NateDawg Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hue Jackson said Duke should get more looks all last year. He didn’t. Hue said Josh Gordon wouldn’t start game 1. He did. Lip-service. There are many examples of what Hue said and the product saying a different story. He’s the HC. Things don’t happen beyond his control. If they do, that shows the level of belief our assistants have in his competence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas5737 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I love Duke. He plays hard. He doesn't have special quickness though so he isn't going to be a good gadget player. Solid do it all type player but I wouldn't expect him to do the things Hill does or Kamara or anything close to those guys. He did show he could make an over the shoulder catch last week though, unlike Callaway. I'd like to see how Callaway does with Baker with decent footing where he isn't falling every play before I judge. He failed miserably last week but I think it gets better. He is certainly more explosive than Duke and can make more happen with his quickness, assuming he catches the ball and works on his awareness.

Kiwibrown Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Dukes special physical asset is his fluidity in moving, he has a good 3 cone 6.88 On the field it translate to good routes and being good in space. He is good at making people miss, which we know. I also think he has great body control and balance, which are underrated traits. With his hands I think he is a top tier third down back.

NateDawg Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Duke has 21 touches a quarter of way through the year, fresh off of a 3/$15 million contract. Chubb has 10 carries at over 14 yards a pop the first four games along with two Madden-esque TDS. Hue Jackson is still employed, with a 2-33-1 record. I’m not a football genius, but I believe I’m living in bizzaro-world with the football decisions going on around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if he'll be better in every facet (passing game), but I like him just as much as a runner...throw in the value, and he's a steal.

I felt like this could be the case before the draft--felt Barkley was overrated and still do--but didn't have the gonads to declare it out and proud. I also thought Rashaad Penny might be better than Barkley too, so there is that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris_kapsner Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Chubb is a unique talent. He'll be a top tier RB from a production standpoint by the end of next season...if there is a coaching change and they are willing to just play the better players instead of having their favorite's.

It’s not about favorites, it’s about preferring an experienced vet who is a capable pass blocker next to a rookie QB. Chubb will be fine, but his pass pro leaves a lot to be desired right now. It’s a long season and early in the year. I’m sure all of the backs will get their shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 CHUBB LOOKED GANG BUSTERS TODAY. I am changing my comp from a young Jamal Lewis to a less shifty, more powerful Zeke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4th down QB run play was the dumbest thing to run IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
