houtiger Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I'm not a big NFL fan. But I am chomping at the bit to see tonight's game between KC and Houston, not because it is houston, but just because its a football game. Tyrann and Clyde are with the Chiefs, thought I saw Clyde named the starter. I saw Tyrann named to the pre-season NFL best 100 players, lots of other Tigers, Pat Peterson, Danielle Hunter, Jamal Adams, Tre White, OBJ, Jarvis Landry. Maybe Devin White some day, and Joe Burrow? Sunday afternoon Saints Bucs, looking forward to see LF play with a QB and 2 dangerous receivers on the offense with him. What will happen when they don't stack the box against LF? I hope we get to see that. Bucs fans say LF just got a one year contract, so we should see the best out of him as he plays for his next contract. To warm up, I may speed watch the SEC championship game again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of interesting how he is Clyde's backup. Looking at the stats, appears Clyde had a really good first showing.

dachsie Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Of all the players drafter this year, CEH is the one I am the most happy for. Was told he was too small to make it and yet here he is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchertiger Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 One of his teammates pointed out after the game that while Clyde is short, he isn't small noting that he weighs over 200 pounds which is par for the course for most RBs in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
