RB3 is Who?

[Ring 6]

It was a strange year for Rham with his dad passing, putting the ball on the ground..etc.
As the year went on he earned back trust and was really good.
If you want to really know who the coaching staff thinks is the starter, you can look at the most recent games, the 4 in the playoffs.

Rham: 13/20/25/12 touches
Henderson: 10/13/3/9 touches.

That’s 70 to 35, double the touches for Stevenson in the most important games of the year, win or go home.

So to answer your question, nothing has changed.
Rham was the starter to end last season and still is today.

We will see. Part of those numbers were Henderson being banged up and hitting the rookie wall.

They have a chance to be an incredible duo.
If Rham plays like he did the later part of the season and Hendo can take another step, it will be one of the best 1-2 punches in the league.

I think this is how they start the year, Rham getting over 50% and Henderson getting under 50%, but if Henderson figures it out, that could change.

46 receptions on 65 targets for 550 yards and 2 TD's last year.

You have it right.

Number of targets is the only and true barometer of a WR. Not the number of snaps which is totally foolish. In that scenario the WR is penalized when almost 50% of the offensive plays are runs and the WR is running a route as a decoy or blocking. Furthermore, Maye throws at a rate of 72%, so 28% of his throws were not completed. Using snaps, if the WR is on the field during a pass to Douglas thats incomplete, he gets penalized.

Anyone with that line can be our WR4 any day of the week and twice on Sundays (shrugs).

But thanks for answering.

Hollins was WR3 last season and is still WR3 until Douglas or Williams takes over.

Hollins and AJ Brown are the only current NE WRs to catch TD passes in the Super Bowl and Conference Championship.

Pretty sure he’s ahead of Stevenson

Maybe in a foot race buy but not in pass protection. That remains to be seen.

You keep implying Henderson wasn’t good. He had 900 yards at 5.1 per carry.

Don't know why some can't see the obvious. Rham was a complete RB for us after he cleaned up his fumbling.

He never said such a thing: but he hit that Rookie wall and was ineffective late last year. Rookies do that sometimes.

And this is where you stop having a good football discussion, and revert back to your old ways.
I never implied anything remotely close to what you are suggesting.

Every comment you made includes something like “if he can take another step”. How does that not imply he was lacking?
