Welcome Kimani Vidal, RB, Troy

[Topcat]

This area was a disaster for us last year and I started leaving the room in short yardage situations.

Better than throwing something at the TV...I actually used to know a guy, BIG Arkansas Razorbacks fan, whose team was losing, and he actually broke his TV with a bat...talk about hard core...

[Topcat]

That is a good and correct point. That is the one thing he lacks. He is not a burner.

Still an interesting player. You don't get perfection in the 6th round. Does enough things well to have 3 down potential.

Actually, I kind of like that Vidal won't take it to the house on long runs...he WILL eat up the clock like crazy with all those first downs, and keep Mahomes OFF the field more...

What was the name of that RB from Buffalo college that was built just like this kid? He had one decent year for us as UDFA and then I think he tore his Achilles. That is who I see when I watch Vidal.

Oh, that area got solved just by the Harbaugh hire alone.
Then add Roman, Alt, Gus, JK Vidal and Mason..

And there it is. Gus Bus and JK can hammer opposing teams for 2 1/2 quarters.
Then bring in the fresh legs with Vidal and just run that clock right out and put opposing offenses on ice.

That's not 'hard core'... That's a-hole psychopathy. Losing one's shit over a game is not the sign of mental stability and wellness.

Usually, shit faced drunk.

Amazing how often those two go hand in hand. That must be a coincidence, right? Here. Hold my beer.

Watching a lot of his long runs it seemed the opponents were playing a lot of deep cover 2 or high FS. Take a look and the people that caught him were usually playing very deep and had good angles. He did not have a lot of runs where guys were running him down from behind, just good angles. That is where you need a WR putting in one good block and it would spring him all the way.
