Y so much praise on PEAD??? RB

[Ram4life11]

Y is there so much praise and hope for Pead to be the featured running back? If I'm not mistaken, didnt Richardson beat him out for the backup spot last year? And Richardson had a overall better season than Pead.

So y, does everyone expect to just beat out all the backs this year? Besides SJ, the Running Back competition this year is much better...

Can anyone explain y so much praise??

Well... he was a high draft pick. Highly regarded coming out of school.

He didn't get many chances early in the season as the coaches admitted he was a little behind on the offense.

Later in the season, with a few touches, he showed some promise.

That's my take.

Actually Pead did improve in certain areas as the season progressed and Richardson ran out of gas, but that's because the Rams called Richardson's number far more often. On most depth charts Richardson is listed ahead of Pead, but we all know the position is up for grabs.

Why so much praise, I guess it's more hope than praise at this point. Pead seem to get it at the end and IMO he can't be worse at picking up the blitz than Richardson was last season and was one of the major reasons Jackson played the majority of the snaps towards the end of the year.

He was late joining the team because of graduation, thus he was way behind vs richardson. Snead believes this is the sole cause of his lackluster season.

Pead got a fair amount of carries @ seattle for a #2b RB, and he looked good considering the blocking he had to work with (and seattle was #1 run d i think)

Then there are those of us who think the question of who beats out who is irrelevant. RB by committee means they can tailor their choice of RB to that week's opponent and situations. I expect the first 4-6 games will be like this, then, once they have a feel for who does what better, they could go with one more often than the others.

Pead missed all early camps, came is late, Richardson got the jump, don't see it this year, but I wont complain as long as we have a guy, or guys,. back there that get it done . Like Pead, but not in love :cheese:

It's wide open. Competition. Who wants it the most? Want to see them all contribute in positive ways.

It's sort of hard to make a case for Pead without somehow making a bit of a case against Richardson IMO.
What I saw from Richardson last year was two things that I hope Pead doesn't demonstrate this year ,the first has been mentioned, he appeared to the casual observer to have hit the rookie wall .
Maybe Richardson doesn't "hit a wall" this year ,but the expectation has been established and if he shows any sign in the final third of the season,I think we're going to hear about it.

So there's that Pead showed better at the end of the season than at the beginning and Richardson seemed to show worse.

The other thing is that my impression of DR is when he gets hit head on ,that's it ,he doesn't fall forward even some times gets knocked backward,since Pead is slightly bigger the hope is he finishes a run of that type better.

My knock on Darren McFadden was always that he could be stood up and driven backwards by anyone.

In a game that comes down to inches , Pead is an inch taller and the hope is he gets the first downs instead of missing them by THAT inch.

But what of we the anointed who wish a further dissertation like,cuz I said so, er sumpin' we can go with?

 

[OC--LeftCoast]

Because Jeff Fisher is omniscient and with SJax leaving this year wanted to make sure Pead was 100% healthy


Hey, that's as good as any :huh:
