Yet it's the really the only gauge we have and it was not a power 5 against a non power 5 schools.
Guess the only real gauge we have is where Zac has them slotted #1, #2, #3
Could go by one of them only had to run for 2 years before NFL ready, one for 3 years, and one for 4 years before ready.
Hope the kid is the greatest thing since Walter Payton and leads the Bengals to the promise land. Have nothing against him at all and he looked good in pre-season but what he does in practice I haven't a clue.
But not taking the coach to task over this, it's hard to assess anyway the way the entire team came out not ready to play early in the season.
Will say this that if any of us were real smart we would have heard a lot of play that Jay Tufele kid before the coaches decided to play him.
I agree he's likely not a Walter Payton sitting on the bench and obviously coaches to see these guys 98% more than we do. But it's not rare for a guy to be buried on the depth chart and emerge as a good player once he gets reps due to injury or whatever the situation may be, especially at the RB position.
With how terrible our run game has been for the past 2 years and Mixon obviously being hurt to start the season it seems silly that Evans has not been given more opportunities to play. Many teams use 3 backs as part of their offense even when 1 isn't playing terrible like Mixon the first 4-5 games.
