Let's Talk About Cameron Artis-Payne

[beastson]

He had a decent game. A couple good runs, a few runs where he cut back instead of just running straight and the lack of chemistry on that fumble. 2 catches which always helps

When Cap gets going, he goes with good acceleration and is very shifty. I'm kind of expecting for Stew to be inactive or limited Sunday so we'll see him some more

I was impressed with his jump cut and also his pass catching. I did notice that he tried bouncing outside a few times to lose yards instead of cutting inside to gain a yard or two. That is a typical rookie RB but I came away impressed and wanting to see him get more carries.

Played as well as a rookie can coming into a first game like that.  Had some blitz pickups also which are just as important as running the football.  

[Rastlet]

He needs to hit the weight room and get bigger and stronger. Didn't seem to have any tackle breaking ability to me but did at least fall forward.

[CRA]

He didn't take a lot of easy yards looking for the bigger play when he had rare lanes IMO.  Still he showed promise.  Needs to get on the Jonathan Stewart lower body weight program.

Even when Stew is back, give him 10 touches a game.  Would love to see passed to him out of the backfield ala yesterday as well.

Sometimes I wished D-Lo would have tried to bounce it outside. In fact, I think about 80% of his yards came from pitches to the outside.

Stew, on the other hand, is able to shed would-be tacklers and still carry the pile forward.

CAP will have to gain some more strength before he's able to do what Stew does. I think CAP has the build to be a straight-forward rusher, but Stew has always had that ability. 

Stews combine was remarkable.

He should've been activated more this year. He would be further along than he is now.

[TylerVagyler]

I was impressed. He sorta reminded me of Stew in his style of running. Just need to add some strength.

It's not easy to crack Rivera's offensive lineup. He's just too conservative and with the fumble, I kinda see why.

[Bourbarian]

He seemed pretty sure-handed on his pass plays, which is a nice perk. 

I don't know, I missed most of the game since I was on the road so I don't have much to add. In any case, thanks for starting a thread about something other than all that ugly drama. 

[Snake]

He's the future, but he is not ready to be the lead back right now. 

[CRA]

If 28 can't go again....we need more Fozzy and CAP on early downs.  Tolbert IMO is too slow to the line to be an early down runner.  Tolbert is better as a scat back role despite being a FB

[SCPantherFan90]

That one catch he had along the sideline was beautiful. All in all, he played like a rookie with a lot of potential.
