The impatience on this board is galling sometimes. Fact is he has issues in pass blocking and in the NFL if you're a running back that can't pass block you don't play. Luckily it's a learned skill and it's fairly normal for rookies to take a season to really pick up on it.
funny there's a bunch of other rookies who seem to be doing fine, and turbin himself was a rookie last year.
Wasn't the whole idea of us trading for Percy to WIN NOW????? Why draft a RB whose gonna be sitting on the shelf with your 2nd round pick if that's your mindset???
The dude is either in the doghouse (could be for good reason, but pass blocking alone I find extremely hard to believe is the cause), or he should at least get a couple looks here and there.
I'm not calling for him to replace turbin as the 2, im calling him as an occasional change of pace back, with an opportunity at KR (he has the tools, why not let him try?)
