Dude got screwed twice this season so far. Happy he’s getting more touches
Needs to be rb1
I wouldn’t be surprised if Chandler takes Mattison’s job next week. The Dolphins dropped 350 rushing yards on the Broncos with their speedy running backs in week 2. Having Jefferson back with Addison will open things up the same way Hill and Waddle did.
Mattison is in the concussion protocol so you are correct. Chandler will be the starting back next week
Akers was the better back and Mattison was the clear RB1, I wish KOC just stop giving Mattison looks. He has gotten better though
The “Let’s go Chandler” chanting in the crowd yesterday was mildly annoying but they DID have a point . . .
The thing with Chandler is that he stretches to the outside if shit hits the fan, Mattison just be running into their defenders.
KOC did a good job on those stretches to Chandler and having him run outside.
His talent is obvious and the man is fast as all hell. He needs to be better in pass pro but I agree with you, I also hope he gets more touches cuz he’s electric
I’ve asked the question a few times here why Chandler isn’t on the field more. Whenever I see him run, preseason or regular, he seems to have some real juice out there and do well. It isn’t like he’s sitting behind Derek Henry here.
Today they were forced to use him and he did pretty well.
I’m sure there is something the coaches don’t like in his game, maybe ball security or blocking. But so far I haven’t seen whatever it is they don’t like. Regardless it looks like he’ll keep playing especially with Mattison out likely a week. Probably we’ll see Nganwu and maybe even a little McBride at this point.
