James Conner Appreciation Thread

I know the running game hasn't been as dynamic as some would have hoped. But it has been far better than what it was just a year ago. James Conner has been healthy all season, and very quietly is having a very nice season. He has displayed toughness this season. He has picked up tough yardage when we have needed it. His ball security has been much improved. Props to James on being a big contributor to an undefeated effort.

Prayers to JC30 as he recovers from Covid-19. I am sure James will be fine, but as a cancer survivor this has to be a scary time for him and his family.

 

All the best to James. He is in excellent condition but his medical history may be a concern. Take care of your health long term son that is first priority, football is a game.

 

Anyone know the results of his test today? PCRs are pretty accurate, but I guess there’s a chance.

 

I absolutely love this guy. JC worked like crazy in the off season getting his body right and has had a good season, albeit there are certainly issues with the running game.

He is one of those guys that you just have to root for. I’m not sure that he is a bellcow back but I hope he is still here in 2021 on a team friendly deal.

 

I assume we would have heard by now if it was false.

 

Not having JC30 tomorrow is a HUGE loss, and one that I think is being overlooked. Snell is a ball security risk, and he doesn't always accelerate through the hole the way Conner does. Regardless of who is on the field defensively for the Ravens, they are still the Ravens. Blitz pickup is going to be huge. Conner is the best back we have at blitz pickup, and I trust Samuels more than I trust Snell. It looks like he is out as well. The last thing the Steelers need to be against Baltimore is one dimensional. I fear we may all be appreciating Conner a lot more on Wednesday night if Snell and McFarland can't get it done.
