Obviously happy with the win, which is all that matters and Bijan is finally starting to get better usage, but it is yet another game under 20 touches for him. For context, here are players this year with more 20-touch games than Bijan:
Christian McCaffrey
Raheem Mostert
Brian Robinson
Josh Jacobs
Travis Etienne
Derrick Henry
Saquon Barkley
D’Andre Swift
Joe Mixon
Tony Pollard
Isaiah Pacheco
Rachaad White
James Cook
Kenneth Walker
Rhanondre Stevenson
Zack Moss
Javonte Williams
David Montgomery
Alvin Kamara
Kyren Williams
Austin Ekeler
Jonathan Taylor
That’s now 22 players with more 20-touch games than Bijan, and only Kyren Williams and Raheem Mostert are averaging more ypc.
Can’t help but think how much easier things would be if the team fed its best player more.
We ran the ball down their throats we don’t need Pitts in when we’re worried about blocking that’s been made very clear all year.
Cool…again what is the point of him getting 2-5 targets a game playing 50-60% of snaps? We should have traded him. Wasted draft capital. We best move him for whatever we can in offseason. Clearly he is not really in the plans as a featured guy in this offense. I am sure there would be some teams who have a coach with a clue how to use talented players who would give us a mid rd pick.
Pitts just isn’t that good. When was the last time he made a play that was exciting? His injury messed him up and he’s a liability blocking. Don’t be surprised when we trade him for a 4th or 5th. GMs don’t hold onto hype the way fanbases do.
