Underused player; ****ing stubborn, jackass Dan Reeves insisted on plodding out Sammy Winder to save Sewell for 3rd downs.

Official Phillip Lindsay Really is the first undrafted rookie in the ProBowl Thread

I thought the exact same thing. “Hey, Phil has a nickname. He’s The Tasmanian Devil. Learn to love it.”

"Thank you Mr. Sanders." Love it. Seems like a good kid.
With yesterday's game, Phil is now averaging 6.08 yards per carry with 937 yards. Here are the RBs in the Super Bowl Era with more than 6.08 yards per carry over a full season where they generated at least 900 yards rushing:
- Jamaal Charles (2010, 6.38 YPA, 1,467 yards)
- Barry Sanders (1997, 6.13 YPA, 2,053 yards)
- Mercury Morris (1973, 6.40 YPA, 953 yards)
annoyed me too. if there's anything that Phil's story so far has to teach its about being true to who you are and where you're from. He's the Tasmanian Devil. It's Mile High. Pluto's a ****ing planet.
One thing that needs to happen is that Royce Freeman needs to step it up! There is a ton of Lightning, but some pretty weak ass Thunder right now. I want PL to run for 2,000 yards, but I also want to keep him healthy and fresh. It felt like with Freeman being so average and then fumbling that Musgrave has no choice but to let Phil be Phil, but as he creeps towards 20 carries, I get concerned. We are at game #12, the normal end to a college season, and so these last 4 games, hopefully plus the playoffs are important to stay healthy and productive, and Freeman is showing his miles, and #23 is who he is.
Just updated the thread title, decided to read through the first page. So awesome that PL has lost his starting KR job and all gunner jobs because he's too valuable to risk on special teams.
Knowing Phil, it probably pisses him off that he doesn't get to be a gunner and kick returner, but he'll go ahead and do what the team asks of him without making a stink about it.
I loved watching him as a Punt gunner. He was lethal.
Drew doing his part to make sure that "Taz" remains the nickname.
Love the drawing, love the write up, but his Twitter game is pretty lame when he does not get any of them correct. There are 2 or 3 people getting some looks right now that are just everyday folk. It is @I_CU_boy

He won't be ROY because there's no chance he distracts the east coasters from Barkley, but he should be #2.
Is there an AFC award for OROY or is it just for the whole NFL?
Whole NFL. OROY and DROY
**** that guy in NY. PL just needs to keep averaging over 6 ypc and things will work themselves out.

Denver makes the playoffs and I think he'll win it tbh-The Giants suck *** and NFL people respect the Broncos a bit more than the media for the other three sports do the teams in this market.

Would help to toss 3 or 4 passes his way a game too.
Barkley: 954 yards rushing (4.9 ypc), 8 TDs
Lindsay: 937 yards rushing (6.1 ypc), 8 TDs
The problem lies in the receiving game, where Barkley has 74 receptions for 602 yards and 4 TDs, while Phil only has 25 rec for 189 yards and 1 TD. If the Broncos would use PL in the same capacity the Giants use Barkley he'd be a lock for ROY and probably right there with Gurley for MVP.
Lindsay: 937 yards rushing (6.1 ypc), 8 TDs

Basically, all the per carry/per touch and other efficiency stats heavily favor Lindsay, but East Coast gonna East Coast.
I love Phil and hope he wins it, but you know that "East Coast" argument is bull****. Barkley is an absolute beast and can be utilized to a higher degree than Phil.
Says the East Coast guy, lol. Barkley can be utilized to a higher degree than Phil meaning what? Are you saying because he’s physically bigger, Barkley can be used more?
They are both excellent. You are wrong with the "can be" part. Phil is absolutely able to handle a huge usage load. If anything, college suggests that Phil is better able to do it than Barkley.
Yes, I am saying from a strictly physical point of view, Barkley is someone who can be a workhorse every down back. Phil is phenomenal but I'm not sure he can be that guy for you. He has limitations there.
That’s where TD’s career began as well.
