Some fun here. Edwards-Helaire rushed for 1,415 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior .. all-purpose yards -- receiving (55 receptions, 453 yards) and kick returner (KEY) 10 returns, 214 yards pic.twitter.com/3Duq1jjy6J
Holy offense Bat Man. I love Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He is best Rb in the draft. Watkins and Hill deep. Kelce in the middle. And Edwards-Helaire underneath. Good Luck defenses.
Brett Veach told Andy Reid to watch some Clyde Edwards-Helaire film and told Reid you’ll see Brian Westbrook. Reid watched. Then got back to Veach and said he’s better than Westbrook.
Why is he even flat-footed there? What is he seeing that's causing him to hesitate?
He's got nothing but daylight to his left. Three defenders in front of him but three hats on them. That's a win all day. 90% of starting backs in this league take that for at least 5-6 yards.

These are my thoughts. A mental block. That gymnist had a similar mental block. Even Mavorick had it.
His injury still makes me cringe. fuck that. [Reply]
I remember mentioning it at the time - the run game looked better after he got hurt. His vision really has been a problem.
He's become something of a guess hitter out there. He acts like he's deciding where a hole is going to open and if it doesn't, he just smashes into where he expected it to be without looking for a plan B. Combine that with a tendency to tip-toe into the line and he's almost completely ineffective.
It's not great. There needs to be improvement there or he needs to start losing snaps. [Reply]

He actually looked great in the SB when he got his opportunities.
This really didn’t start till this year.
It was revealed he had gallbladder surgery in the offseason, and he had that ankle injury in the preseason. Other than a new OL with some potential changes to the running scheme, I can’t think of what else it could be. [Reply]

Even Darwin found and hit the holes...before he did something inexplicable. [Reply]

I believe so. He has been hurt alot but that goes with the position. I was mentioning yesterday we needed to see more of Mckinnon and if his poor play continues bring up Gore. [Reply]

CEH averaged over 4 YPC last year behind the 31st run blocking OL.
He was fine to good last year all things considered, and he really started to hit his stride towards the end, because like I said, 2 of his best games were against the Saints and the SB (his last 2).
He hasn’t been the same this year. There’s a clear difference and of course you’re the only idiot that can’t see it. [Reply]
