Anyone else still believe in Yeldon?


Quote:You're going a big overboard here. I actually have to disagree with virtually all of your points, so let me take them individually...
  • explosiveness - he's shown the ability to explode into holes to pick up short-yardage conversions and touchdowns. Now he tends to be more patient on normal downs where you don't really see it, but he's ot some power and explosiveness when he needs to use it.
  • first contact - I've seen him slip through tackles meaning he's not overly fragile. You make it sounds like he goes down if touched, but that's not the case. Granted he'll go down with a good tackle, but a defender needs to square up and make a good tackle or he can be slippery.
  • wiggle - I'd argue this is one of his best attributes.... TJ has all kinds of wiggle and is very adept at making cuts.
  • acceleration - this sort of goes along with explosiveness in that he'll go from 0 to top speed quickly. Now what I will admit is that his top speed is not all that fast, and he doesn't have a second gear to go even faster when freed up.
I've actually seen more wiggle from TJ than I have from Ivory, but Ivory will straight up break even good tackles and has a more punishing approach to running the football. Where TJ can be physical, Ivory is all about being physical. Neither RB, tho, truly has that breakout speed that Corey Grant brings to the table, although admittedly Corey does lack wiggle and will go down if touched. It's just, with Corey, touching him is no easy task.
All great points...

I just have to look at game performance.

And core got down man...are u kidding me?

Against indy corey looked like he was playing in the super bowl.

He did everything you could want from a rb.

He definitely deserves a long look this off season.

I don't believe that game against indy was a fluke either. I definitely believe grant can produce like that regularly
