Watching Mattison this year and his stats he’s not doing well at all… but in previous years he’s been a great RB when filling in for Cook and there have just been barely any of those flashes really.
But is that cause the O Line are great at pass blocking but just bad at run blocking, so there are minimal gaps to run through?
I know Akers and Chandler have had more promising plays, but is that because elusive backs have an easier time adjusting than a power back?
The reason I ask is cause not a lot of pundits I’ve listened to have mentioned Mattison when talking about the Vikings and I’d expect more people calling for a change outside of fan takes.
Mattison doesn’t have the same respect as Cook, so the defense is gonna give you a different look. Cook rushed for 1,173 yards last year as what this sub called a “washed” RB. There is definitely room for a RB to succeed in this system, Mattison is just not it.
I don’t know why this sub was so high on mattison and the idea of a RBBC. RBBC usually consist of actual talented running backs, you don’t do RBBC with two shit running backs. You can’t just have 3 trash RBs and say “this the new wave” lol
