I hope that game was the wake up call Nagy needed to made some changes to his game plan. I'm not going to worry unless I see this continue for a couple more games. I think this game could be what they needed to fire them up for the rest of the season and I hope they will be prepared to destroy the Packers next game.
A fair post, and I think that was the expectation.
Well, if you’re going to play the “take away player x’s best play” game, I can see why you’d be puzzled as to how Davis got outplayed, but the proof is in the numbers. Montgomery averaged 3 yards more per touch than Davis when counting both rushing and receiving, the latter of which you conviently ignored. And the eyeball test was glaring as well. Davis looked like a guy who should get a few mop-up touches a game when the good backs need a breather. Cohen and Montgomery should get 90% of the RB touches in this offense. I suspect Davis is only getting a lot of PT due to being good at pass protect. Once Montgomery gets up to speed in that area, I suspect you’ll see him on the field more, while Davis spends more time where he belongs, on the bench.
Monty - 6/15 = 40%
I got him at 5.08, which I believe was right around or even a little past his ADP for when I was drafting.
Analytics doesn't understand the full picture. Running the ball makes passing more effective.
Yes, analytics says that running the ball makes passing more effective. However, it's not enough to offset the benefits of simply passing every time.
eye test showed me that Montgomery has good vision and a nice-start stop, breaks some tackles, but the lack of burst to get away concerns me.
Woulda missed a terrific game out of that 4th rounder today.
Mitch Trubisky must also look terrific by this boards standards.18 for 62 at 3.4ypc and you’re asking where all the haters at?
How’s the share of carries looking here in week 2?18 for 62 at 3.4ypc and you’re asking where all the haters at?
I drafted him almost everywhere. But I benched him in two spots for MCLAURIN, who I got off waivers. So far that is still the winning play for me. As a Bears fan I still love him. But I'm way down on Nagy and Trubisky. I did start him in a couple spots though.

I’m confused as to what your response has to do with my post. Please elaborate.How’s the share of carries looking here in week 2?
No, he looks terrible, which is why it’s especially impressive that Montgomery has been able to do this much.
I agree with the Nagy/Trubisky part, but since he’s my RB2 & Singletary pulled a hammy, I’m happy to see his touches dramatically increase.
So you thought he looked “terrific?” Honestly? He was fine. Yes, against a good defense. He was so far and away from “terrific” that I’m not sure we watched the same game. I won’t clutter this thread further. We’ll just agree to disagree.
Not really. He’s no better than Malcolm Brown. I’m comfortable with saying he’s a more agile version of Benjarvis Green-Ellis at this point. He could get a few decent seasons on volume but they essentially traded Jordan Howard for slower Jordan Howard with better hands.
I deeply question whether you’ve ever actually watched a football game before.
I’ll have a terrific day, thank you. Which by your definition likely means about 8 miles per gallon in my Humvee that tops out at 40mph before it gets a flat tire.
Look at the touches. The haters I was referring to were heavily focused on lack of use.I’ll have a terrific day, thank you. Which by your definition likely means about 8 miles per gallon in my Humvee that tops out at 40mph before it gets a flat tire.
Eat crow losers! 3.4 yards per carry!
Fact.
Context is pretty crucial. He had five goal line carries for a total of four yards. So his stats outside of the goal line were 13 carries for 58 yards, a healthy 4.5 ypc.18 for 62 at 3.4ypc and you’re asking where all the haters at?

Especially in a topic where the context has consistently been usage.
