Quote:I know from a statistical, yards-per-carry standpoint, it's not good, but those were some of the toughest 70 yards you'll see a running back pick up.  It seemed like play after play, he had no room to run, but would still get three or four yards out of absolutely nothing, and they were timely, valuable yards.  It helped us get into a better position on third down, rather than constantly being third and long, which might've been the case last year in the same situation without Yeldon.

 

Having said that, am still a Shoelace fan, like the component he gives us with his speed.  Together, Yeldon and Shoelace are sort of a "thunder and lightning" duo.  Anyone know the extent of his injury?

 

I think Miami was very proud of its Run Defense so they were forcing the Jaguars to defeat them via the Passing game (thinking the poor oline, young QB, and young WRs couldnt do it), but they were wrong as they threw up 200 passing yards and two TDs in the first half.  Part of the west coast Offense scheme OC Olson is running is to throw early and run later in the game tiring out the Defense (in case of a come back) and killing the game clock.

I love Yeldon's cuts especially inside for not being a huge guy he runs like a fb at times.
