At least we don't have to worry about him kicking some girl in the butt outside a hotel room.

True. So there's that, even if he fails to live up to his #1 draft pick status.

OK guys, we have to start looking elsewhere when it comes to CEH. The running lanes were open but he wasn't hitting them and was pussy footing

Its becoming a bit of a concern, yes.

Its a long season though, I'm giving it time.

Lets not jump the gun on CEH..he missed some holes today..but he ran hard and got some important yards..

i think he will be a factor in the passing game going forward. ..

we always have Derrick Gore if not :-)

Playing Cleveland makes me bitter about losing Kareem Hunt. CEH is a decent back but he’s not Hunt. We could use that kind of attitude on offense.

There was a bit of predictability to our run game.

Give credit to the Browns who seemed to guess correctly most of the time.

Hopefully Reid will do less of the early down run/later downs pass mix.

He looked like shit today, very disappointing.
[Reply]

I'm confused and disappointed.

It's early for sure. But I kinda feel like he might be moving backward a bit.

In any case, it might take time for the OL to gel and for him to get comfortable with that. I still think he has tons of potential.

What concerns me more than his rushing is his complete absence in the passing game.

Everyone but Kelce and Hill kinda forgotten.

Yep. Granted, he hasn't really been given the chance yet.

There may be a reason for that

If you play other RBs or think he's not the guy that is a god awful draft pick.

Even Hunt had a few games where he got stonewalled at the line, but where him and a healthy Damien Williams made up for that was how clutch they were as receivers out of the backfield when Kelce and Hill were blanketed. This was supposed to be what separated CEH from the other RB's, but we just have not seen that yet. Hunt and DWill were also aces as blockers for Patrick in the backfield, and that might be the most concerning part of CEH's game so far.

Alot of it is because they pull him in obvious pass downs because apparently they don't trust his blitz pickup.
