There it is!! Great drive for him and HerbI’d like to see Ladd get back on track.
5-77 with a TD so far and should on pace for 1,000 yards after tonight.There it is!! Great drive for him and Herb
He's now on pace for 994.5 yards (I think)5-77 with a TD so far and should on pace for 1,000 yards after tonight.
Sickens me to my core.the halftime talkers and the halftime graphics were all about the WGA at tight end for the Chargers, yet nary a word about McConkey.
why is this relevant? they each had EXACTLY the same stat kune: 5 catches for 77 yards and a touchdown.
this is how the Caste System is perpetuated. the White athlete is ignored while the black athlete is hyped.
Don’t you know? Whites simply don’t have “the juice”Amazing how heights don’t matter for Black Players anymore. None of the 3 mentioned 5’8 backs are burners either. “Weird”
to be fair, the laughably named Nyheim Hines did run a 4.39 at the Combine back in 2018 and had a personal-best of 10.34 over 100-meters for the NC State track team. but other than a strong junior year in college, he’s done nothing except fumble (a LOT): 7 fumbles over his first 6 seasons in the NFL.Amazing how heights don’t matter for Black Players anymore.

I stand corrected. So Hines is still living off his underwear Olympics performance. Upside still not tapped in to LOLto be fair, the laughably named Nyheim Hines did run a 4.39 at the Combine back in 2018 and had a personal-best of 10.34 over 100-meters for the NC State track team. but other than a strong junior year in college, he’s done nothing except fumble (a LOT): 7 fumbles over his first 6 seasons in the NFL.
Yeah McConkey just blew by him. I think the corner expected a safety to be backing him up. Lack of situational awareness.The cornerback that McConkey beat like a rented mule was a #3 overall pick in the draft a few years back......
To be fair height matters for **** for a running back. Truthfully, taller ones are typically easier to handle (with some notable exceptions). Shorter guys will typically have better lateralAmazing how heights don’t matter for Black Players anymore. None of the 3 mentioned 5’8 backs are burners either. “Weird”
Don’t disagree. Was getting at there is no perfect size for a White RB! 5’8 and they call you tiny(Danny Woodhead) 6’1 and they want you as a battering ram.(Line, Luepke, Konrad, etc).To be fair height matters for **** for a running back.

Agility, quickness and burst and contact balance.
That being said a guy like Borghi, at 5’9”, is the prototype for the modern dual-threat back. He could have and would have been unstoppable if he was given a chance. He wasn’t and it’s a damn shame as he gave up after his stint in th XFL.

Also non White QBs can be under 6 foot no problem. Midget Murray, Midget Young and Midget Gabriel.
With him and Dalton going this week we have at least a temporary bump in White QBs.https://nfltraderumors.co/falcons-qb-kirk-cousins-expected-to-start-in-week-8/
Sounds like Cousins is starting this week.
