Big Blue Huddle

From Walter Football;

Tyrone Tracy, RB, Purdue
Height: 5-11. Weight: 209.
40 Time: 4.48.
Projected Round (2024): 4-6.
4/22/24: Tracy never received a big workload in college, but he played well in 2023, averaging 6.3 yards per carry on 113 attempts for 716 yards and eight touchdowns. He had 19 catches for 132 yards. In 2022, he had 28 catches for 198 yards. Back in 2019, he totaled 36 receptions for 589 yards and three scores. At the next level, Tracy could compete to be a backup runner and special teams contributor. He helped himself with a fast time at the combine.

Two stats that I LOVE for Tyron Tracy right off the bat:

Among Draft Eligible RB's with 60 carries:

1st (!!) in yards after contact per attempt
10th in breakaway rate
17th in missed tackles forced, one more than Trey Benson

Love the advanced numbers!

Quote from: brownelvis54 on Today at 03:40:42 PMBecause we have Devin Singletary, Dante Miller, Eric Gray, and Gary Brightwell. a DT like Mekhi Wingo is more needed. Like I said months ago, why not take a chance on Michael Pratt in the latter rounds. He could sit for one year, low risk, perhaps high reward.

Like Ivan Pace Jr. last year, Wingo might not even get drafted because he's considered too small for the defensive line. But like Pace last year (didn't get drafted because of his size, then became 1st team all rookie as LB)

New to position means there is still a lot he is learning on the fly.

Not surprising he would still have trouble with some of the nuance of playing RB. If you beleive some of the reports sounds like Upside, tools pick whose floor might be an explosive KO returner.

Not bad for pick 166....

Quote from: Giant Jim on Today at 03:35:12 PMHow many O line coaches have they had over the last 12 years? All of a sudden it's the position coach's fault.

Well Feliciano just had an elite season ala 81.2 pff this year after looking just meh as a Giant in 2022.

Quote from: andrew_nyGiants on Today at 03:27:51 PMI disagree.

Marketed ad nauseam world-wide, over exposed and over played...yes.

Popular? Not to any true fan who actually care about the players.

It's become the 21st Century version of the Gladiators (no not the tv show, the real thing).

Show some true care and concern for the players post career and stop trying to play 6 days per week 23 weeks of the year, and regain the respect of the fans.

Are you of the opinion that before Goodell, the NFL "cared" about players more?  Or were more safety conscious?

Converted WR. Low miles on legs as RB. Very shifty and will be a great ST player. I like his RAS score. He's an offensive weapon. Not a "Workhorse Back", but more like a poor man's McCaffrey. He's more dangerous taking slant passes or sweeps. Should be a good compliment to the RBs we already have. At least we know he can catch a ball and make something happen
