Scarlett Feva Breakdown

Missed this kid doing my own internet sleuthing on college prospects but when we drafted him thought his clips showed a nice combination of speed and power to compliment CMac. Glad to see him show it in his debut.

Really think him and Goodwin can be good late round contributors on this, and even future rosters. Even more than Miller imo.

So here's my issue, the team was looking for a CMC clone and drafted a power RB.  Was he a reach based on what was left?  Scarlett has the power to move a pile, but if you look closely, he's very tight-hipped.  He may have made some second and third string Bills look average, but can he do that against a starting defense?  Instead of getting a CMC clone, we got a CAP clone.  Holyfield is in that same mold too.  The only RB that's even close to a CMC-type is Bonnofon and he's raw...a college QB and WR if memory serves me correctly.

That play on 2nd and 18 was grown man football. Preseason or not that is good field vision.

So let me get this straight.  You take offseason coach speak as gospel truth?

Nope, not in the least, but considering the offense flows through CMC, you would think getting someone in that same mold would make sense if the big "I" were to occur.  That's my biggest problem with this team, they put all their eggs into certain positional baskets and when the starter gets hurt, things turn to utter crap.

My question to you: based on one preseason game against backups, if CMC tears his ACL against the Rams, you are all-in on the Scarlett hype train?  Heck, just last week Holyfield was the second coming of Berry Sanders.  

You all here get too up or too down on players based on preseason.  Greir's now the next Ryan Leaf and Scarlett is headed to the HOF.

Nope.  Go search my posts.  Have never been on the Holyfield train.  And have been intrigued by Scarlett since we drafted him.

I like his running style.  And Holyfield isnt in the ballpark of  Scarlett. 

My apologies for my original post being a little rough.  But I have watched a ton of tape of Scarlett.  Is he the next Kamara?  No.  But he could be an adequate replacement if CMC went down.  It would have to be a Scarlett and Bonnafon combo.  But that’s the case with most elite RB’s.  You just aren’t going to replace them with one guy.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
