I like him a lot, but I don’t disagree with anything you said either. I think his ability to get upfield is a great trait for this offense, but he doesn’t break tackles or make people miss. If he gets more than is blocked, it’s because he outran angles. 

I predict the Dolphins draft him. 

The guys at the end of the video compared him to Chuba Hubbard and Lamar Miller. 2 guys who dont have great play strength. But when the hit the right gap, they can break long runs.

Someone the other day brought up CJ Spiller- this is CJ Spiller without the pass catching. And, maybe a fumbling issue.

But we should😭

Not disagreeing the punter position needs to be upgraded, but "should" draft one is a loaded word.

In the past 20 years on average, there have been 4-5 draft picks that have been classified as "ST", which would include kickers and punters (I'm not sure anyone classified as a long-snapper in college would ever get drafted).  Does having a high average yardage per punt in college necessarily make you a draft-worthy player? 

The Eagles drafted Alex Henery in 2011.  I might argue an elite PK has more value than an elite P.  They drafted Mitch Berger in the 6th round in 1994, and someone named Pumpy Tudors in 1992.  What a name -- I'll need @FranklinFldEBUpper to comment on whether he remembers that guy at all.  He was an 11th round pick who didn't make the roster.  Feagles punted through 1993, then Berger a bit in 1994 and Tom Hutton from 1995-98.

Please don't mess this up Nike.

Maybe it’s just me being selfish, but I wouldn’t even be entirely happy with that. I want the silver pants and black outlines around the numbers. 
 

My sources tell me someone is back today.

God, would take every one of them on this team right now......I still can't believe they didn't win anything as a group because as a group, they were the nastiest defense I have ever seen.

I see a video of him running a go route at the pro day. Did they actually have him work out as a WR?

doesnt impress me much. but good enough I wouldnt complain in the late rounds.

I think that size/speed shows up big time on the field. Arm tackles are useless against him and when he gets a crease he’s gone.

Also looks pretty good receiving out of the backfield (but not a dynamic guy who can line up in the slot).

Probably needs to learn to not bounce outside so much, but that’s basically every CFB running back.

He’s young too I believe. Only a sophomore. So the upside is there.

This is probably the green we will get from Nike since theyve already made it.

With that speed, of course hes going through arm tackles. But he lacks leg drive and play strength.

He needs a weight room bad. 

Yes, hes young so maybe theres a chance. But hes a 2 year project. Very late pick or UDFA.

As of now, you can give him 3-5 carries and hope he breaks one of them for 40+ yards. Thats about it.

now we got an angry emojo? it appears everyone is mad at me.

This guy was heading toward a monster season before he got hurt. Definitely worth a 7th round flier.

Yup those Kelly greens in the pic are the 60s Kelly green jerseys and pants.

Gotta go with the silver pants and black outline around the numbers.

Black shoes would be awesome as well.

Board will get better today!

I assume this will be the Kelly green since it’s already used by Nike.

Byron Evans was robbed as well, he should be in that pic, that he never made a pro bowl is a crime.

It will be interesting to see how the numbers look.

Welcome back @just relax

Quick message, no intent for drama or interrupting football discussion, after this carry on.

Thank you @mattwill for reaching out and just a little over an hour ago, @just relax registered again.

People asked for the confused react to be removed, others asked for angry, we can do both if people want.  Just go to the RnR topic and say what you want, let the people's voices be heard.  

Finally, since the main problem posters are gone now, I want to be clear:  you no longer have them as an excuse. If you claimed you were just reacting to them and got sucked in (although yes people on "the other side" did get warnings as well) then now you don't have that to hide behind. 

Everyone is responsible for their own posts and replies to posts.  Read the pinned guidelines.  Respect each other.  Recognize if you're crossing a line and step back. 

Carry on, times yours.

I knew the kelly green would get me one of those new fancy angry emojis
