Emmett Johnson Truthers ITT

[Herbie]

RJ is a good pass catching back.
He’s also a bozo at running routes.

Let ej eat

One thing to remember when comparing RBs. RBs that get more carries in the 2nd half often look better than RBs that get more carries in the first half.

My man averaged 4.6ypc last year when the entire universe knew we couldn’t throw the ball. And this year, now that we have a passing game, he’s averaging 8.3ypc. It’s not a coincidence. The dude will get us 6ypc if we feed him. Dowdell has been good, and his skill set is useful, but time to quit fucking around with EJ. He needs 15 touches a game. Dowdell needs 12 touches a game. Let those boys cook.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Dowdell and EJ in the backfield together, not necessarily in the I. Lots of things you can do, but I’m not sure Sat is interested in doing that. I might be wrong, but I think Sat would rather pass all game long. He has been pretty predictable.

dowdell seems to run right into people on purpose majority of the time or jump at the goal line when not needed. there was a reason he was 4th string. athletically gifted? for sure. but...

I've noticed he has a bad habit of just jumping/hurdling in general. Instead of cutting or doing a juke, he just seems to want to jump for some reason.

Might as well …

I noticed this as well - I think it worked once early on pretty well and he’s been doing it way too often since

Tell me how I should about this now? I’m stuck

We can't run for shit or do anything else for shit

Felt like he was trying to create his own shit today instead of following any sort of blocks (limited, albeit)

Our backs are all average. That’s why we still have a rotation like we do. I like R Johnson the most but that isn’t saying much.

Dowdell hesitated before he hits the hole, drives me crazy.

I don’t see what he gives you that EJ does not - RJ also feels more explosive.

I see multiple plays where they leave a lot of yards on the field. A back like Ozigbo would have some big runs behind this line. I do think RJ is more explosive and he is the best in the passing game, but he still doesn’t scare a defense. I’ll give Dowdell one thing. If you need a yard he will probably get it.

I guess I don’t really see Dowdell hesitating, maybe I’m crazy. You can count on him hitting the hole hard and that’s that

OP you are one handsome and smart guy

Emmett Johnson is a modern day version of early 90's IB Derek Brown. Loved Brown back in the day and Johnson has the same look to him.

He looks like he's a great running back. I don't know that he is but I believe it when I watch him run instead of just being a dude who I expect will get the exact yardage a play was blocked for

Dude looked like Ameer at times. Defenders were guessing where he was going & he used it to get another yard or more
