Rhamondre, not Mac. Not a nickname thing.

[PatsFanInVa]

I don't care what we're calling him, this guy just seems to have "it."

Duh, they don't play the same position, it's not zero sum, la la la I get it. I just have this feeling that despite the jam-packed committee he comes into, unless he fumbles, Rham is going to break out and turn into a true no. 1 (despite our preference for roleplayers, and despite how extra our backfield is, as the kids would say I think but I'm not sure.)

I think tempering our reMACtions is all good and well. See what I did there. I also think it's irrational to be this high on the guy.

Howsomever...

Does anybody else have that "this guy is going to be special" feeling about Rhamondre?

Or am I just labor-day-bored-&-irrational?

I like Dre

He defintely has a chance to do something with his opportunity as long as he holds onto the ball and follows all the team rules to stay out of Bills dog house.

Was always picking him in the last round of mock drafts but I think he is getting some run now. Seen him going in the last 4 rounds lately. Could be a steal.

Its a question of how many touches he gets over the other 3 quality backs. He's so strong I like to see him blocking for Taylor out of the backfield.

 

[JayNM]

Its impossible to not think of Mac first, but if it wasnt for the "1st Round QB" status and TC, Rha would be on top of my watch list. The way he cuts and shifts is crazy for a guy his size.

Sometimes he looks like Blount, sometimes like Dion Lewis. Thats a stupid combination

I guesssss... I just almost feel like they'll keep trying to use him that way, we'll see him reel off some big gains on some little "oh look first back through got the ball" plays, he'll actually make some noise in the passing game, he'll see short yardage work that turns into longer yardage work. Like he'll keep outperforming. That said, we're loaded. If it's Taylor or Harris or all 3, fine... I've just got that feeling. (Maybe I've got that "god this guy looks good vs. 2s and 3s feeling.)

These other guys coming in and doing a nickname thing on a not-a-nickname thread, are they trolling me you think? Or just thick?

Usually you think of thunder and lightning being 2 guys.

Rham looks like a well rounded runner. His 90 yard rush contradicted one of his big "cons"on his draft scouting reports.

The problem is that one of his other cons was pass protection. He'll need to do that, as well as catch passes in order to see the field more.

 

[Kontradiction]

RHAM. Trucking people like two ****heads with instruments just entered his pen.

Not necessarily...

 

[holyredeemer]

Loved Big Baby Rham from the moment we drafted him. 3 down back potential! Hope he can hold up on those pass blocks though.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

okay fine, to indulge the nickname tangent that the thread is not about, I'm calling him Dre

Yo Dre turn it up.

 

[patfanken]

Let's be honest here. The REAL reason we want to give this guy a nickname is so we don't have to type and misspell "Rhamondre" all the time.

I do NOT want a damn nickname for him, that'll come. I'm just saying, I have the feeling he's something different/more. I could be wrong

Don't think this guy takes long to take over from Harris. His talent is immense.

Immense talent requires a nickname, so we have something better to call him than “this guy”.

how about just ‘Mon?
