First 100-yard rushing game of his career. Congrats, Pop ‼️
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Very nicely done. He has literally taken the starting job away from Clyde Edwards Helaire. They seem to like McKinnon in passing situations but IP can catch the ball as well.
He certainly deserves all of the good karma. He stuck it out when the program hit its low point and continued to work hard and play hard for RU. He deserves all the good things happening to him right now.
Three Rutgers players in the game. Michael Burton KC and Joseph-Day for LAC.
At one time Burton and Pacheco were in the backfield for the Chiefs.
They need to just ride with him the full game. He was clearly the best RB for them last night and they kept swappping in the other RBs. He could of had 150+ yards.
Tough block for him, James is one of the best defensive players and probably the best safety in the NFL.
Yeah, if you slow down the film, it looks like his assignment was to seal the gap between 65 and 77. He did not slide to the right quickly enough (look at a screen freeze at 0:09--0:010) and the defender was off to his right, and Pop was on one leg trying to effect the block. Sheet happens, and knowing Pop, he will work on his technique.
Didn't neccessarily mean hear it from coaches but more so from his buddies.
Yeah, no worries. He's a baller, and he probably was pissed about it himself. Not sure what this (posted above) was about and if it was before or after. Guessing there must have been chirping after Pop got taken down:
