When I was a kid in Ohio they had a white bengal cub born at the Cincinnati Zoo and it was a HUGE DEAL! Went to see it, bought one of those felt pennant souvenirs and honestly might still have it somewhere. It was actually right around the time they switched to the stripe helmet so it's double nostalgia for my days as a young Bengals fan before moving to NYC and an eventual Super Bowl winner. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AFC North where 3 out of 4 teams are the Cleveland Browns, were the Cleveland Browns, or desperately want to be the Cleveland Browns. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it would be his knees that got the better of him. He was definitely one of the more electrifying RBs in the NFL when he was healthy. Sucks that he's done.

Robert C Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I know this isn't exactly an original thought, but is there a worse job top level professional sports than running back? You're pretty much guaranteed to get hit on every play if you're on the field. That's got to put you at even higher levels of CTE risk than the average NFL player. Plus it wears your body down insanely quickly. That means you're not likely to get that second contract, which is where players really start to make big money. And even if you do, the league doesn't value your position, so you're not gonna get nearly what you'd get at a position like WR or OT. Carson was a pretty good RB, but he made substantially less in his career than Christian Kirk is gonna make this year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I'd be hard-pressed to think of one. Hardly any are treated like elite players so the pay sucks. And they get physically wrecked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 It's amazing how much less value running backs have now than 20-25 years ago. Like, in the late 90's when you had Terrell Davis, Marshall Faulk, Barry Sanders, Eddie George, and maybe still Emmit Smith who were all at least in the discussion for the twenty five best/most important players in the NFL. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually like to know how much film these guys are watching and the amount of time that is actually beneficial. I feel like most of these guys are probably watching tons of film, but I doubt more time equals more benefit at about 4 or 5 hours. Football is a pretty complex sport, but I feel like most NFL quarterbacks understand the fundamentals of most defense and everything else is just studying the tendencies of specific players and position groups. That probably takes a few hours of concentration, but I doubt 4 hours a day is anything but typical NFL obsessiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember this is combined with practice where you're actually playing against other people simulating what you're going see on film. I don't know if an extra 8 hours of watching film is doing that much. The concepts of a defense don't change that much, but they are going to show different teams different looks. Kyler Murray's biggest strength is that defenses can't play Kyler Murray like they play everyone else. He can watch all the film he wants, but the vast majority of the film he's going to watching isn't going to be that relevant to his defenses are going to try to play him. At a certain point you kind of just have to execute what you do better than they execute what they do and film doesn't actually help that much unless you can see a one for one comparison to how they're going to play you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
