I'm not talking about his drafting ability. I'm talking about his asinine reasoning for not giving a guy more carries. If he said something like "We don't feel he's quite ready for that load" or "We like him as strictly a change of pace guy based on what we've seen in practice" I could buy that. This nonsense that he is too small for a big role is ridiculous when we've seen numerous backs in this league have great success with almost the same body type.Eminence said:
You are definitely delusional if it would take that much to make you happy.
The one who looks foolish is Arians who stated that Ellington could be a 3 down back and then totally recants that and states we have to watch how we use him because of his size?? Which is it? Besides if they are so concerned about his small size, use him in a Sproles type scheme more and he would perform to his skillset. Between the tackles he is not. So use him to his strengths and maybe keep Palmer off his back.Eminence said:
so your happy if he is a top 5 running back, i would be too. nonetheless, i would be happy if he can get 15-20 touches. if he can do that, he should impress...
I will ejaculate if he does that today.
agreed, esp since they said his role won't change.... someone will be getting the carries Mendy was getting not named Ellington it looks like until further notice... Now if elllington has 15 carries for 150 yards I doubt they use him less next week... I think he can earn more carries going forward for sure.
he seems to be producing at a 3x greater rate though bud, what seems so hard to grasp? 5-9 199 is irrelevant as it was stated in earlier posts that his BMI is higher then Chris johnsons and Jamaal charles.... He is actually pretty durable and hasn't had any big time in inj in college or pros.
Would absolutely love it but agree that seems overly optimistic. As always will come down to production. If he kills it with his touches and others struggle it may happen but a lot of things likely have to occur for the best case scenario to happen.
Taylor may get some back up work.....but I have Ellington going in 2 leagues.....bye week.
In same boat. Have trich in 2 of 3 and Ellington in 3 of 3. Been holding him hoping for the opportunity and today's the day...hope he make the best of it and puts a stranglehold on the job.
