He's played in 2 games and came out with knee issues both times.. Actually, he’s played in 3. 2 preseason games and one regular season. Which means he has knee issues in only 66.6% of games played instead of 100%, and that’s a big difference. Makes me feel a lot better about the situation.

Meet the new season. Same as the old season. What happened to Moses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyHolt Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 If he is truly injury prone is it best to nurture him all year and possibly not learn of it, until next September? Or, is it best to rip that band aid off now. Maybe he overcompensated the bum knee injury and overworked the other, but things don't look good. And IMHO the talk of stem cells seems a bit hasty or premature. Maybe its common place now what do I know..... but did he even have an MRI yet, or get a second opinion? If its not a common therapy for NFLers Its almost as if someone doesn't trust our medical staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 When I see Alvin Kamara doing work, that is what my hope Guice is going to become. Quick, shifty, all purpose back. Can hurt a defense in multiple ways. As it stands now.........eh....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily Kamara reincarnated, I meant that kind of a weapon at the RB position. Someone that can hurt with rushes, receptions, screens, etc etc.....

Lol I have watched his college tape. I still stand by my assertion. He is not Barkley. He is not Peterson. He is not Kamera. He is not Bell. He is not McCoy. Guice is more of a powerback. He doesn’t cut on a dime and juke left to right. Even IF he did it in NCAA, that doesn’t mean he cuts quick enough to avoid NFL caliber defenders. He is more in the mold of Zeke (not that good obviously) than he is in the mold of those shifty backs. I’m not worried. You’ll come around in a few years when it finally catches up to you. Maybe we have different definitions of shifty but he is not that type of back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyst Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 @volsmet you look at that video and think he is a Barry Sanders type? I look at it and see more of a Zeke type of back than a pinball type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamara actually tested poorly in his agility drills & had the same 10 yard split as Guice, but certain guys have game day dna ... Kamara is one of those guys who becomes something different after kickoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrell Green Fan Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 10 hours ago, MartinC said: If I have learned anything on here, watching and playing sports and just in general is your eyes often lie to you. Your brain filters what you saw and picks out the bits that support your preconceived position/opinions. This applies to me as much as anyone. I think a review of the tape will show Guice got what was there yesterday. We were beaten up front in the run game both sides of the ball. Week 2 and week 4? Just for you i am watching it again now. I remain unimpressed with Guice. This is upsetting as I was super high on the pick but i don't believe the eyes lie. I wanted to love him and was kind of shocked that I saw what I did. So no my brain did not filter to support a pre-conceived position as my position was I thought he was going to be great going into the game. He isn't bad, certainly an improvement over the backs they have been trotting out there over the years. But I was hoping he could be special and I don't see it. I clearly remember AP making a jump move in the pocket in preseason and burst through a new hole. Even at his age this was a move few RBs can make.

thehogs Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 So, coaches rather patronising summary of using AP if we run from the I formation 55 times is about to become a game plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can become our latavius Murray to a yet to be identified Kamara (could love be the guy?) for 2-3 seasons then that would be a win. I just am not optimistic that he’s ever going to be more than that. I know that’s extremely premature (it is EXTREMEskins after all). Hope I’m wrong. He’s been an amazing skins ambassador.

This one: https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/redskins/trent-williams-teammate-morgan-moses-says-50-50-chance-hes-back-week I thought Moses was saying he had a "50-50" chance of playing this Sunday. He was actually talking about Trent Williams' chances of returning Teach me to just scan an article, and rely too much on the title. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinzplay Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I feel bad for the kid. He busted his tail to rehab and get back on the field for this season, and now he has another setback (hopefully a minor one). I certainly have nothing against him. I think a lot of people are just salty about the way the coach handled the situation, especially being so disingenuous about the reason AP was inactive.
