Asiata vs. McKinnon (1 Viewer)

[amnesiac]

Asiata is the new Leroy Hoard.

 

[RBM]

This offense

3rd and 7.....Asiata up the middle

 

[treat88]

Asiata looks like another Mike Alstott. A big FB playing RB.

Alstott is way too generous a comp.

More like Jackie Battle redux.

 

[John Bender]

McKinnon sucks bad at blocking. Really bad. Guy is a turnstyle

 

[MCguidance]

McKinnon does look lost on pass pro.

 

[John Bender]

Pretty incredible block by Asiata there.

McKinnon played 1 series or 2?

Looks like Asiata plays two series for every one of McKinnon's

fumbles are an inherent risk when the upside is 3 ypc.

4.1?

 

[SameSongNDance]

If Asiata gets benched at least he'll finish with 4.1 YPC

 

[CR69]

Agreed that McKinnon has been pretty bad at pass protecting tonight. Asiata fumbling could lead to more time for McKinnon though. Would be interesting to see them use McKinnon on 1/2 down with Asiata getting the 3rd down and goal line touches instead of alternating series. Seems like that would get the most out of each player.

Completely agree on both fronts there.

 

[thekidd2009]

Asiata still in there after the fumble

 

[John Bender]

Asiata still in there after the fumble

Uh yeah.

Because he's the STARTING RB.

4.1?

sorry, bit of hyperbole on my part.

lol no problem.

There used to be actual good information in this thread and then it turned into McKinnon vs Asiata owners.

As an owner of both, I was looking for actual info lol. I was too sensitive there.

Wishful thinking.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Given how bad he is in pass protection, McKinnon is looking to be a play only when it's a game the Vikings have more than a good chance of winning. In other words, it probably needs to be a home game when Ponder is not playing.

 

[amnesiac]

hoping for some late game garbage stats for McKinnon.

as soon as i saw Ponder was going to start, i had second thoughts regarding starting McKinnon.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Too much pressure by GB, I don't know how they can put McKinnon back there on passing plays.

they'll get bored at some point.

DDoes it really matter how good the RB is blocking when all 5 players on the o-line are getting beat anyway?

That's when it matters most, actually.

 

[shadyridr]

Ok that was a great run by lacy

 

[John Bender]

Anyone have the updates on the touches?

 

[John Bender]

Who?

 

[John Bender]

I'm showing Asiata greater than 2/1

Can anyone double check that?

13:6

McKinnon owner here. Checking play-by-play on ESPN, which divides it up into series, it looks like exactly 2/1 (for series).

Sorry, possessions. Each possession. Not series of downs.

Asiata has 13 touches, McKinnon, 6.

 

[flapgreen]

No rhyme or reason to what they're doing.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Hmm, maybe Asiata could punch one in here if he's in.

God I'm hoping so

 

[RBM]

Asiata has looked solid running tonight.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Oof haha.

 

[urbanhack]

Asiata has looked solid running tonight.

I thought you said he was crap?

 

[RichInOrlando]

Well one last quarter to see if either can salvage the night. Right now neither looked horrible (tho a fumble) but they were one of the few bright spots of the offense.

With the game out of reach, I'm assuming it's all McKinnon from here on out

Got to rest your starting RB here if the coach has a brain

That was before I picked him up.

 

[cvnpoka]

asiata hasnt been in since his bad holding penalty. guessing hes done for the night. brutal game for him with the fumble and hold. wonder if he loses even more time to mckinnon. rough backfield to own right now.

 

[John Bender]

asiata hasnt been in since his bad holding penalty the game got out of reach indefinitely. guessing hes done for the night. brutal game for him with the fumble and hold. wonder if he loses even more time to mckinnon. rough backfield to own right now.

Asiata is the starter. That is why he is sitting in a 30+ game.

Nah, right now looks like what someone else said, that the Vikes are just saving him. They are prob trying to get McKinnon some heavy play time tonight.

Exactly

Same reason he sat the last series vs Falcons and people here took is as an omen that McKinnon was surpassing him

Gotta love the shark pool
