Oline and bad playcalling is why? Yeldon looks pretty good...

Anyone long for the days of Jedd Fisch? No, i didn't think so either. Get rid of the entire OL (as in not line them up) and just hand the ball off to any number of our assorted RB's and the yardage would probably be about the same. Well, maybe not but you get the point. Marshawn Lynch would be a man running in concrete with this same OL.

Without the All-22, I'm not sure we can blame Yeldon more than the O-Line.  Has anyone actually seen a hole that Yeldon has missed?  Or is it possible there are no holes for him to hit?

 

On top of that, it's pretty obvious when the Jags are gonna run, and usually the D is ready for it with a stacked box, because they know we won't play action to a pass...

 

So, if there is some blame to be put on Yeldon, it's probably that he's inexperienced, and appears to not have that burst when he'll break one wide open.  But Yeldon is a hard runner and even with his low YPC, he looks like a solid RB that's a mix of Freddie and MJD, again with that lack of top tier speed that's needed to break open a run.  

 

But if I were to assign blame, I'd put equal parts play calling and O-Line production way ahead of any issue with Yeldon.

 

As for Gerhart, why the heck you would start him and give him more reps compared to Shoelace is beyond me.

Funny thing, last year this very thing was happening to one Toby Gerhart but the only difference was that HE was getting called out for it.............not the OL.

Caldwell already got his RB in the second round. No chance he gets Fournette. GMs fall in love with their own early picks and ride them until the bitter end.

Bortles on pace for 34 TDs and he sucks. Yeldon on pace for 0 TDs and he's looked good.


Your opinion is hilarious.

Yeah, Jedd Fisch was probably the worst OC I've ever seen. I loved the 3rd and 8 draw play for Gerhart vs. the Ravens D...stuffed for -2. If you're gonna call a draw play, why would the slowest RB be in the game?

Was it mind blowing when the Chiefs had a streak with no WR's getting a touchdown?

Quote:They are awful. The above is what you believe with no verifiable way to prove it either way. I remember both Fred Taylor and MJD having solid to great lines pretty much throughout their careers. Yeldon probably has some share of the blame. I was just surprised you pointed him out over the line.
Every line was solid? Hmmm..... How bout 2008, that line was terrible cause every starter on the interior went down. Now granted Fred was injured (and 32 old by then) but he still did 3.9 ypc. MJD did 4.2 ypc. 09,10 definitely were not good lines either. MJD did 4.4, and 4.5.

Now granted, the line is bad now too, but it isn't 08' bad. '09 and '10 got pushed back constantly in the center of the line and MJD did fine anyway. How many people wanted Brad Meester gone for years before he left?

 

Fred was the only back on team over 4 ypc for years before MJD.

 

Yeldon may not be a bust, but hes certainly not a game changer right now.

That more than an entire season, right? Thats pretty mind blowing for what seemed like a decent offense on a 10+ win team.

First, I wouldn't compare Yeldon to MJD. Also, I cannot remember our oline being this bad run blocking. Yeldon does lead all backs in YPC. What I am saying is to call Yeldon out first implies he is the biggest problem. Not our oline, Gerhart or Robinson.
