rookies made plays, can't be mad at Fitz for being played out of position he's doing the best he can, I've liked KB since preseason and was hoping to see him play well and be a factor. Game again slow to the punch, who knows Asiata might be a player too, but who would know

I've been wondering why Ballage hasn't seen more playing time. I hope he gets more touches the rest of the season. Fitz is a star in the making.
Because Gase will ride a veteran until their legs fall off.
Ballage looks damn fast. Big guy with wheels, hopefully he has a good future with this team.
Ballage combined with Drake is a very good 1-2 punch. Ballage reminds me a litttle bit of Keith Byars.
Gore is a special player that will always make plays.
Fitz is a beast. Maybe the best player on the team

Ballage can run. That was a damn impressive burst.
The knock on him has been that, while he’s a big man, he’s not a physical runner. That part of his game remains to be seen.
But he can be a nice contributor regardless.

I'm excited about what Ballage can do. I liked what I saw on tape and I didn't even realize that top end speed was there. That run reminded me of seeing clips of future NFL running backs when they were in high school - just bigger AND faster than the guys chasing him. Ultimately there are more important things to a runner than just how they look on a breakaway run, but there were already some other things I liked. We need to see if this guy can find holes consistently.

With Gore out and Drake banged up, I would have expected to see Ballage occasionally spelled by Brandon Bolden. Bolden had one carry (or none)?
Looked like one option pass that turned into a run for like 12 yards I think it was
We have great young players just they aren’t consistent yet or they are injured ie Grant/Howard/ Wilson. We have talent just been extremely unlucky this year.
I don’t know why they don’t use Bolden more. He was good last week. Is it because he can’t block? I don’t understand this coaching staff.
Ballage showed good vision on that TD run. We have some serious speed at RB, Bolden included.
