Chris Wade - muffs the handoff, but my God, what explosiveness


Recommended Posts

That 65 TD run was an absolute thing of beauty.  Textbook counter, hit the hole, through the seam, and untouched for 65 years.

 

If he can do that on kickoffs and punts. . .damn, what a possibility for a returner!

Makes sense if they didn't just sign an all-pro returner. BUT...he can take Yeldon's spot I am on board with that.

He almost fumbled the handoff.  Watch it closely.  IT takes him a split second to get it into his hands.  That aside, he was impression on that run with his cuts and vision.

 

Yes. He almost lost it down off his hip. Great recovery. Hey, different ball, different dimensions and all that.

I’m not sure one run against the grocery baggers on the colts puts him in rotation in the regular season. It was a great run and an even better story for the NFL and the international program they’re trying to work. I’m rooting for the guy but as stated above he’s perfect to chill on the practice squad for a year and really learn this game

I'm not knocking him.  Good rugby instincts not to lose the ball.  He took the handoff like he was playing on the pitch and ran with it like he was on the pitch and clear.

 

Dude did great and I was impressed with his raw skill and talent for a different sport.  I want this guy to be successful.  I am solidly a fan of Wade and want him on the team.

That's true.  I love his work ethic too.  He is 100% team first.  Again, against eighth stringers or not, it flashed talent and talent always needs to be noticed.

Since he came from the NFL international Pathway program he gets a free slot on the practice squad all season

 

Maybe next year we have a fast , hard running back for 3-4 years

 

If he keeps this up over the next few weeks, we may not be able to store him safely on the practice squad.
