No clue where to post some stuff not necessarily team related but could be? Feel free to delete if this belongs somewhere else.



Maxx and Parsons would be nasty. I probably wouldn’t pay the price though.

I didn’t want him back then &, obviously still don’t. He was another CEO HC, like Gruden. Plus, he was never as good as people said. He’s good for a couple years before his schtick rubs everyone the wrong way. From players, to front office, to owners, etc, then the team starts losing &, gets fired/part ways.
Not me I was very against hiring him
I feel more vindicated every week

Were they calling for the pistol formation or going out of the shotgun?

Fun Fact: Alvin Kamara has never had a 1000-yard rushing season.

I don't think anyone here would question that prime Kamara was an elite RB. Probably one of the most balanced, dual-threat running backs to ever play. Generational contact balance.

I mention him because a player on our team reminds me of him.

Jeanty's numbers show a resemblance of Alvin, but he needs to cut back on the drops in receiving. I love him on screens.

But his running has not been great, 4 of 6 games averaging under 3 YPC.

Seems the all purpose back description fits him.

I'd try Washington as the primary back and see where it goes.

Fun fact. Kamara was a 3rd round pick

Kamara looked a lot better running the ball in his heyday than Jeanty has so far. Still thinking we’ll see a much better version of him.

Kamara comparison doesn't quite feel right for me. Kamara lacks the power Jeanty has. Jeanty lacks Kamara's first step. Jeanty has a far higher ceiling as a primary back than Kamara ever had.

For me, Jeanty is reminiscent of Doug Martin. He looked fantastic last year with little to no help from his OL, and I don't think we've seen his ceiling yet. Martin also had a tough time staying healthy.

Jeanty's 266 rushes last year dwarf most of Kamara's seasons. The only time he came close Kamara had 240 attempts at the same exact 3.7 YPC as Jeanty. He never was asked to carry an offense the way Jeanty is, and defenses gameplanned for Kamara accordingly.

Every once in awhile a xitter comment section is good for a chuckle.

Not comparing them as types of players, just saying that Kamara looked like he had more juice running than Jeanty has had so far in my opinion. I’m chalking it up to injury and terrible run blocking for now.

Too late. I have already printed it up, lamented it and put in the official 16 to 88 desk top drawer for future reference.

Laminated.
If you lamented it you would have misgivings
Ah, whatever
