conner riddley samuels nix

still a pretty dang good stable of horses.

 

Listen to what Pouncey said had Conner not have got sick he would have been a 1st rounder .Look at the College numbers.https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/leveon-bell-1.html https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/james-conner-1.html

When you look at those Conner actually had a lot more TD'S than Bell. Conner 56 total, Bell 34 ...Conner actually had a much higher YPC average with a 5.6 compared to Bells 5.0 ... I see no reason that Conner can't be just as valuable to the Team as Bell was... 1 could argue his style of being a 1 cut runner might lead to more big plays and fewer negative runs ...

I expect Conner to play very well ....

 

Ben agrees, says his offense will be fine without bell:

Ben Roethlisberger says the Steelers' offense will be just fine if Le'Veon Bell continues his holdout and James Conner starts in the backfield.

 

Ok connor is the next Zeke elliot.

 

He very well could be...

 

Minus the off field stuff, of course.

 

he dont have to be anyone but james conner the steelers starting RB.

 

I am eager to see how they use Conner riddley and samuels all in the passing game..

 

Connor Ridley and Samuels all rotating and getting reps might be greater than one Leveon Bell

Connor Ridley Samuels > Leveon Bell ?? maybe and a lot cheaper and financially healthier for the team as a whole

 

Not going that far. I think he can be solid but Zeke is a hof talent. I dont see hall from connor but I see very good.

 

Pretty sure Bell was one of the best RBs at avoiding negative plays so I doubt that happens. For sure we could see more long runs as last year Bell simply did not have any.

 

I seen this team win two Super Bowls with a guy that was undrafted out UNC.

 

He very well could be. Compare Conner and Bell's best years in college.

Lev Bell
382 carries 1793 yards 4.7 average 12 TDs

James Conner
298 carries 1765 yards 5.9 average 26TDs

Whos to say Conner cant come in and put up monster numbers like Zeke or Lev do?

 

It’s Connor’s time to shine. Make every one stop asking when Bell is going to show up.

 

I like to see the 3WR, 1TE, 1 RB package used a lot versus the Browns this weekend. Then use it to attack Garrett. I motion James across the formation from beside Gilbert to next to next to AV then run a shallow cross and seal the inside backer. AV can let Garrettsville go wide or inside and just run where he isnt. Juju takes the outside backer or the nickel corner and just keep exploiting the spot MG vacates.

 

Fast Willie! Love that guy.

 

One peel back block from JUJU on MG( the legal variety of course) should slow him down. That and Nix's facemask imprint in his chest...

 

I still go back to game between the vikings and the Ravens. Jarred Allen was just starting to go downhill and the Ravens had Rice. They just let Allen speed rush to the outside and ran Rice on draws and screens right through the gap he was making. It was a brilliant game plan.

 

Wait until Conner misses a block and gets Ben hit, then we will see how Ben really feels .

 

So were the last 3 horses at the derby. Quick, name them.

 

You make ithe sound like Ben has never been hit before. The guy got his nose broke and finished the game , pretty sure he knows he will take a few more hits with a second year guy than with the god of football who is suddenly a pansy in the game.

 

you might have a point there but guys are saying that Connor can block too

 

I was being sarcastic, but still Conner isn't as good as Bell in blitz pickup.

 

Did you watch preseason or last year?

 

last, next to last and the one that was close to last. heck jeh i couldnt tell you who the winner was.
