Rosenburger 71 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Just stay down Rocky. Whoever drafted Drake should have Edmonds, and Edmonds has been better. Let him run with it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edmonds has done much more with the limited touches, let him run with it. If he fails, let Drake come back and run for 80 yards with no catches and 3 goalline TD's run in or thrown by Murray 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FinsUp24 519 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Was waiting all year for Maxx Williams to come back to provide a big boost in the blocking department. He returns this week to help Edmonds 🥺 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But to be clear, I think his impact is significant. He graded out as the #1 blocking TE in the league last year, and the Cardinals haven’t been able to open up any holes on the edges. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blocking tight ends can mean a world 9f difference for a run game. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rasrar 255 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Any chance Drake comes back Week 10 against Buffalo? Edmonds looked pretty bad running in between the tackles. It's honestly what I expected. He has a had a few big runs this year from empty boxes with opposing defenses playing the pass and everyone was ready to anoint him an RB1 with Drake out. It's a joke. Drake hasn't been anything special either, but to me, he possess far more upside than Edmonds when healthy. Any shot he plays this coming week? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vthokie3 1,371 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Honestly neither drake or edmonds have much of a ceiling with Murray running as well as he does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blazehound 155 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Edmonds ishing the bed yesterday was a good result for Drake owners. He’s clearly not a lead back. I expect Drake to go back to normal usage upon his return. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Outside of Hopkins, everyone else is just there to facilitate that dream. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know that yesterday showed that Edmonds can't be a lead back... if anything it suggested that the lead back in ARI is only there to be a threat to run for 1-4 yards up the gut, so that Kyler has the lanes to get his big-chunk gains. And he'll also be taking most of the short-yardage TD's too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YoungDro 21 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 As others have said, Kyler takes nearly all the upside from the rbs here. He's getting basically all the rushing tds and that offensive line can't run block at all. Kirk, Hopkins, and Murray are the fantasy pieces to have here with Drake and Edmonds being the secondary pieces Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MingusDew 407 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 As many have suggested, this isn't really a "which back is better than the other" issue. The RB1 in this offense is simply schemed to be a downhill, run-him-into-the-pile tool. The COP back will get passing work and all of the high-value run plays will go to Kyler. It sucks as I still think that both Drake and Edmonds are good players. At least yesterday's game makes it less likely that Drake's touches will go down once he returns.

He’s clearly not a lead back. I expect Drake to go back to normal usage upon his return. So, 50-75 yards, .25 td/per game. Meaning RB 2/3 unless and until Kyler gets popped and stops running - which probably won't happen based on his elusiveness. Bust, and it's too bad because he might not actually be a poor skill player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dropshadows 269 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 You have to give the Dolphins some credit here, too. One thing I never thought I'd hear is the announcers saying that the Cardinals are missing Drake and his ability to run through the tackles, when trying to convert a 3rd & 1 or 4th & 1. I'll take any sigh of relief I can get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
