The kid hasn't even played. How In the world can you have any kind of opinion of him? He has a ton of potential, he should be getting snaps.

From the small sample size he looked good.

I agree. Not as explosive as Mitchell, but he'll do as a 4rh QTR ground and pound RB that puts away teams in the 4th QTR if Kyle has a lead. Runs strong and hard, and falls forward more often than not. Personally, I think he's more suited for the inside zone/power game than the outside zone/speed game. I think they'll need bigger guys up front if they are going to feature him in the future. If not, then hopefully he'll be a great complimentary back to Mitchell or whoever is our next Olympic Sprinter that Kyle picks up from the Discount Double Check Grocery Store employment board.
The small sample size I've seen of Sermon he's an up the middle runner. Seems slow getting to the edge, which is one of the basics of this offense.
will be surprised if he gets any significant time

It looks like he's running In quicksand.
He was the 2nd fastest rb in the draft at the 10 yard split 1.49 seconds. Hopefully that translates soon to the field.

I think he dances a little when runs to the edge.
Get him the ball in this next game, nothing to lose.

He dances rather than hitting the line. Leads to getting tackled in the backfield.

Dancing works in college. It doesn't work in the NFL.

I think he'll get 5 to 10 carries
What part time McDonald's employee will they find this week to give snaps to instead of our 3rd rounder pick?

I see a combination of, Wilson, Juice and Deebo carrying the load this Sunday.

I think so. Kyle's plan at RB will be all Wilson, until he gets injured. Then we will see Sermon.

The Wilson and Sermon combination should tear it up Sunday.
