All the talking heads are going to look like ****ing idiots for hyping the Browns and their awful pass rush come Week 1.

Yeah that was ****ing terrible on both counts. That route was comically bad, and Bolton looked like he forgot he had legs

No clue wtf Bolton was doing.

JOK does scare me, but he's a rookie and so I have recency bias from the draft.

Poor Wharton. Dude has been on the receiving end of Smith's best reps all camp long.

Feel like Wharton could get 6-8 sacks with all the attention Jones and Reed are going to get.

I dn,

We need someone to stop the run game.

I think so too. I love that DL on passing downs with Jones-Reed-Wharton-Clark.

Dante84 MVP of this thread today

Is that Todd Haley?

I had to take a second look. I think it's the Dline coach.

I was pursuing the Chiefs subreddit the other day and several mentioned how slow CEH looks so far and judging by a couple of the clips today he does look slow. I know he was never a burner but any concerns from anyone?

Powell is in trouble it sounds like.

Why, in the name of Kay Adams' Rubber Double Dildo don't they place a microphone that picks up the questions?

FAX

:facepalm:

Don’t mess with Stone Cold you ****ing rookie.

The secret to ball security is double gassers.

And lots of them.

FAX THE DAMN SERIOUS ABOUT BALL SECURITY

The WR coach just praised him in the presser, and it came across as genuine. Said there's some details he needs to work on but he's growing and learning.

Scary

The only thing I've heard is that he has more of a burst.

Exactly. And he looked good on Saturday.

Maybe I'm off, but I thought he looked....just ok?

He hit a good hole the OL created early, but got tackled 1 on 1 by a linebacker in the open field.

I dunno.

Agreed. He might just need to change his mindset a bit. With last years OL, he needed to just take what he could get on every run. He can afford to be a little more patient this year.

I was speaking specifically to his burst hitting the hole, but yea you’d like to see him break that tackle. Still looked good and ready to improve upon last year.

We've trotted turds out like ware and west and were complaining about clyde whos shown elite change of direction?

Yeah, he looked fine.

I'd like to see a little more. Hopefully.

I am not complaining just making an observation admittingly from very few vids from TC. He had a good run the other night.

I think for me it is more noticeable when he is receiving.

The important thing to take away is his first contact was like five yards downfield not three yards before the line of scrimmage.

He's never going to be a burner but he's going to have a high ypc

We are gonna clown fools this season.

Love me some EB. He's not subtle and doesn't candy-coat it. He is right.

I just want him to improve those hands and get his protections down. All else I am good with.

Seriously?

CEH was in or near the top half of the league in yards after contact, rushing attempts per broken tackle, and YAC.

I've never been a fan of his skillset. I think we'd benefit more from a guy who had breakaway speed.

CEH is a pretty good grinder, though. I feel mostly confident that he can gain 2 when we need 1, which is extremely useful in its own right.

Idk. I thought Damien did pretty well at both of those, but you're not likely to find those types of guys frequently. Even when you do, like D Will, he's got other issues (durability).

I mean, if we had the draft to do over Jonathan Taylor was the clear choice.


Like if you don't agree, you are being a homer. That said, CEH is being under-rated right now.

The two silver linings I remember from the Bucs SB loss were Patrick Mahomes and CEH. Both those guys were fighting for every inch, CEH consistently made something out of nothing in that game.

I'm excited for him running behind the new line.

There’s nothing homerish about disagreeing with that. CEH is a better fit for this offense.

Taylor fumbles a lot and isn’t very good in the passing game. Not to mention the mileage and injury concerns.

Now if you can get a “do over”, the best thing to do would be to take a different position and get Gibson.

Clyde is a good player. Mahomes wanted him so everyone can STFU.

Taylor didn't fumble a lot though and was great in the passing game. That narrative I pushed around a lot as well.



It's okay to admit he's better. He is.

BS.

Jonathan Tayler had 1000 carries in college. He had more carries than any of the other workhorses to come out of Wisconsin since Ron Dayne. Pretty much all of them have broken down at some point.

Not even considering CEH, there's zero chance I would have spent a high draft pick on Taylor.

He didn’t fumble “a lot”, but it’s a problem he had in the past and it showed up a couple times again his rookie year.

Taylor was playing behind arguably the best OL in the league.

CEH was playing behind one of the worst run blocking OL’s in the league.

Well you would have been wrong lol

If you could do it over, don't take a RB that early.

Those stats makes you think he is unquestionably better?

Or this

CEH is a way better fit for this offense than Taylor. CEH is gonna have a good year.

Taylor was better in almost every way you can look at it. I happened to quote a fantasy site but who in their right mind would argue CEH was the better choice?


Taylor dominated, he didn't fumble nearly as much as we thought he would and he caught the ball way better than I thought possible.

CEH is good, and will play better this season. But it's insane to ignore what Taylor did last season.

Would you say that Jonathan Taylor has world class speed?
