TJ Yeldon vs Ameer Abdullah

#41

Quote:Ok. At any rate, Jaguars defenders were tripping over themselves to get to him.


To be completely fair Yeldon did the same to the Lions defenders in his catch and run.

That was a nice 12-yard completion for a first down, but it wasn't quite like Ameer's run. Ameer's 21-yard catch left a slew of defenders eating dirt.

But we're splitting hairs now. Both had their moments. Neither really made me wish we could re-do the pick.

One catch and run in a preseason game and the evaluation is over huh?


I guess you ARE that good.

Actually I've been eying Ameer all preseason and have seen a few more examples of him leaving defenders in the dust with his speed. As this is TJ's first game action I had a hunch Ameer would look better. I do expect TJ to look much improved with more games under his belt and with better run blocking up front.

@paytonsun: I really like Ameer Abdullah! #DETvsJAX https://t.co/6LqhuljFWB


That? Gerhart could've done that with that blocking.

Obviously, we don't have enough "tape" on Yeldon in teal to really evaluate him yet, but I thought this was worth sharing. 

 

When mentioning the questionable diving TD-- err, fumble at the goal line, this is Bradley's expression:

"It was close, now."

That face shows it all.  He didn't think he had ball security or a TD.

Yeldon looked slow to me. I realize there wasn't much in the way of running room. However, even on that 12 yard gain, he looked slow. He is elusive though. I'm not making any judgments after just one meaningless preseason game. His lack of burst and speed worry me though.

To me Yeldon looked "ok", but didn't really do anything that would ramp him up the depth chart.  That being said, this is his first time being on the field in the NFL.  I'm looking at Robinson and Gerhart being the "feature backs" to start the season.  I do think that Yeldon should get some playing time in the final preseason game.

Like I said when Yeldon was drafted, he wasn't going to uproot Shoelace that quickly, and I don't think he should. Let him earn those carries just like Shoelace had to

THERE IS A SKELETON INSIDE OF YOU.

 

RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

I'll admit, I wasn't really impressed with Robinson until last season when he finally started looking like a running back.
