Austin Eckeler Appreciation Thread

[gzubeck]

I'd like us to use him likes Sproles.

Didn't understand why Spiller & Horvath didn't play this year. (I thought they were going to be a 1-2 punch with Ek as 3rd down back...)

Or moving him to WR?

Go Eckler!!!

Go Bolts!!!

This...plus the oline sucked all season long for running and then your given the pink slip.

Eke is a M. Turner.
We need a L. Tomlinson.

What’s the list like?

Is he the greatest undrafted RB of all time ?

Major kudos to the scout that found him and brought him in.
Ekeler is a stud!

San Diego's own Arian Foster probably better.
Priest Holmes probably the best.

I would like to find a better TE, because when he plays RB, he does his best work on option routes, and those work best with an option route guy at TE, or with a real pass catcher-type TE running MESH combinations with Ekeler.

The rest of the time, I would rather see him get more reps as a slot WR. In 2019, he spent a lot of time in the slot, and that season he caught more than half his TD and almost half his 1st downs from the slot. But until we have a more heavy duty type of RB, it is going to be tough getting him out of the backfield. That RB may be Spiller, but he was so under whelming, it is hard to think you can count on it.

Texas concept anyone? Dang its good to see you posting brother. Aloha.
