He looked good today. Like him in the pass game.

He hasn't made a huge impact, but he is contributing. I think he is worth every penny the Jets are paying him.

I didn't go all gaga when they signed him.

He is Shady 2.0 for us. Let's hope he doesn't fumble at the wrong time. :doh!:

This is kind of true, but I think I see it differently. He's definitely not the same STYLE of runner, and I wouldn't at all say that he's more effective overall, but I don't think that the lateral movement is a problem per se. His style is to be patient, look for the lanes to open up, and then hit them fast. If the lanes aren't there, he gets stuck, but if you can give him a little space, he's pretty solid at making guys miss.

He's averaging 4.0 YPC (4.3 for CEH), so overall he's fine for a change-of-pace guy. Anyone who was expecting him to be our feature back for the rest of the year was missing the point.

You know things are good when people are complaining about the playing time of our veteran-minimum backup RB, a former top 3 RB in the league, after we win a game on the road with 4 turnovers against an 8-4 team.

My favorite thing about him (and Clyde) is that they're great at ball security. I never worry about those guys fumbling. I wish they were faster and had some more big play potential, but they churn out tough yards and don't cough up the ball. We can let Mahomes and our other weapons make the big plays. Those guys are really valuable as reliable chain-movers.

They’d be a lot more effective if our run blocking wasn’t bottom 3.

I imagine the way CEH and Bell are used in the offense will look much different once the regular season is complete

Agreed. That’s why I don’t give them too much grief.

Clyde does an incredible job of churning out extra yardage after contact. Bell’s hesitation kind of annoys me, but he does a decent job with what he’s given.

12-1 says that IDGAF about who plays or how much :)

I think they are working him in nice & easy. I believe there is going to be a game where he breaks out.

Do you understand how little we paid for him? He's a backup.

I know it feels like a waste of a down. But the reality is they have to run the ball just to show the defense they will. Gotta keep them honest. :thumb:

yeah, imma go with the 12-1 after 13 games thing is pretty good! As long as they win, i dont give a shit.

Yep, that 5 yard run on 1st down set up the 44 yd TD pass to Reek on the next play. You get that Safety cheating up just a bit to help stop a potential run on 2nd & 5, and Hill blows right by that coverage.
