Needs more carries than Lyle. That’s as far as I’ll go right now.

That’s ridiculous - Lyle played well tonight blocking and catching as well. There is a lot that goes into this. I agree CWH could also play more, but Lyle will be RB2 or 3 by the end of year.

If we dont recover that fumble, you still fell that way?

Yes - it was a freak hit; he was literally covering the ball with two hands right before the impact just at the goal line - I think he was trying to reach or contort for it, but the timing was impeccable. Freak play IMO. Also, Meriweather showed GREAT instincts, athleticism, and awareness on that play.
 
Most fun I had watching a garbage time rb in years. Happy for him and hope he gets a roll moving forward
 
2 has been ***.
0 somehow looks worse this year? Also not a great scheme fit.

CWH should earn RB2/3 type look with that running style. Great scheme fit too.

Now can he erase our garbage IOL in pass pro?

Right. Look good but this doesn’t automatically warrant more playing time lol

Respect, IMO, that’s exactly how you determine snaps. With this set of backs, it’s going to be RB by committee. Who has the hot hand? Let them take a series and see if they continue to produce. RN that hellcat. He should get first look after Fletcher vs Clemson. If he can’t deliver you look at Lyle and Mallory.

Personally, I like Mallory at number two. Kid looks like the complete package and will only get better with more S&C. But CWH lit it up so the others need to earn their snaps back.
 
I'm intrigued to see if he can run with that power against a good DL in short yardage (IOW, do what #6 did before he got hurt).
 
This place is funny. Yes, it was central Michigan. That’s who they were playing. What else do you want him to do? Pringle and Lyle also playing against Central Michigan. If you don’t think he looked better than them against admittedly weak competition, I don’t know what to tell you. At least he didn’t fumble on the gold line.

It doesn’t have to be extreme that all of a sudden he’s gonna be going to the pro bowl. You probably earned some snaps against better competition to see whether or not he can perform that’s it see what happens.
