Duke is a nice pick up in that he is a versatile 3rd down back who can replace some of what Etienne was going to bring to the offense.
Respect the game. Play with a sense of urgency.
1.) Take care of the ball. Win the turnover battle. 2.) It's all about 3rd down. Win on 3rd down to win the game. 3.) Playmakers make plays. The only reason that you put your uniform on is to make plays. In order to EARN your paycheck, you must make plays. Learn from the great collapse of 2023.
Been wanting him on the team for like 3 years. He's a rb out of Miami who's actually faster than Etienne. Plus he has some wiggle and good receiving hands.
He was secure in Cleveland until Hunt fell to them and stole his time. I like the pick up. (09-07-2021, 05:42 PM)flgatorsandjags Wrote: This would be a good pick up Agreed. Take a 1-2 year flier.

I like Duke and all, but no he isn't faster, or more explosive than ETN. Duke ran 4.55 and 4.6 at the combine (4.51 at his pro day). ETN ran 4.41 and 4.43 at his pro day (didn't have a combine because of covid). I also wasn't a fan of taking ETN at #25 either. Still, I wanted them to pick up Duke after ETN's injury because he's an ideal 3rd down back and is a change of pace for this back field. Robinson should still get the majority of the work, as he's good in the receiving game as well (and the best pass protecting RB), but Hyde isn't any good and Dare is just another dime a dozen typical thumping RB. If they only want to house 3 RBs on the active roster, I'd move Dare to the PS and promote Duke to active. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

Q for the group: Once Austin recuperates, does he replace Duke, or do we keep both on the roster? I kind of saw Austin as Etienne-lite as far as our scheme fit, not sure how much a drop there is from Austin to Duke.
Duke has only been in the NFL since 2015. Seems like he's been in the league for 10+ years now. He'll be 28 on Sept 23 --- I thought this dude was 31 or 32 years old by now.
Interestingly, we selected TJ Yeldon with pick #36 and the Browns went with Duke with pick #77 in the 2015 draft. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

Being the only decent player in Cleveland probably felt like an eternity to him too. “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
