I know nothing about him and have never seen him run but I like to buy into offenses and I like the jags upside. Tank is a cheap option and is the last spot on my bench. If something doesn’t happen this week he’s likely gone next week for another shot at something else.
A good play. Looked like 1/2 that pile thought the play was over because they’re all just standing around wondering what’s going on. lol
Sheesh, tough crowd.
I’m just sayin what I’m seeing.
True. The o-line did a good job of shoving him forward 4-5 yards.
I just watched it again. It was 4-5 Jax OL and 1-2 INDY defenders.
I’ll agree with that part.
That is probably more accurate. I was going off memory seeing it live in the original account.I’ll agree with that part.
But cmon - it wasn’t “tank MOVED the pile!”
The pile we mostly Jags.
Yeah I didn't say "he moved the pile on the TD" but in the redzone he absolutely had a play that was stopped at like the 5 and somehow pushed to the one yard line.
I saw that play as well and thought he was going to help drive the pile into the end zone - almost did. I'm sure that type of extra effort of keeping your legs moving wasn't lost on the coaching staff (as well as the pick 6 and lost fumble, of course).
Yes, the coach probably bought those 4 OL who carried him a nice steak dinner for their effort.
As long as ETN is vertical, imma go with “never”.
Not sure what your point is here. The rest of the game was abjectly worse for him.
I'm not yet convinced they do.
I'm going to try and ignore that this thread so far feels like an agenda being pushed and kind of attack-y and hostile, but pointing it out so you know.
Lmao
I am, and it's not Tank It's D'Ernest. Although he only got one touch on Sunday for negative yardage, he is the shark-stash in deeper leagues in the event of a ETN injury. IMHO, of course.
I don’t disagree for now. I’ve liked what I’ve seen of Johnson at the NFL level when he was with CLE.
I think Tank is the clear handcuff here. The fact that the coaching staff stuck with him - and still gave him high leverage touches - tells you all you need to know how they feel about him.
I don’t disagree and said as much above.
For sure - one more big gaffe and have to think he'll be seeing the bench for some time.
Inexplicable. 1st and goal at the KC 1 and the Jags call three pass plays and kick the FG. Why even bother drafting a guy named Tank?
Given how they used week 1 this surprised me, but it was interesting to see D'Ernest Johnson in there what felt like quite a bit.
Would he though? He’s looked bad from what Ive seen. Like just doing stupid things, fumbling, etc.
Yes he would. Have you seen their RB room?
Sure he would get more touches, are we sure he would be league winner everyone regretted not having rostered? I’m definitely not.
Find yourself someone who loves you as much as Pederson loves hyping up this mediocre running back every year.
It's possible that last year was just a disaster for Tank and maybe he'll figure it out. I'm a bit skeptical though because it seems to be a position that guys either get it right away or don't and become bench material.
I do think he got overworked last year, especially with pointless up the gut runs behind an OL that couldn't create any lanes. I think the issues with ETN last year had more to do with the whole Jags offense falling apart than anything with him. 2 years ago, he didn't appear to wear down. He finished 2022 with 100 yards rushing in 3 of the last 6 games. He was great in the playoffs for them.
Pre-draft, I liked his college film.
Yes, you are an out of the box thinker, clearly, and I for one welcome your fresh perspective and exciting new ideas.
I didn't take your comment necessarily as a shot at HSG, more of an "oh how things change over the course of a year" ... with maybe a little bit of a jab sprinkled in lol. But only you know how you meant it.
Whatever you say, Eminence.
5,385th time’s the charm, I guess.
