42 total yards rushing, a long of 24. Big ouch!

I picked him up in Fantasy this week I have 3 guys like that who could at some point get way more carries I have him, RJ Harvey and Benson. Harvey is the biggest disappointment because other than 1 50 yard run he's been pretty bad and Dobbins has taken the regular job in Denver that they drafted Harvey to take.

Benson leads us in yards and YPA but again largely from one 50 yard run.

I don't think Skattebo won the job last week but he definitely helped his cause to get more carries.

I’ve said it in the game thread.

Love Conner, his toughness, resilience, etc. Hope he has a healthy recovery.


But


I am looking forward to see Benson as the primary back now. We desperately needed some speed on offense.

Nothing annoyed me more than seeing yards left on the field because Conner’s lack of speed.

Worst miss of a pick for us in the draft. With him there at the top of the 4th, we should have given anything to go up and get him. Hell, end of the 3rd.

Not only is he a beast, but the financial benefit would have been HUGE.
Woulda given this team some semblance of heart.

There is just an absolute absence of it everywhere outside Calais and Buddah.

I too am looking forward to more lateral dancing, no situational awareness, and the inability to get 2 yards when needed

We see very different players. Maybe it's the offense that requires you to bully the opposition
I guess we’ll see.

Conner’s longest run ever with us is 53 yards.

Benson’s longest run with us is 52 yards with significantly less carries. Wouldn’t be shocked if he has a couple more than that this season.


Again, I love & appreciate Conner’s toughness & all that stuff, but I’ve repeatedly said this team lacked speed on offense for the 2nd year in a row.

Imagine jumping into a thread celebrating a good game by local favorite Skat to crap on people who like him, and talk up Benson. Weird energy.
