Well, we either never try them or they never work, depending on the poster.

With the two horses we have I don't see why we don't pound it constantly mixing in an occasional pass instead of vice versa. We'd wear dlines down in a half...

On the video for Rookie of the week, one thing that jumped out at me on his 41 yard TD run was how well Higgins was blocking for him downfield, and kept blocking his man for at least 20 yards. Excellent work!
On the 63 yard run, Landry had 2 blocks that sealed the edge for Chubb, allowing him to get outside.Also excellent work!
Nice work by Chubb, but also a great job by the receivers working hard downfield.

We are going to have to pound the ball if we expect to beat some of the good teams we have to play.

The thing that stuck out to me was how he burned Conley when he had the angle on him. I didn't realize Chubb was that fast.

I was thrilled when we drafted him. He has both lightening and thunder. He is on his way to being our lead back. And he should be. Hyde is a really good player, but Chubb has the whole package. Power, speed, and enough wiggle in the open field.

He still has to be a willing blocker, though. He has to show he will do it. He needs that to be a complete back.
I liked him before he broke the big runs in Oakland, he's definitely got some pop.

Like i have said before, if you want blocking, put in a blocker.
He will pick it up.
Do you think the Cowboys care if Zeke can block? Hell no.

They probably expect Zeke to make some routine blocks, or at least try to.
You see Chubb whiff on that punt a couple weeks ago? And he's also missed blocking assignments. I'm not bashing him, he's a rookie. But he has to show he can be dependable in pass protection.
Details, man, details.

Details, man, details. Don't let him BS you. Zeke is a great blocker. Not adequate. Not mediocre. Not good. He's a great blocker. It's one of the major reasons he went so high. He can run it, but a lot of guys can. He is also an excellent WR. The amazing thing is that guys like Urban have said he was the best blocking RB he has ever seen.

I'm reasonably certain that his playing time has been limited because of his blocking (or lack thereof). With the ball in his hands, he's def an asset.

There will be no playoffs. Can’t play with who we have out there and compounding it with garbage playcalling and worse execution. We don’t have good skill players on offense period. Browns 20 - Bears 17.

If he can't block, or won't block, then not only do you need to put someone else back there to do what he SHOULD be doing (eating up one of the eleven bodies you can put on the field), but you also tip off the defense because they know precisely what he is and is NOT going to be doing.
It weakens the entire offense over the long haul. Him actually learning his tradecraft and becoming a viable blocker not only increases his value, but his effectiveness and the effectiveness of the offense as a whole. It is simply part of him earning his spot on the field.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

Donovan cracks me up. He's such a homer in the booth, you just gotta love him. He's awesome as a play by play guy ... Great voice, great personality .. too bad he hasn't had more famous calls because of our ineptitude Dieken is not a good color guy, despite being a Browns legend .. he's tough to listen to because he steps on Jim's toes during the call

Rambling, incoherent, blah, blah, blah... he's lucky we love him so much.

Not a Georgia fan but kept up with Chubb.
From what I saw when he first came back from his injury he had certainly lost something. But as time went on, he began coming back to form. You are certainly right about Michel being the better back last season at Georgia. But as the season wore on I felt like Chubb was closing the gap. As such, I'm not sure who the better back is now.

“Tailback U.” Chubb and Michel will finish second and third, respectively, on the school’s career rushing list, behind only Herschel Walker.

I had been wondering why we took Chubb with both Hyde and Johnson on the roster. Now it seems like he was a total BPA pick. He looks to be the real deal.

I liked him before he broke the big runs in Oakland, he's definitely got some pop. Block, schmock. He will do it soon enough. I'd rather see big gains and yardage out of my backs over their blocking ability. I would never keep him in to block....he would be running or out to enter a pattern. If you want a blocker, put in another guard at TE. You act like he should be able to line up at guard. Maybe we should do that, right????

I think our offensive coaches have a better feeling for who should be playing than you do. I have seen you say that before. No doubt, until you have a back ripping it...I suspect we will see a lot more of Chubb and the coaches agreeing with me. You can only sit TD talent so long. At some point you have to give up the blocking arguments. I saw him play a dozen times or more, was Jim Brown a good blocker? Seems like Ernie Green gained 2-3 yards at a clip.

The blocking angle is not about run blocking. It's about pass pro. You wanna get Baker killed?
