Lost in the Bernard love is how much he's struggled in pass protection. Not uncommon for a rookie, and as the season goes on I'm sure we'll see him get more and more snaps.

BJGE is awesome for 3rd and very short. He nails that situation. He's still got enough left in him to be a good 3rd down back or some other complementary role. But Gio should be getting most of the snaps.
No, but plenty of running backs can turn a 3 yard loss into a 0 yard loss. BJGE isn't that guy. Never has been. Never will be. The only reason I can come up with as to why he has a job is because he didn't fumble for years. He isn't fast. He isn't shifty. He isn't a 3rd down pass receiving type. He just doesn't fumble.
Pittburgh lost both Foote and Pouncey today. Need a win next week with the Packers looming.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
Anyone else think Gio could turn into a Ray Rice type back? That's who he reminds me of.
I'm just going to try to avoid this thread from now. Y'all can be a depressing bunch sometimes.
Arise and walk, come through. A world beyond that door is calling out for you. Arise and walk, come through. It's calling out for you.
