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.
If he has to go to IR I hope Veach and co arent stupid enough to think Williams, Mckinnon and Gore are good enough for our run game. Just watching the Browns game and Chubb & Hunt are just a pleasure to watch tbh...so much speed, power and agility. We need a home run hitter who the defense MUST be concerned about..because for all of his skills Clyde just doesn't have that burst. Trading late picks for Marlon Mack or Miles Sanders would be ok..or getting Derrius Guice in FA. Either we need someone new in that RB room imo. [Reply]

NO to trading late picks. They need to overhaul the roster on the defensive side and need ALL the picks they have.
Williams, McKinnon and Gore are an upgrade to CEH anyways. [Reply]
I think he might be the slowest, least explosive RB I have ever seen.. and this team has received heavy contributions from the likes of Darrell Williams, Spencer Ware and Jackie Battle in recent (ish) years.
I don't follow college ball at all, but wtf did our scouting department see in this guy? Whatever it was, it is clearly not translating to this level. [Reply]

Among smaller backs, you may be correct. Obviously, guys like Donnell Bennett and Bam Morris were slower and less explosive. [Reply]

On paper he should've been a monster in this offense. His college tape made it appear like he was tailor made for us. Not like he disappeared against superior competition either. Some of his best games came against the likes of Alabama. [Reply]
The CEH talk today is stupid. Ya'll just looking to pass the blame.
You wanna blame someone for the running game? Blame this offenseive line. They got blown the fuck up last night.
Oh i get it, that's not the popular thing to do so lets not talk about them. They got abused last night. Trey Smith got his shit pushed in. Brown was worked. There was no running room all night.

The o-line fucking sucked last night.
All true, but that doesn't change how small and slow he is... he had a few decent holes last night and barely did anything with them
Never seen a back turn a 10 yard gain into a 4 yard run quite like CEH [Reply]

Ya I wanted to comment on it in the game day thread but everyone is so eager to be right in that CEH is garbage. CEH gets a handoff and his linemen get pancaked into each other right where the hole is suppose to be made and he gets stuffed for no gain and its "CEH IS GARBAGE." Or he swings out wide and his blocker is tunnel visioned on a guy outside and runs right in front of the LB coming free from the inside that tackles him on the edge.
There's no winning for CEH on CP. The guy runs for 7 YPC and its "the 3rd string RB would have gotten more!" [Reply]
