Who was the best RB today?

[CyCloned]

I thought all the guys had their moments. Kene was pretty good before he got hurt. Lang had some nice runs. Hall looked good at times. Croney showed toughness, but also almost cost the game with a fumble right when he should have had both arms as tight around the ball as he could get them.

 

[DeereClone]

I don’t think any stuck out enough to name a favorite but they all had nice contributions. I think it will be by committee for at least a few more weeks, maybe longer.

 

[CyCrazy]

Lang, Hall had his moments though.

 

[KCClone1]

In the long run it will be Hall. For the next few game it will be a committee and go with who is hot.

I dont know if anyone shined to much today, they all had a moment or 2 here or there. Will need to see as things move forward who continues to improve, and break out more. But I'm not sure the play calling was great for showing a great running. Croney looked good, and seemed to be the one that could get free, but that fumble, OOF!!

Anyone know what’s going on with Jirehl Brock. Surprised he didn’t see the field today.

This season I think they roll Lang and Hall about 50/50

I think Croney earned some plays this year.

Agree, but for now he doesn't look like he is moving at full speed. He's thinking too much. He's a freshman and that will improve. I liked #3 a lot. Hope he's healthy.

Kene, and it wasn't close.

 

[Cardinal and Gold]

Kene came in and was a much needed change of pace back getting to the edge. He was also patient in between tackles and let the play develop. Like a Le’veon Bell. He’s got my vote for today, but I don’t think he will be the main guy all season.

There were five backs that got carries. I'm not sure this is one of the 4 games I use him in.

Edit
I counted Jones in there so only 4 backs.

 

[isuno1fan]

Croney always scares me due to ball security

 

[CapnCy]

Croney most aggressive
Hall overall well rounded
Kene speed on the edge
Lange was quick, but didn't wow


I'd roll do 45/45 Croney/Hall and then some others in the other 10

Wish we could have seen J. Brock

I think going 4 deep at running back is enough. If Brock plays he has to take snaps from one of the other 4 and I’m not sure who you’d take snaps from at this point.

 

[CyGuy5]

Hall. It would have been Croney but the fumble took that away

 

[awd4cy]

Lang I thought, but I thought they all had good moments. Croney probably our best pass blocker tho.

Based on YPC it was Kene, and it was not close. 7.5 YPC and everyone else was at 4.3. Pretty small sample size, as he only got 4 carries, while others all got around a dozen. Hopefully he was no seriously hurt as he does have better speed to the outside than the others. Looked like a shoulder injury of some kind.

Kene is a great "change of pace" guy for < 10 carries per game, and utility type of guy, but I don't see him as an every down back. Also, the question mark of if he can not get banged up.

Yeah, that is pretty much what he is. Would have liked to see him get the last 6 carries today, because he was on a roll.
