trilly 312 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Humor me here...they still roll him out at the beginning of games as the nominal "starter" and there's credence to the hot hand approach given what we've seen with Wilkins and Hines. GB is horrendous against the run. If he starts hot, could this potentially be something like the Vikings game (I don't see 25+ carries, but maybe 15-20)? I know we have zero reason to think he will start hot bc he's busted in so many great matchups already, but he was legitimately looking good against the Ravens until that fumble. If this game was in GB, I'd lean towards the "he wants to show out in WI angle" but that's not in play.

I feel like ever since the ankle news, that's when they started benching him. What if he's not 100% and the coaches are just being cautious? Just wishful thinking... Im not buying the injury. He hasnt missed any practice time lately. Link to post Share on other sites

What do you mean by he has failed to earn some of the gravy? Looks to me like that's a pretty trustworthy role and he broke the century mark in 2 of those 3 showings... Taylor, on the other hand, has definitely been on the opposite end of the gravy trust train. Dropping from 11 down to 6 and 7 carries the last 3 weeks putting up less yardage in total for those 3 weeks (61 yds) than Harris has in his worst showing of those last 3 weeks (71 yds). Taylor has talent, but he is not producing. Not sure why you lumped these 2 together. There is zero correlation and the reason I dropped Taylor today and have held onto Harris. As for Harris, I think the gravy he’s talking about is twofold...TD opps inside the 10 and passing game work. Link to post Share on other sites

Cleanface 701 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I’m feeling this week might be a game they give him some opportunity v Bad GB run d. He’s staying on the bench, just hoping he might get something good going for ros. Link to post Share on other sites

Just enough to get the hype train rolling into next season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Cam4Future 50 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Playing him with confidence this week over Harris, Lazard Goedert,Pittman & Golladay. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Impreza178 6,046 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) No chance I’d play JT over Harris this week. One is the bellcow (100 yards 2 of 3 weeks), and the other is still trying to find his footing behind 2 backs playing well. The bench is where Taylor belongs until we see him pop. Not in your lineup...hoping and praying this is the week 🤞 Edited November 20, 2020 by Impreza178 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Daytraders2019 12 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Out of curiosity, does anyone know how the practice reps are divided with Taylor, Hines and Wilkins? Wonder if/how the dynamic of practice reps has changed as the season has progressed. Edited November 22, 2020 by Daytraders2019 1 Link to post Share on other sites

fluffy69 51 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I was tough on him coming into the season, and got lit up for it on here. I'm going to start him today, not because I feel like he's going to get a huge workload...but because I feel like he's going to break one. Also...my other options suck.

Armed_Rodgery 73 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Glad I stuck through it and decided to start JT today despite all the negativity. His usage was promising and resulted in a 100+ yards of scrimmage. He's a better RB than Hines Link to post Share on other sites
