Jaleel McLaughlin

The Titans game was by far their best game on the ground.

And Quinshawn 53 yards for 17 carries only averaged, uh, 3.1 yards per carry, but him and Jaleel McLaughlin each had a rushing touchdown in that game.

And Deshaun had seven rushes for 22 yards.

So a similar sort of performance from him on the ground compared to what we saw against the Titans.

No 100-yard rusher yet through seven games.

They had a 28-yard rusher on one play last time they faced the Cleveland Browns, and that was Jaleel McLaughlin took it to the house for a touchdown.

Since that night where the run defense got, I mean, not gashed necessarily, but they did give up 112 yards in that game, four yards a pop total.

And that one was, you know, sometimes one big play can really hurt you.

I'll read the roster out.

So the starters are Malik Willis, Quinshawn Judkins, Jaleel McLaughlin.

Oh, he's got Scadabo and Monty on buy-in.

Okay.

I'll just read the rosters down.

Jaleel McLaughlin, Jeremy Bernard, Jalen Coker, Mark Andrews, Malik Washington, Chris Gobwin, Denzel Boston, AJ Barner, Greg Dolchich, CJ Shroud, Cam Scadabo, David Montgomery, Malik Neighbors, Pat Bryant, Isaac Tesla, Jalen Noel, Makai Lemon, Travis Hunter, Ricky Pearsall, Jackson Dart, Elijah Arroyo, Drew Aller, and Zadion Thomas.

And now he has his own first in 27 and 28.

He's missing his second in 27, which is fine.

The one question I did have, though, is when you see, you know, obviously Rocket Sanders before his injury, he was averaging five yards per carry.

Jaleel McLaughlin, you know, and those guys just seem to have a little bit more burst to get through that line of scrimmage.

But today, Judkins had that burst to get to the line of scrimmage, and it showed.

Yeah,

right? Yeah.

The only issue is if Judkins does go down, you have Jaleel McLaughlin still there, so I don't know what he would look like if he's more of a main running back guy or they would split.

He wasn't even

used that much, though.

I think he got hurt on like the opening kickoff in week one coming back from a knee injury and he pretty much came in and played the role that we'd expect you saw quinshawn judkins primarily on early downs that goal line back and then you have dylan samson mixing in on early downs but then primarily playing third downs getting the two minute drill work and i just thought he looked good was productive six for 45 on the ground three targets three receptions for 32 yards I think he's someone who could be a really desperate play if you could project a trailing game script.

And then also just a very interesting handcuff if Quinshawn Judkins were to go down, because I do think he's just much better than I mean, who are the dudes stepping in like Jaleel McLaughlin? Do they have Audrick Estime out there, or is that a different team? But you had the mix of guys with Judkins out, Raheem Sanders banged up, Sampson was out, so I think he kind of reclaims that RB2 role.

And then just a straight-up handcuff here, Emmitt Johnson.

I'll talk about it every week.
