I appreciate nicknames like that by orders of magnitude over such monikers as ARod, or CDub. Modern sports nicknames are the laziest pieces of dung. "Sandman" at least has some kind of character. Whether this guy deserves it, IDK. I don't think he has much of a future if he can't figure out how to bounce plays when they aren't there.

Who is faster out of Gaskin and Brieda? I like the speed guys vs Jets so far

Speaking of nicknames, I think you mean "Sneetah," part snake, part cheetah, all Breida.
TZ Markie told me he called himself that. I came up with the hook afterwards.
Fire up your Gaskins; it's gonna be a heck of a ride against the Jets. (Who don't do too poorly against the run.)
Sneetah looked fast on this 31 yard revenge screen vs the 49ers last week. With Bell out of picture, Breida has a chance for an increased role.

I love it. Revenge screen against his former mates. Sounds right.
eta* Your link is to A.J. Brown's catches against the Bills, though.

I did dodge a bullet with Bell going to KC. I have really needed Gaskin and need him a lil longer.

I wonder if he will get a few more touches with the Jets D sucking against fast RBs including his former teammate

There are actually very few players with real nicknames. I don’t count OBJ or Rojo as nicknames. They are just ways to shorten their names for easier typing.“Sandman”?
why’s every player need a nickname?
Remember Jerry Rice’s nickname? It was Jerry Rice. Now it’s GOAT.
According to the voiceover in Madden he tried to be “flash 80” as a rookie but it never caught on.
I refuse to call Gaskin Sandman. We’ll revisit in 3 years to see how he’s doing & whether he’s earned a nickname.
Now get offa my lawn & turn down that Rap & Roll!

I wouldn't sell low on him, but also wouldn't pass up decent value for dynasty purposes. WR3 seems a bit to be a bit light at this point for a clear cut starting RB (for now).
As mentioned up thread, a big concern about the hot pursuit of Bell is that it points to the desire for a meaningful upgrade over Gaskin.

I would have gone with BarHo personally.On this we agree. It is an upgrade over the lazy abbreviations, BHouse.

It's JohnnyU, dude. He knows Pabst and Schlitz, but is probably a little too long in the tooth for Natural Ice collegiate references.

Ooowee. Gotcha. Colt .45 appears to be a horse, anyway. So much for slumming it. Might as well kick me in the ### and call me Percy.

Mustang! Dang you young'ns need to get off my lawn and do your history lessons instead of fishin' down the the crick all day.

Young'ns? I'm what they call Colt .47. I'm just ign'ant.
But here: A peace offering from what might be JohnnyU's and your generation.

One day when you're old enough I'm gonna sit you youngin's down and tell you about a day back when Metallica didn't sell out to their corporate masters fighting against Napster.
A day when they had a studio sound like drinking a broken glass & razorblade milkshake and a bassist named Cliff who was bas### enough to keep it all together with a mosh pit that actually gave us pause before entering.
Ah, good times.
Now stop giving players nicknames after 3 games!

Points for accuracy?
Poor @barackdhouse - if only he were as cool as Miles Gaskin.
:(
Speaking of, "Gas Can" woulda been a better nickname.
Reminds me of "oil can Boyd" who got his nickname in the best way possible: he earned it. Back in Meridian, Mississippi, "oil" was a nickname for a beer. Dennis Boyd was so often seen with a can of beer in his hand, they just started calling him "Oil Can".

I know about pre black album Metallica. Also I don’t get the issue with a cool nickname. He’s not a nobody. He played pac 10 football and is the starting RB for an NFL team. He’s made it.One day when you're old enough I'm gonna sit you youngin's down and tell you about a day back when Metallica didn't sell out to their corporate masters fighting against Napster.

Meh. He was almost just replaced by Levon Bell. He's a starting running back by default. He hasn't earned a nickname yet. I'm old school like that.

I thought sandman was his nickname in college. Does he have to earn it back once he's in the league league, or do college credentials count? I need answers on this @Hot Sauce Guy

At least 1 season of competence. That's my rule. I shouldn't have to learn a nickname until the following season. Otherwise it's just a head full of nicknames all willynilly and half of the for players who aren't even starting.

Settle down there Grandpa. I like a 3-part harmony as much as the next guy, but this seems like a stretch.

You need to relax, take a deep breath and a shot of your hot sauce. He wasn't given the nickname Sandman after three games in the NFL. He was given/earned the nickname in college, at the University of Washington, where he holds school records for 100-rushing-yard games (26), rush attempts (945), yard per rush (10.4), rushing touchdowns (57), rushes of 50+ yards (10), and all-purpose yards (5,878).One day when you're old enough I'm gonna sit you youngin's down and tell you about a day back when Metallica didn't sell out to their corporate masters fighting against Napster.

How about Lucky Dog and he can became an official endorser for your hot sauce
I agree that this guy has fallen under the radar and should be a good RB2 ROS as long as Howard doesn't steal his TDs.

If he gets me a win this weekend he can have whatever nickname he wants.

So what do people think the impact on Gaskin will be with Tua starting? Will he still throw dump-offs to RB's or will he take off and run when spooked instead?

As a person who picked up Gaskin in almost every league after week 1, I am really interested in the answer to your question.

compelling stuff about his nickname. Good work.
