I know you are so right. They rather have plodding Hill run for 2 yards instead of GIO's 5.5 ypc and more effective in passing game. I always thought if Gio could get 25-30 touches a game he could be similar to what Freeman is now. Cinci coaching staff is so stupid.
Fake football or not, it's flat out stupid to be trotting out a guy that averages 3.0 ypc vs one that averages 5.5 ypc. See John Fox. it eventually catches up to you are you are told to leave (Carolina) because you are too stupid to see the obvious.
He had 40+ yard and 10+ yard runs taken back due to ticky tack penalties (block in the back / holding). Falcons got too cute in the endzone and instead of handing him the ball, gave the ball to the fullback and try to force feed it to Julio. Don't know why they wouldn't run it with Freeman when he already has 9 rushing TD's.
It looked like Quinn wants to get more options involved. Seemed to make an effort to get the ball to Roddy and Nick Williams and even Tamme once. You mentioned FB. In time, there will be a real good D where it'll be a negative if it's only Julio and Devante.
not that it matters much, but if i were you, i would reconsider where or how you gather your data. you are missing bryce brown for certain. his rookie year, replacing injured mccoy, he put up 189 total yards and 2 tds, followed by 183 and 2 tds,
nope. not at all. hes still getting a ton of yards and receptions. since he took over in week 2, hes averaged 116 yards rushing and 41 yards receiving on 4.5 catches.
Hilarious.
The dude's point isn't complicated: TDs are volatile and sometimes they come in spurts. Generally speaking, you'll do well trading away guys getting touchdowns for guys getting yards.
Except that on a day when he didn't score and points were at a premium, Freeman still managed 116 yards and 4.6 per carry. So the point doesn't seem to apply. Expecting 35+ point of the guy every week isn't realistic. However, it's clear he's running the ball well.
Major failure. Just about everytime he has had the ball near the goal line, he has produced a TD. Seems like trying to be cute by using lesser players is the norm anymore in the NFL. JAX - Gerhart 4x, DET with 2 bums that should only be playing special teams among other GL blunders this week.
Strange. Carolina did it last night
He fumbled twice in the first game and once in the 2nd game, which is probably why he is just under 30 in each one. (18 + 12 - 4 or 2)
Artis-Payne actually made a good run then -the replay from above showed him avoiding two guys in backfield to get back to LOS.
You know he's leading the NFL in Yards right? He's #1 in Yards rushing and #3 in RB Yards receiving. What are you missing here?
28.9 and 30.3 to be exact
I doubt we will have anything of much use before Wednesday though. It's good to hear he's doing okay as apparently symptoms in the first 24 hours are crucial.
And I dropped Coleman last waiver ha. (Non Freeman owner)
im definitely not a smarter FBG'er than most here, but i was very impressed what I saw from coleman in game #1. he passed the eye test for me... i did not see any of yesterday's game though.
This was my first time to watch Coleman and I agree. Take the handoff and run straight ahead at full blast. A strong gust of wind would then take him down. I was really surprised by what I saw.
I told people that a while back. No vision at all. Just run fast but if touched, goes down just as fast. That will work great in college.
I think it means Atl gets their butts kicked again. Remember that every year there are a few teams that start super hot and then go in the tank. Falcons are this.
Home game and I can't see either team running away with it. I scooped up Coleman today and may start him over Woodhead.
ya and some leagues dont count fumbles. so whatever. its a stupid arbitrary stat anyway.
