James Conner

[feltdizz]

I'm not sure it's true many here said he was washed up. I think the concensus was that given his unavailability rate he wasn't worth a big second contract

I think most here liked and respected him

and I think the FO wasn’t happy with his last injury being caused by riding an ATV

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

This doesn’t look correct but…

Steelers have run the ball 132 times total in 6 games

AZ has run the ball 245 times in 8 games

Steelers 22/g
Cards just over 30/g

And the Cards have a QB who has over 6/g while Ben has 8 total for the season. Factor that in and not too different.

I think 6 more runs per game is significant.

that’t 100+ more attempts over 17 games.

TD machine for the Cardinals ... 8 on the year so far.

Many thought he was washed up ... amazing what a diff a good OL and offensive system can make

His longest run of the season is 18 yards and he is running at 3.8 ypc. He is hardly making waves.

Most of the difference would not be designed runs, but QB scrambles by Murray, which are essentially broken plays. Nothing we can do about that because we don't have a QB who turns protection breakdowns into runs.

on one of his TDs, I liked the way he got himself small and shot thru a tiny hold between two of his linemen.
that's something I rarely saw here. he hesitated too much before hitting an opening while a steeler.

of course, that's once again nothing to do with the coaching aspect of the game. amirite???????

as a short yardage/goal line back. I think his numbers aren't too bad.

a few fumbles or failures in key situations and the AZ fans might start calling him 'the bus'

Hopefully for them Kyler Murray can tackle

he can definitely catch them from behind with his speed

Yeah.. I don’t know how many designed runs he has per game vs scrambles but O think the threat of him running helps
the D

and of course taking off when nothing is there is also a benefit.

damn shame the AZ coaches lost that game last night with that INT.

[Northern_Blitz]

Pretty sure that one was on Tomlin, not the AZ coaches

[Captain Lemming]

damn shame the AZ COACHES lost that game last night with that INT.

Usually the following is said sarcastically. This time it is sincere.

Fixed that for you.

Don't want that sweet sweet sarcasm missed.

(Yes I know I'm an always shouting "CAPAHOLIC" but I just gotta make that geat point stand out.)

if that were a tomlin coached team they would have won by 50. obviously, on long blades of grass, if you will

Well said. Gone are the days of Decastro, Pouncy, Big Al, and Muchnak as the coach. Their replacements clearly are not good. How else can you explain Conner?
