLine).  I think he still has it BUT I'm concerned about the 4.0 YPC but fully realize he was battling a nagging hammy.
