He seems kinda shook. All he has to do is hold on to the football. He just doesn't seem right.
Not sure what's going on with Breida. He looks awful.

Mosterts' hands are underrated by our fanbase. He's putting up some Jerick McKinnon production stuff in my opinion. Also he's bigger than McKinnon too.

He's had fumble-its problems in the past, but I think he's really worked on his hand strength and recieving ability - to where it's no longer a weakness when packaged together with his strengths.
Are you getting that from his 20 NFL career receptions...or the 19 total receptions in college?

Coleman has been a dud this season. The only saving grace is his blocking in pass protection. Breida has been his usual unreliable self, missing at least 3 games again and for the first time having ball security issues. Mostert hits the hole the fastest and hardest, is the most explosive with many carries over 10 yards as well as a team-leading 10 TDs, and is the most dependable.

So, french (103 posts), did you just start watching games? There's been 16 before today's game.
You should watch the Cleveland game
(Coleman: 97 yards, 6 yd avg.),
the Carolina game
(Coleman: 105 yards, 9.5 yd avg, 3 TDs),
the first Seattle game
(Coleman: 4.4 yd avg.),
the Atlanta game
(Coleman: 10 yd avg.),
and second Rams game
(Coleman: 6.6 yd avg.).

Oh, and today?
Coleman had 22 rushes, 105 yards, 2 TDs, 4.8 yd. avg.
Dud?
Agreed about Breida looking pretty bad. It's kind of odd too since I thought he was for sure our best running back. He had elite vision, speed, and agility. Now when he's in the game, there seems to not be any holes and he's fumbling like crazy

Completely fallen off a cliff. I don't trust him running the ball at all and I'd honestly rather have Wilson take his carries at this point.

It's odd because this isn't the first time this has happened to him. In college, he went from looking like a beast for one period, to completely disappearing the next year. Seems like he's really streaky. Add in the health questions and I wonder if he's traded if we bring in another runner or McKinnon somehow comes back and is healthy.
Can't fumble and get carries...pretty simple
Probably best not to use him much going forward in these playoff games unless they just have to
When you rotate 3 guys a game none of them will ever reach their best level. It is what it is.
Breida will be joining Pettis in the doghouse for the remainder of the postseason
Welp, cant expect much from an UDFA
Is it right that he has put the ball on the ground 5 times in the last 7 games? That's incredible. SOmethings got to be going on. He's not a bad player. Maybe activate wilson, give Breida a break.

It ´s just a bad period for him.
The same thing happened to Mostert. There was a period where he would just fumble every carry.

Good post.
Can't lose the ball. Did it with Pettis. Doing it with Witherspoon. Has to stay on the roster God forbid in case of an injury. But for the next game or two Mostret gets his reps with Coleman backing Mostret up.
