Audible_Red40 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Dude is balling right now. A repeat performance on Thursday will be amazing. Finishing it off with a feed me hand motion, as stupid as it is that Zeke does. That will be the only way I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Thompson should be the third down back, and Kelley on first and second down only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman47 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 The only thing that scares me about Kelley is that he's a Redskin. Since Portis, we haven't had a back that clearly ran the show for more than 2 years. As for now, I'm enjoying watching him run. He seems to get those extra 2 yards Jones couldn't. And I love the intro at the beginning of the game calling himself Fat Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playaction2Sanders Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Rotoworld was pretty cruel to Kelley yesterday, and in a way I do agree with them. He got half his yards on one carry, other than that GB did a good job on him he only averaged 3.1 YPC up until that run.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they're only doing that to save face from telling everyone to not pick him up due to him facing pretty good run fronts from here on out. Kelley got what was there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall the Packers run D held up pretty well other than the big run at the end. There were a few runs on 1st down that the entire world knew were coming that resulted in losses that any other RB would have taken a loss on.

TSO Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 He has some of the niftiest feet I've ever seen. Very quick, constantly moving, small steps that enable him to cut almost at will. It's very impressive. Only problem right now is his overall athletic ability seems to be limited, so he can't just blow past someone or outrun many guys. That is similar to Morris, but who cares if he can continue to move like he is and find the little creases. He's very physical, very patient, and a very mature runner for his age. What's awesome is he can even improve there with more experience. Won't judge him too harshly on the dropped balls, but I won't call that a strength of his. Hopefully it was just an anomaly and he has better hands than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TysonM Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I loved how he scored the goal line TD. Breaks the plane with the ball, then he looks directly at the referee like, "Um, Ref? You seeing this ball in my hands here?" [Referee finally raises hands to signal touchdown] "Ah, there you go." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxSpearheadxX Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I think people are underplaying his athleticism. I mean his measurables are almost exactly what Almos were (kinda scary actually how similar their prodays were) but he just accelerates noticeably faster than alf does//did. I really think Kelley is a gem in the rough, like freaky amount. Dude hardly played in college? wtf who was starting ahead of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I remember watching the first game he played this season, and after a few carries thinking "Hes almost the size of Matt Jones, but hes much quicker". Hes certainly proving that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you average 4 YPC you're not literally getting 4 yards everytime. Its some small runs and a few big runs. He had a few other good runs as well, and the YPC before the big run is also skewed low because he had so many goal line carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a conversation about Ryan Grant a few weeks back with a buddy and we looked up his stats in college, who was a teammate of Fat Rob at Tulane. I noticed and talked about the "other" runningback only because my buddy is a VaGiants fan. That guy would be Orleans Darkwa. Tulane just didn't produce stats to brag about.

LD0506 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I understand the arguments that FatRob might not have the burst or athleticism desired, etc., but right now, I would much rather have a guy that is tough in traffic, doesn't keel over at the first contact and demands swarming attention from a defense. He is showing that he won't go down easy and the opposing D has to allow for extra effort or the kid will gash 'em. That in itself helps make the PA more effective.

CTskin Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 This offense thrives on getting into 3rd and manageable situations. Rob Kelly is exactly what we need. Half of the runs on Sunday were shut down at the line, but he kept finding a way to get positive yards. The great vision combined with the jumpcut is a skillset we haven't had in a long time...

Coming into the game I believe they were 4th in the NFL in run D. Now part of that is people just throw on them, but still they have a pretty good front. The other more important thing is that his low y/cis more on the oline. He routinely gets a couple yards after contact. Several times Sunday, like every game he plays, he was hit at the line or even behind it and he somehow ground out a couple of yds. The difference between 2 and 6 or 7 and 2 and 9 or 10, is huge.

Can't believe people are already hitting him with the 'poor pass catcher' label. Those throws sucked. I hope we continue to make an attempt to get him involved in the passing game. Our screen game, like every freaking year, has been disappointing. We've gotta be the worst in the league at running traditional, RB screens.

Commander -JB- Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I continuously see people hoping that Rob Kelley can be like Alfred Morris. Always kissing Morris' feet. Let's be realistic, Alfred Morris was a product of the zone read option. In Jay Gruden'a system, Kelley is a better fit & a better runner. I know he was undrafted, but the proof is in the pudding.

Ah, and if you take away Kirk Cousins 70 yard TD into the wind to Garçon, he would have had 2 TDs & 305 yards passing on the day ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand why it's always so necessary for many among us here, when discussing players or praising their ability, to **** on who they replaced or the "other guy". I've seen so many blatantly exaggerated criticisms of Jones by those crediting Kelley, but I'm just too exhausted now to continue defending the kid, because it comes off as me downplaying his issues or being labeled as someone who thinks he's already great. Even worse, I know it'll be taken as a slight to Kelley for some sick reason. I know it won't even matter if the statements are qualified every single time with praise for Kelley. Nuances in anyone's arguments here are almost never recognized, it's extremely frustrating. Now I have to read Morris getting pooped on here, too. He was just the "product of the zone read" whereas Kelley is perfect for this system. Yeesh. I know I'm soooooo gonna regret this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
