Everyone expects rookies to be an all pro their first season. Mack wasn’t doing much his first season, and this is literally the 7th game of the season. Relax and give the kid time. Wisconsin runs the ball WAY differently than we do. He’ll get it figured out. 

 

I expect more out of rookie RBs than other positions ... especially highly drafted ones who come with as much hype as JT ... Mack was a late 4th.

Even when JT get the holes inside he doesn't hit them half the time, can't see the cutbacks/improvise, and gets arm tackled on first level way too much ... I am not writing him off yet, but not as advertised and so far I am not impressed with him.

He just needs time. Coming from a very different system. He'll get his timing down. The over-rotation of RBs hasn't helped that development either.

I mean with this years lack of preseason, to learn our offense and a new running style its gonna take time. I also believe they are limiting his carries so he doesn't hit the rookie wall.

Hopefully, because there were a lot of good players in that area he was picked.

Hopefully, would love to see him turn out to be as advertised. He will need to make a big jump his 2nd year.

I'd like to see more power-man blocking from us. I think that would help him a ton. I'm actually a little surprised that haven't gone power with Burton as the FB leading. 

It took Mack a year to get his timing down.

    • The Pacers should draft Lebrons kid if he is available in the second round.  
    • Cardinals have won 4 in a row over the Giants and Braves.  i am now hoping to win the series against Atlanta tonight and go for a sweep tomorrow.   Seems unlikely but you never know. Gotta face maybe the Braves best starter tonight.  Lopez with a 1.57 ERA.  It sure would be nice to win at least 1 against the Braves in the next 2 nights.  After that series they have 4 against the Reds and 3 against the Pirates so we can expect them to beat each other up.    
    • I have reactivated the league.  Who's back in this year? @Lucky Colts Fan @buccolts @WarGhost21 @Yoshinator @VikingsFanInChennai @crazycolt1 @IndyD4U    Going to get this started early, lock in the dates. I will correct my mistakes, I will be clear on when the draft is so no-one is confused and no spousal trades. Are there any other variations for rules anyone cares to put up to a vote this year?   Thanks for being a part of this league and if anyone is reading this who isn't a part of it now, let me know if you're interested in joining so I can offer any open spots.
    • I haven’t seen the comps you speak of.     I know most projections seem high.  Football outsiders does an annual projection either just before or just after the draft.  I think Liatu was projected with the most sacks and the number was basically 6 sacks.      I suspect Liatu was picked in part because he’s an inch taller and roughly 20 pounds heavier than Turner.  And I suspect the new DL coach, who I love, had strong input to the selection.
