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 they had invested in Clyde what they invested in Darrel (which is to say - nothing), I don't think he'd be here anymore. Frankly, he'd have never have gotten the amount of opportunities he's gotten to this point, or will evidently continue to get.
He's the living embodiment of divestiture aversion.
I don't care what fantasy stats James Conner put up last year.
I don't think I've EVER seen that guy have a single carry where I go, "Wow nice run." CEH has had a few, even if they're just nice and not spectacular.
Just based on the eye test, I think Conner is one of the worst current or former starting RBs still playing in the NFL.
James Conner is basically Mike Cloud with a cancer survival story and more opportunities to fart on the field with his incredible sub-4.0 career YPC. [Reply]
You know guys we can win the Super Bowl with running back by committee the way Andy is doing it. You guys still going knock him when he contributes to winning the Super Bowl? [Reply]
McKinnon is absolutely great and can make teams pay. However the draw back to McKinnon is he is 30yo that's pushing 60 in Running Back years. Although he is still effective but effective as relief pitcher. He is not going hold up 4 quarters and I think Andy is trying save him for the playoffs and he will be fresh that way. Let the younger backs do the work for the brunt of the season.
Clyde would have had better gains had Trey Smith suited up.
McKinnon is an explosive back but he loses his burst the more you play him. [Reply]

I'm not a huge fan of CEH, but this coaching staff does not do him any favors. He will never be an outsize zone RB because of his speed, yet they keep calling it. He's not even a good zone-read RB because of his lack of vision.
Why this team refuses to switch to a primarily gap or power-based run scheme is irritating. They have the line to do it and it fits CEH so much better. [Reply]

I miss the running backs by committee. 1999 was my favorite:
Donnell Bennett
Bam Morris
Rashaan Shehee
Mike Cloud [Reply]
