MurderInc 588 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Benched until further notice. Drake might be the biggest non-injury bust of the year. This was my worst draft pick in a long time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Bluth 940 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 So what’s the injury? Any one know any thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SharkSwimmer 4,954 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 This guy has busted in some really easy matchups. Big dud so far. Is it sad that I am hoping that Edmonds and Benjamin will get more chances, to see if they will do any better? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MurderInc 588 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Let's look at some stats through four games: Ground game - 67 carries / 254 rushing yards / 1TD. YPC 3.8. YPC nowhere near last year's efficiency. Kyler Murray is doing his best Cam Newton impression by vulturing any rushing TD's within the 15 yard line. Receiving game - even more disturbing than the ground game. 5 receptions / 20 yards / 0 TD's for Drake.....ON THE YEAR, not one game. Chase Edmonds weaseled his way into the receiving back role this year - today Edmonds went for 5/24/1TD receiving. I kept saying to myself: "We need a bigger sample size on Drake." Well, I've seen enough. Sure, he'll probably have some boom games this year, but Drake's a bust. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kdpat15 258 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 man this dude looks like bunzzz! not gonna lie, he is trash right now. Edmonds should start and I have been a drake supporter for the past 2 years Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trashlife 90 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 This bum is not coming off the bench for a while. Feel like I'm seeing double with him and DJ Moore on my team. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He sucks. Murray stealing all the TDs and he’s not getting any passes. This was me too, and I'm sure we're not alone. The big question right now is, should we be starting Edmonds instead?

Drake has been a JAG this year. Think its time for the coaching staff to reassess but what do I know lol.

Kliff Kingsbury is a moron honestly, sure let’s just telegraph our plays. Drake for run, Edmonds for pass. What .... jesus christ gotta be kidding me. A supposed offensive genius No wonder he runs into a wall every single time. Don’t get me wrong Drake does not look spry, agile, or elusive out there. It’s a mixture of both , a complete clasterfack. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spyplane 1,589 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 He's primed to lose his job. What the hell happened to this guy? This is mostly on Drake. A RB ready to take over the league gets it done at least once in the first four weeks. Come on, this doesn't look good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's been a "jag' because they haven't been using him properly. His lack of use in the passing game, in particular, is astounding. It's like they're trying to tighten a screw with a hammer. They're currently in last place in their division so hopefully that will motivate them to use him properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Through all 4 games this season its clear that he lacks the burst and cuts he once had; maybe its offensive scheme, maybe its his overweight issue this season as he does look bulkier but nonetheless he has lost a step from my observation. Yes, the play calling is trash and Kliff thinks he is smarter than everyone but it is what it is we can't help that 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The man has five catches on the season...and he should be averaging five catches a game. That's inexcusable and on the head coach / offensive coordinator. If you look at his rushing yards last season after the trade he only topped 100 yards three times. They can't just expect him to turn into a conventional RB because that's not what he is. He's not quite as limited as someone like Ekler, but he definitely needs screen passes mixed in to succeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
