RB what is Keims plan?

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

This sort of a start:

All that says is guys ranked higher are better run blockers. Doesn’t really state whether Hudson is a good run blocker. But yeah, it was the only thing I could find also.

My sleuthing has paid off!

Hudson's individual performance actually improved significantly, and his PFF run-blocking grade jumped from 59.5 to 72.7.

Per PFF, Hudson hasn’t skipped a beat all year long. He has a 73.6 overall grade on 949 snaps, having only been penalized once this year. Hudson’s grades for pass and run blocking sit at over 70.0 in 2020. Perhaps, Hudson’s dominance has not been appropriately honored because he plays for the Raiders.

I can't help but think that we might look back and remember this as the draft we passed on Najee Harris, like we did AP all those years ago

relax. We will sign him to an overly inflated 2 yr fully guaranteed deal in 2031...

Well done. Looks like his run blocking is well behind his pass blocking. But likely still superior to what we’ve had.

 

[Garthshort]

I'm guessing that our RB depth chart (Conner, Edmonds, Ward and Benjamin) will not be the same when we start the season. So imo it doesn't make much sense complaining about it now. You'll have plenty of time to complain about it as we approach Week #1.

 

[cardjunkie]

On one play?

Brain fart.

 

[Carolinacacti]

Cardinals Defense went old school to stop the run, doesn't mean the offense has to do the same.

Mason Cole grades:

Run: 62.9
Pass: 46.1
Overall : 54.4

Some team will have to cut a decent RB at some point and SK will need to acquire them.

Relying on other team's cuts after the main portion of free agency and the draft is completely over is definitely talk reminiscent of the "same ol' Cardinals" era.

Amazing we're back to that point.

We are talking about acquiring our 3rd string RB. The draft always creates roster churn so it's not a seldom used strategy.

I'm not concerned about our 3rd RB, I'm concerned about our #1.

 

[Harry]

There are always RBs available throughout the season. This is not a major limitation on success.

 

[Cardiac]

I'm not concerned about our 3rd RB, I'm concerned about our #1.

So I've read from you about 1000 times. I would prefer a stronger RB room but it's not nearly as desperate a picture as you paint.

2020

AZ: 7th. in rushing - 2237 (4.7)

Pitt: 32nd. in rushing - 1351 (3.6)

I'll bet that AZ in 2021 outrushes Pitt with Najee Harris.

1. Take away Kyler's rushing and reconsider that.
2. Now we have their RB, lol.

Again the counting the QB rushes. Shocking rothkisberger didn’t match kyler!

Rushing is rushing.

The Seattle teams didn't subtract Russell Wilson's yardage when they were leading the league...if you had they wouldn't have lead the league!

Yep nobody ever discounts the ravens QB rushing stats when they say what a great rushing team they are?

I can’t get over the fact you guys don’t understand the difference between being able to run the ball effectively from the rb position and from the QB position. Like when you need a crucial yard. Or when you’re trying to run out the clock or grind the clock down and the other team knows you want to run. It’s just not the same.

yes, technically in the record books they count the same. And in the game they each move the ball the same distance. But the context of how they are gained and a teams ability to do it at will is where they differ. If you can’t understand the difference it’s no use talking to y’all about it.

We all understand it, but it's part of having a QB who can also run the ball, they add to the rushing attack.

Hmm, that’s an interesting way of wording it. And I’d agree. They add to it. But they shouldn’t be counted on as a primary driver of it. Because it can’t be counted on in the same a good rb-based rushing (think Cleveland or Tennessee) attack can be.

 

[juza76]

More then looking at the total yardage where Murray has a lot do in that, I would look at our inability to convert short third downs
Our line is a bit overrated, when the defense knew we had to run, they didn't give any chance to let us getting couple yards, most of the time drake was tackled for a loss

 

[WisconsinCard]

Drake is not a tough inside runner tho. He would almost always try to break it outside and protect himself. Maybe because he didn't trust that the hole would be there... Who knows.
