I'm saying if he was in the 170s last yearSo he has to be 190lb to get 5 to 10 touches in COLLEGE? Maaaaan I think we're the only team that overthinks and underutilize SPEED.

You're not wrong. I just didn't understand the point of him having to be 190lbs just to get 5-10 touches a game.Not necessarily but look at the other playmakers on offense. Damien Martinez will receive the lions share of carries/touches at RB. Then you have Ajay Allen, then Fletcher when he comes back.
Now I completely agree that Chris Johnson is in a class by himself when it comes to the ability to create explosive plays with his Olympic level speed. I think we start by giving him 5 to 10 touches and watch how he does. In the event that he turns into some unreal big play TD machine and college superstar then you obviously reevaluate things lol. We'll see. I'm optimistic. Cautiously optimistic.
I would THINK so BUT... We're talking about just getting him the ball. Doesn't have to be carries as a running back.Is there a 180 lb running back who gets more than 10 carries a game in P4 football? I’m not being sarcastic. That seems tiny.
Yeah I get it that he was small. I'm not saying pound him to the ground every game. Just saying all 5-10 touches doesn't have to be at running back. It's on Mario and Dawson to find simple ways to use his speed as an advantage.I'm saying if he was in the 170s last year
Yes CWH did look better this spring and in the spring game.that is what I said, Wheatley looked better but this board can figure out what Mario cant. Dont worry, they have the playbooks they learned from madden that will work.
We had 3 wrs above 600 yards and a true rb who was hurt run for 500 yards on 5 yards a carry while playing with a complete bonehead of a qb. But you are right. They can’t are incompetent because Chris Johnson can’t figure out how to be a rb.Mario, Dawson, and mirabel don’t have a creative bone in their body. Don’t expect much…. Expect any carries he does get to be between the tackles and all of us on here will be *****ing about it.
Mario’s comment at acc media day which says it all: “the way we run those guys we need 3 backs”
Lyle will be back 4 before end of season
We went 7-6 but thank you for providing those ground breaking statistics in a 7 win seasonWe had 3 wrs above 600 yards and a true rb who was hurt run for 500 yards on 5 yards a carry while playing with a complete bonehead of a qb.

what does that have to do with creativity? The problem is you guys are fans who think you know more than you do because you play franchise mode on madden. Kind of guys who call into talk radio and say "you know what they need to do" I want this kid to succeed but anyone with eyes sees this kid is struggling. Lingard, Brashard, Trayone Gray, etc how many times do I have to watch this movie.We went 7-6 but thank you for providing those ground breaking statistics in a 7 win season
You haven't given one reason why it's unrealistic to expect Chris Johnson to contribute. I'll hang up and listen.what does that have to do with creativity?

I forgot this is how it works here. No matter what Martinez, fletcher, Ajax or Lyle do. fans will still talk about Chris Johnson.You haven't given one reason why it's unrealistic to expect Chris Johnson to contribute. I'll hang up and listen.
I don't disagree with you. We should get him the ball on jetsweeps, counters, bubble screens, tunnel screens, jailbreak screens, reverses, wheel routes, swing passes, flares, sweeps to the field side, direct snaps, wildcat and even 9 routes. Also PR and maybe KR. Did I miss anything?You're not wrong. I just didn't understand the point of him having to be 190lbs just to get 5-10 touches a game.
He has a skill set that none of those other 4 have. What point are you attempting to make?I forgot this is how it works here. No matter what Martinez, fletcher, Ajax or Lyle do. fans will still talk about Chris Johnson.
whats his skillset? he has no skillset, he has elite speed.He has a skill set that none of those other 4 have. What point are you attempting to make?
Just need him much stronger than last year, and ease his snap counts up over time. But 5 to 10 is a good start for a smaller backYou're not wrong. I just didn't understand the point of him having to be 190lbs just to get 5-10 touches a game.
Still time left to delete this.whats his skillset? he has no skillset, he has elite speed.
Just the track record statistically of his offenses where he’s calling the plays and not Dana Holgorsen. The numbers aren’t pretty.Out of curiosity, what do you really know about Dawson?
I've seen a few express their feelings about him, especially not positive
I don't really know a lot, outside of one season.
So what is it that you don't like?
That's fair, I really didn't think last season was a great measure, especially with TVD struggles.Just the track record statistically of his offenses where he’s calling the plays and not Dana Holgorsen. The numbers aren’t pretty.
I’m not football-savvy enough to tell you the specifics on Xs and Os. I’m just going off numbers.
