It's good to hear he looked good. Will be looking forward to watching it on replay.Howard looked great yesterday other than the fumble. He must have had 5 or 6 10+ yard runs and just looked very smooth running the ball. Hopefully he isn't injured and Fox isn't dumb enough to not start him the rest of the way.
He looked terrific and was a shoelace tackle away from breaking a few big ones. If Fox benched him because of that fumble he's an even bigger ####### hack than I already thought. Hope he gets fired tonight. Loggains too.Howard looked great yesterday other than the fumble. He must have had 5 or 6 10+ yard runs and just looked very smooth running the ball.

Link?Odd story about his injury/benching. Not sure what to think.
If you haven't learned already, there are some people that should just be ignored.in other words - no link
Can we all just take a second to acknowledge how ####### weird and uncommon it is for a HC to speculate about a player's injury? Coaches never speak like this...bicycle_seat_sniffer said:Specifically, Fox stated Howard "possibly" has an Achilles' injury, which is concerning for the Bears' breakout rookie.
Speaks the truth /\Can we all just take a second to acknowledge how ####### weird and uncommon it is for a HC to speculate about a player's injury? Coaches never speak like this...
Wondering the same and what to spend on him. Don't have much left (43 of $100) but also not much left on the wire in a 12 team league so not sure what to do. Know if I spend most Howard will be fine and if I don't spend enough I'll miss out and Howard will be out lol.Still no word huh?
Is everyone grabbing Langford just in case? Don't feel like burning one on him.
That's because Fox benched him for most of the rest of the game because of the fumble. SmhJust went back and looked... 2nd to last series, Howard ran for 9 yards on first down, with about 5 minutes left in the game, to get to 100. He was stuck on 91 yards for what seemed to be well over a quarter.
He really is. I was wrongIt is no coincidence that when the Broncos fired Fox, that they won the SB the following year. Elways knew how bad Fox was at his job.
Howard limped/hopped off after that carry. But as the game ended, Howard was standing next to either Carey or Langford watching the game.Just went back and looked... 2nd to last series, Howard ran for 9 yards on first down, with about 5 minutes left in the game, to get to 100.

Not true!Howard limped/hopped off after that carry. But as the game ended, Howard was standing next to either Carey or Langford watching the game.
So, Howard definitely hurt his ankle somewhat. But he wouldn't have been standing and watching if it were serious IMO. And if it was a torn Achilles, he definitely wouldn't have been standing and we would have MRI results by now.
i think it would be tough for this team to be any worse than they are now and he's producing good numbers. imo he's a great add for dynasty.Where do you dynasty guys rank Howard? Does the Bears' likelihood uncertainty coaching and QB wise hurt him looking ahead at the next few years?
Im thnking he'll be a guy that ends up being surprisingly good fantasy value next year, especially if Chicago drafts a back. Folks will be low on him because of the uncertainty, committee risk, new staff not invested, etc. Jay Ajayi seems like a good situational parallel.Where do you dynasty guys rank Howard? Does the Bears' likelihood of uncertainty coaching-wise and QB-wise hurt him looking ahead at the next few years?
Waste of time, priority ... and roster spot.Still no word huh?

yeah I noticed that too ... something fishy here. Maybe, maybe not.When Howard was absent from the game for a long stretch, he was stuck at 91 yards.
He came back in near the end of the game and had one more carry for 9 yards. That doesn't sound like someone who is badly injured.
FTFYyeah I noticed that too ... something foxy here. Maybe, maybe not.
Agreed. Isn't he undersized though? Something tells me he's more of a COP back than a feature back.Langford has never been and never will be a good RB. In the few weeks we saw Howard and Carey split carries, Carey looked much better than Langford has ever looked IMO..
In his sophomore and Junior year at Arizona, he had 303 & 349 rushing attempts..Agreed. Isn't he undersized though? Something tells me he's more of a COP back than a feature back.
