Kids is the closest thing to Bobby H. at the Capstone since he left... he glides into the hole with tremendous acceleration.
Look here 67........I have been chiseling all night long so I'm not stopping now....A nice start, but let's wait a few weeks before we carve his bust for Canton.
I noticed you received not one but two tourist thumbs down for this statement above. Sharing the praise and calling Yeldon great.OK, come down to earth. Yeldon is good -- probably will be great. However, I could have run for 50 yards behind the O line and JF -- I am 61...What is good to see is that the team can take their time with Lacey and let the others take their turns this week. I do think we will need EL against Arky. However, if their defense is as porous as predicted...maybe not.
This is true. However, no other back took advantage of those holes like he did...I noticed you received not one but two tourist thumbs down for this statement above. Sharing the praise and calling Yeldon great.
The alternative I suppose is that just Yeldon is great? Anything deeper is clutter
It's all not white and black or left and right. Like George Bush Sr. said "There's that gap there." Very true words. The o-line was just awesome right along with those backs as you point out very well.
He looks like a 5'10 190 pound back. Then you realize your watching someone that is 6'2 215 lbs gliding, juking, accelerating. He does remind me a little of Sherman Williams in his quick hole assessment. You can't even tell he's picking a spot because he's so quick.This is true. However, no other back took advantage of those holes like he did...
Their DL did much better against pass than the run, but, from what we've seen so far, Yeldon's skills match up beautifully with the run blocking of our OL. I agree that we'll know more when the DLine on the other side is of a higher caliber...He looks like a 5'10 190 pound back.

I do want to watch him against a tougher line and see how he does with the tough yardage, but I am sure it will be fine. He could be just as good as Ingram and Richardson, which is saying a lot after 1 game.
Agree about Fowler. Of course, he's much more experienced than Yeldon...CT makes a good observation. I didn't know how to say it, but he does hit the hole so quickly you can't tell he's looking for it. Part of that is he trust his line will create the hole where it was drawn on the chalk board before he gets there. To be a freshmen and already get that is something special.
Also what Earle said is very true. All the backs ran behind the same line and Yeldon is the one who took full advantage of it. I feel like Jalston made the next beat use of his carries. We are seeing a lacy that still isn't 100% or he would have been over 100.
Yeah, we'll get better. Some things that I missed during the game were glaring the second time I watched. Good coaching points.There's still room for improvement there. Not sure if it was Hart or Yeldon, but one of them didn't make a block in the 4th quarter that cost us a TD. The pass AJ overthrew to Williams in the 4th quarter was rushed after the LB got past the rb. Had that block been made right that was probably six.
Went back and watched it again and it was Hart. Had he handled his block that was probably 6. That's why Lacy checked back in for the next play. There was one other miss by Yeldon, but all and all they dis a good job.
Yeldon''s so good he could've made Bucket Step Bob's version of zone blocking look good. If not for Justin Taylor's Bill Curry move in recruiting, we wouldn't have Yeldon imo. With how wide open the field was going to be, I wonder if Taylor just bit first before the injury as to why Yeldon shied away so long. You never know about recruiting though.Their DL did much better against pass than the run, but, from what we've seen so far, Yeldon's skills match up beautifully with the run blocking of our OL.
