RB Trey Sermon

Sermon isn't a bust. Like a lot of our rookies he's holding water bottles.

Look, players go busts left and right, but what I can't stand is that the coaching staff (in general) just does not give them enough chances... i also don't believe in that holding water bottle crap... RB is the easiest position in the NFL... I believe if he can't beat out our 6th Rounder, that The Best Mind In The NFL can at least give Sermon 10 carries per game..

Sermon is never the 3rd down back. I don't know what that means but he just isn't. I forgot which game it was where Mitchell and Hasty were injured but they used Juice as the 3rd down back instead of Sermon.

I am 1000% with you. We saw a little of Sermon and he looked good to me. We truly don't know what he can do because he is not allowed to play. Wth are we drafting guys we have no intentions of playing?

Juice had more carries than sermon that game. Kyle clearly doesn't trust this kid for some reason.

I know losing breeds negative storylines, but one does have to wonder if Shanny wasn't on board with some of the guys we drafted especially this year. Banks and Sermon have had very limited snaps for a 2nd and 3rd round pick. I know they both had some injuries, but they simply aren't getting snaps. Either they aren't the guys we thought they would be or Shanny didn't want them to begin with.

Sermon seems fast enough for me - his 40 was not great, but his 10 yard split along with his vertical and broad jumps are elite. also had a near-elite 3-cone. Sermon is plenty explosive, what he lacks is that final gear of a sprinter. dude absolutely has explosive traits for a RB.
