Elijah Hood claimed off waivers

[Pantha-kun]

wonder how CMC feels after we brought in 3 more RBs after releasing only 1 in Stewart. 

Would kinda suck for him to have the exact same role as he did while stew was here and just be spelling CJ periodically.

He and TJ Logan (Northern Guilford HS) were awesome as a running back combo at UNC.  

Logan was very impressive for the Cardinals last year before he broke his wrist in preseason.

I mean facts are facts.

You cant hide it.  Go rewatch the film, go look at the highlights.  The kid doesnt have the wheels to be more than a FB or a big situational back in this league.

You have to take the homer UNC glasses of.

Im a unc fan and hope the best for the kid but looking for the NFL perspective he is really slow.

LBs did run him down pretty easily, thats facts.  But He would break the tackles when they caught him though.

Not fact...sorry...classic example of opinion...where do lbs run him down easily...

Garbage UNC throwaways again. I live 5 Minutes from UNC and can smell the poo stink from here. 

Where you live is irrelevant ...this is a good pickup...

Just pop on any game film or highlight video.  Every defensive player on the field isnt a DB

as a homer i don't wait til the panthers pickup a Tar Heel to watch his vids...been watching for yrs...maybe it's one I haven't seen...now if you mean he isn't a burner well that would be accurate , but "real slow" is total  BS...

I mean i watched them all, following him as a heel too.

Ive read what the scouts said of him coming out and they say pretty much word for word what I said.

Ive watched all the highlights after hes been in the league.

You just need to take the glasses off.

"lacks desired elusiveness, lateral quickness and speed, but does have the overall power to create for himself. "

Lacks speed to live a life other than that of a grinder. Will be unable to get around the edge on a consistent basis against NFL linebackers. Slow to gather, cut and get back into the flow of the run. Early traffic in the backfield is his nemesis. Lacks the agility and elusiveness to be a creative back on the first and second levels

 

That spells Slooow for the NFL.  Your getting caught by linebackers in college.  They dont get slower in the pros.

so its still just opinion...like i said...he's no burner but he is a power back . where are the LBs chasing him down, that was your offering of proof...do you think we are bringing him in to be a homerun back or someone who can run b/t the tackles...

It spells a better than avg chance to make an NFL roster...going by your faith in the analysis

Not saying he cant or wont make a roster.

He is going to have to find a perfect fit.  Either that FB role, or a big shirt yard situation back.

that's why he is here...an inside power runner...not sluggish

Hopefully CAP will pull this one out and at least now we have an offensive coordinator that Rivera trust. I now get what he truly meant when he said we should have played CAP more bc he has been on the team what 3yrs and they still don' know what they have in him. I guess he can be happy to be collecting a paycheck tho.

It’s a good pickup.  Dude is quicker than he’s getting credit for and punishes people in his way.  We’ll see how the chips fall, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see him make the roster over CAP and Fozzy.
