I'm not a Taylor lover or hater, but it looked to me like he got hit behind the line of scrimmage on almost every run. He actually turned a couple of potential losses into a decent gain by a spin move. I realize the OL has pro bowlers, but this unit still needs to gel. IMO, defenses are usually ahead of the offense at this point in the preseason.

Not time to panic yet, for Taylor lovers.

 

[CrossEyed]

For those making judgments based on the pre-season, allow me to remind you that the Steelers starting O failed to score a TD in the preseason last year and some people were openly questioning whether or not Ben should remain the starter.

It's pre-season folks, relax

 

[Football Jones]

Nothing against Taylor. I think he's a nice RB. I wish Moore would get a shot with somebody, though. If Taylor does falter, I believe Moore would be a real weapon as a feature back.

I know he's had trouble staying healthy, but this kid is so darn talented. He's one of the best pass-catchers in the NFL & he has an outstanding combination of elusiveness & tackle-breaking capability.

 

[brakeyawself]

He's tough too. You see how he went after that Raider when he got tackled? I love to see that kind of fire out of a player.

 

[cr8f]

I got Chester as my RB4 in round 7. He's my insurance in a 12 team PPR league behind Jordan, Westbrook and Kevin Jones. SOD.

Round 7. Are the people you are playing with dead? That's crazy. He isn't hurt and a probable starter.

Never started before, Minny has the RBBC reputation and we are required to start 2 QBs, 2 WRs, and only 1 RB. So there are usually a few RB deals to be had if you're paying attention.

Certainly the latter is why he dropped.

Yeah, but we also start 2 Flex so the extra RBs always come in handy.

 

[Interseptopus]

I'll admit, Taylor's stats don't look too good, but he did make something out of nothing a lot. I'm not too worried. That entire offense looked pathetic, and it should be. So did Oakland's. Anyone noticing a trend here? A lot of the first year coach's are putting together some pretty poor offensive performances in their first preseason game...

Give it some time. Yeah, things don't look good if you're judging on 9 carries in the first preseason game. But we have 3 more weeks until the season, 3 more games for this unit to gel... Who knows if they'll have it together come week 1, but an easy SOS can't hurt their progress...

 

[H.K.]

I'm not a Taylor lover or hater, but it looked to me like he got hit behind the line of scrimmage on almost every run.

He wasn't getting hit in the backfield, he was getting hit at the LOS. He was too slow to hit the holes and they closed before he got there, then when he was touched, he went down on first contact. He had one run where he broke a tackle.Richardson carried three guys with him into the end zone, good coaching by Childress to recognize his best GL option....but this is bad news for Taylor.

Q: Did Ciatrick Fason move ahead of Mewelde Moore on the depth chart? He went in the game first tonight.

A: Yeah, he did, but we continue to roll those guys. We're kind of day-to-day with those guys, and we evaluate them every night.

Q: The running game struggled at first. Can you talk about that?

A: I wish I could completely recall the struggle. I thought Chester (Taylor) did some good things in there, being able to slide for some first downs that he kind of made on his own. I thought there were some good things there. I'm just having trouble remembering all the way back to that first crowd and the struggles.

Childress is in denial.

 

[Warhogs]

Just a couple of thoughts I came away with after the first preseason game.

1- I now believe that Chester Taylor will get every opportunity to lock down the starting job and get the chance to have 20-25 touches per game.

2- The Vikings offensive line did not open up much for running lanes last night.

That is about all I really came away with after 1 preseason game.

 

[hotboyz]

If you payed any attention to the game I though the Vikings offense looked pretty efficient the reason Chester had a hard time running was the Raiders were crowding the los they ran 8 in the box almost every play!! Watch the tape

How about Richardson at the GL? He had those duties in KC in Holmes first season. That said a lot.Also, the offense did not target RB's very much in the passing game either. Only passes to the FB when Taylor was in, too. Richardson will be more of a role in this offense than people may think.

I know it's only preseason but CT looked completely unable to break a tackle. Richardson at the GL too. I think he just dropped to the bottom of tier 5 for me

 

[BlueOnion]

I thought Taylor looked really good. He was consistently getting hit at the line of scrimmage or in the backfield, but more times than not he was still getting three yards after contact.

I was pleasantly (sp??) suprised, though I expect a little more come the regular season.

 

[softball]

Anyone starting to see why I am so negative about him yet?Let's see: 2 yards a carry against a bad defense, Richardson used at the goal line, and zero passes thrown to him. I am sure someone will defend him and hustify the numbers, but he actually looked worse than his stats.

Are you down on LaMont as well? I thought his offense looked fairly pathetic as well?Preseason is hazardous to FF health...

 

[skillz]

As a CT fan I am glad that he performed the way he did. I think he will be a solid RB 2 this season in 12 team leagues and I am hoping he can fall to me with my 4th round pick. If he blew up last night, his value would have skyrocketed and that would no longer be possible. I just hope he keeps flying under the radar until my draft comes up.

I can't believe it took so long for HK to come up with a new excuse/theory why Taylor won't succeed. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few but he's out of shape, chris brown will bbe the starter, he'll lose his job in training camp, he's injured he's done, Fason/moore are coming on, Mckinnie is hurt and now its Richardson. How long will you stick with this one?I could care less about the stat line and in fact I'm glad he didn't go off on MNF because his stock would have shot through the roof. The vikes have a new offense, new rb, new lineman and a new blocking back so its not surprising in the least that they weren't clicking on all cylinders. What I did like was that he got the ball 9 times in one qtr so its obvious they are gonna pound the rock and he's gonna be the pounder. Also fason/moore showed absolutely nothing as the backups were equally ineffective vs 2nd/3rd string defenses.

Your Chester Taylor hate is unstoppable! Can you talk to the guys in my league? Make sure to drop the Richardson vulture thing too. That would scare them enough to drop him another round. Better value for me.

I think Chester Taylor actually being in the goal-line package says a lot. When it comes to the real deal, I suspect Taylor will still be in the goal package and getting the carries. The Richardson goal line carry would only be a red flag if the Childress sent in the goal line package and this involved Taylor coming off the field.

Jordan is a proven player, and will get plenty of carries. Unlike Taylor, he has had some nice runs in the pre-season. However, the most receptions caught by an RB coached by Shell was Harvey Williams, who caught 48 balls in 1994 IIRC....His next best RB only caught twenty something passes. Brooks has looked awful, and Moss was frustrated last night. Reminds me of Shell's last season when Hostetler and Brown were upset by Walsh's play calling. Net/net: I think Jordan can still manage a top 10 year, but he could be worse in PPR leagues.

On the flip side, has anyone taken a second to realize I could actually be right? I said Taylor would disappoint, and he won't be worthy of his Top 20 status he is given based on pre-season projections for PPR leagues. His performance last night validated my stance. Ignore my reservations all you want, but he looked bad.

Come on now, if he had gone out and went 5 for 35 with a TD you would be telling us to keep the optimism in check as it's only the first preseason game. I agree he didn't look or do anything special, but let's just keep our eyes open here.

In 2001 Richardson had 7 rush Td's and holmes had 8. Historical data dominator does not show their length, but I'll bet you dollars to donuts that Richardson's were mostly from the five yard line in and Holmes' were mostly outside of that distance. Considering Taylor's longest run last night wasn't beyond four yards, I don't see him getting a whole lot of TD's...if any.

Moore caught two passes for 24 yards, and Fason relieved Taylor on third and long for a draw play. The writing is on the wall, you just have to read it.

I think you're right about Richardson's TDs. You're starting to be a little over the top now. This might be the best ploy to bring a guys value down to draft him ever. Are all of your league mates on this site?Cracking the top 20 shouldn't be that hard if (I hate using that word here) he can physically handle the 20+ touches per game he's going to get. Agree or disagree?

Sure, you could be right. But there is no reason anyone should include anything you say into their analysis because you have pushed your irrational Chester hate to such heights. That's the sad part, there are some real reasons to be concerned here, but they are lost in the constant sea of rediculous hate posts you make about this.

did you happen to notice when those Moore receptions were? There were seconds left in the 1st half, totally prevent defense against the 3rd string d. Where is that grasping at straws smilie!!!!

Excellent post as always B.O. I agree completely! I think it will be Taylor. I actually think Childress gave Richardson the ball to give teams something to plan for in the regular season. He has been very guarded and secretive to this point and I think he wants Gibbs and Co. in Washington to see the two back pro set at the goalline and have to prepare for that with Richardson getting the ball. When it comes down to it, I think you will see CT in the I with Richardson in front...Touchdown Taylor! (SHHH! Washington will have no idea!)Just my opinion.

I love when guys judge a player on one peseason game. Or all preseason games for that matter. I feed on those guys. How many years of preseason football do guys need to see to realize it means nothing? It amazes me that this issue comes up every year in FF.

Taylor will be a solid RB2 this year in any format.

did you happen to notice when those Moore receptions were? There were seconds left in the 1st half, totally prevent defense against the 3rd string d. Where is that grasping at straws smilie!!!!

How many catches did Taylor have? How many targets?Zip. Nada, Zilch.His stat line reads like the donuts he covets.

how many qtrs did he play? c'mon it's preseason and he played one quarter. All the targets that Fason/Moore got later in the game he will get in the regular season. You have to take your YPC/statline glasses off and put your football glasses on. Taylor had 2 short yardage opportunties (2nd and 2) and (3rd and 2) and converted both with 3 yard runs. 3 yards doesn't look so good when looking at it from a YPC basis but coaches couldn't care less about that they want a 1st down which he got in both opportunities. That's what coaches like and that's what Childress was talking about when he complemented Taylor and the 1st downs. That's what keeps drives alive and scores points. I'm sure you're right and Taylor will receive 0 targets this year....

BTW, while there is still all this love for CT, who else wants to hop on the "RB20 or better" love boat?Looks like the three amigos (JWB, HK and myself) are still holding strong.

You guys want me to say it, don't you?Well...fine, here you go:It is a statistical impossiblity for Chester Taylor to be among the top 20 RB's in PPR leagues. There, are you happy now?

Not what I was after. I understand you hate the guy. I'm cool with that. On a separate note, I start to really scratch my head when I see you're down on Gates too.

Read what I put in Gates' spotlight thread. Sums it up.

Said he got zero targets this week, I am sure he'll catch some (as well as drop a few) during the season before riding the pine.Can't we just agree on JLew and build from there?

You're good people, banger...I could tell from your avatar that we'd eventually be buddies. We share the same interest in low brow humor! (Obviously, I need things to be "dumbed down" considerably before I can relate to them)
