Devon Achane is Tyreek as a running back. Oh my!!!

[dreamblk]

I was thinking if Tyreek and Waddle were on the field a whole game in any game we would not lose. Thus the head hunting on Waddle.
Now I realize I was wrong actually if Achane and Tyreek are on the field a whole game we will not lose a game. Achane is doing the same stuff he did in college with no drop-off in fact he is expanding.
He is almost a complete RB he rarely fumbles even in college. Never loses yardage and always moves forward. A legit red zone threat to run the ball. Has great hands to catch.
How did he fall that way down in the draft? I was so happy we got him instead of a lineman. Just like Tyreek, he is a big play waiting to happen. Chris Grier and MCD excellent draft just to get him. Achane I believe is going to be a special player.

God bless you, young man.

I've been pumped since the moment we drafted him.

He can block pretty well for a guy his size and his hands are elite.

Couldn't have gone to a better system.

He’s going to be a star if he can stay healthy.

He's a lighter version of tyreek. Motion a lot of him like Tyreek but instead of routes, they are designing run plays. It's a solid 3rd round pick that add more options for the playcaller. I can see us focusing in on defense early rounds and quick players in the later rounds.

Not even lighter. Tyreek at his Pro Day was 5’8 and 1/8 and weighed 185. Achane was 5’8 and 1/2 and weighed 188. Tyreek ran a Pro Day 4.29. Achane ran a Combine 4.32.

Lot of similarities…

At last game's interview together, Hill was a couple of inches taller than Achane.

He is so strong never goes down on the first hit it takes multiple attempts to tackle him and get him down. watch those TDs most running backs would have been tackled.
I think he going be a key factor this weekend to beating Buffalo. This Kid is special.

 

[Tuaffinity and Beyond]

So Tyreek as the RB he was?

 

[tommyp]

i drafted him AND Mostert on my fantasy team.. now the question is do i start 2 rb's from the same team .. after last game i might have no choice

I think part of a players success is the coaching staff’s ability to place the player in a position to maximize his strengths.
Achane fits what McD wants and coach draws up plays to fit.
On the flip side remember how rough Ryan Tannehill had it with us. I don’t remember exactly but he had like 3 different HCs and 3 different OCs in four years.

Plus Tyreek even was a RB in college.

I was very pleased with how he ran the ball Sunday, not just the speed but as noted his ability to find the available yards and move forward slicing between tacklers. He has speed but looks like toughness and instincts too. He may be too small for 20+ touches a game but he looks like a complete RB with passing game chops so I'm totally pumped we have him. I was a big proponent of using one of our early picks this past draft on a back and Achane certainly looks like he will be paying some big dividends there. Just hope these guys can stay healthy, would like to get Wilson back so we can throw 3-4 backs out there any given game to lessen the pounding on any one of them, if Mostert/Achane are still healthy come Dec/Jan we will be in extremely solid shape entering money time.

Huh, I double checked, and you're right about that. IDK for some reason Hill just looks like a bruiser player, looks more stocky, but guess I was wrong.

I would love to see some plays were we start with 2 RB (Mostert/Achane) motion Achane out with Hill/Waddle outside. Now that is some speed on the field right there.

Opposing DC going over the film.

I think as Achane gets comfortable in the system you might see him line up wide more. Imagine Hill, Waddle, Mostert, Berrios, and Achane on the field at the same time! Hope Barfalo is ready for that...
