RedzoneMonster 102 Posted December 5, 2020 What are the odds he finally sees 15 carries tomorrow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,010 Posted December 5, 2020 I'd say about 15% so about 7:1 odds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,396 Posted December 5, 2020 Not very high, those three Rbs have only had four games where one of them have reached that goal. Nine rush att seems to be the magic number for Akers, those three games when he’s reached exactly nine rush attempts, he’s posted his best ff points. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted December 6, 2020 Ok Akers looked great on that TD. Strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted December 6, 2020 He’s taken over - good call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted December 6, 2020 Rams totally force fed him the ball on another GL series but he failed to convert. This was supposed to be a coming out party apparently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easilyscan 543 Posted December 6, 2020 Maybe they're finally passing the torch ? There was another really long thread devoted to the same question recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoOnAtIk 75 Posted December 7, 2020 It’s about time. He’s simply too talented to waste away on the bench. His YPC weren’t great today but that has something to do with being stuffed at the goal line a few times. I think he could’ve scored on that same run that Henderson scored had he been on the field. That hole was huge. Going forward it looks like it’s finally his job to lose. I’d still be hesitant to start with confidence just because of Mcvay and his tendency to abandon the run.

Hardcore troubadour 12,329 Posted December 11, 2020 Why do I get the feeling that McVey is going to play games with him in the second half? Why is Malcolm Brown in on passing downs? This was my fear with this kid. It sucks having the obvious best RB of the three and he’s not a bell cow at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Malcolm Brown is probably considered the best blocker so he gets the two minute drills. I noticed they did that last game as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jrbdmb 28 Posted December 11, 2020 Picked up Akers for the playoffs as I just snuck in, had to decide between Akers / Hunt / David Johnson. So far I'm glad I picked Akers. Also glad Akers was flying under the radar a bit so I still had the chance to get him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Utilit99 4,099 Posted December 11, 2020 I drafted Akers and contracted him for 4 years in my auction draft. Been waiting all season for him to get his chance. Nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
