Should we worry about Kyren’s fumbles?

[OnceARam]

Wanted to take the pulse of the board given his two fumbles vs. Wash.

He got it out of his system. Better yesterday to have this happen than on Thursday.

He has fumbled before, but yeah i like that perspective. We fans expect a finished product but he is still growing into a featured back role.

Once is a fluke, twice is a pattern, three times a trend. I am not worried yet.

 

[Angry Ram]

Wake me up when it becomes repetitive.

When? He hadn't yet this year that I can recall. That's why I'm not worried - I think he's the type that doesn't fumble, so having these should ensure it doesn't happen again

He fumbled against the colts earlier this year.

Not worried about the fumbles... yet.

I believe he will correct it. He has a shot of breaking Gurley's record of 100 yard games in a season. Gurley had 6 and Williams now has 5 with 3 games left.

Surprised that I'm the only one who voted Yes so far.
Most games with 2 fumbles will result in a loss.
I don't know how it can not be a concern.

 

[Oyster]

I voted that it's a concern. But what he brings FAR outweighs any concern. Play him!

ED had 12 100 yard games in 85, just sayin

On Kyren, the concern is that his fumbles seem to occur when he's fighting for extra yards, and seemingly succeeding as well. So correcting it is a slippery slope as you surely dont want him to not fight for it. All in all, not worried

 

[LARAMSinFeb.]

My view is now defenders will be grabbing for the ball instead of wrapping him up, and Kyren will make them pay. I think he shook it off and finished the game his normally unstoppable self anyway.

But that hasn’t been most games with him.

 

[PARAM]

It happens in a win, no worries. In a loss, concern. But I'm sure he's going to squeeze a little more going forward.

 

[tempests]

As others have said, only if it becomes a recurring issue. He has fumbled three times in 216 touches this season, not excessive.

 

[So Ram]

It will be a point of emphasis this short week. This Saints game means EVERYTHING!!!

 Kyren is learning that, in the NFL, defenders are much more aggressive at ripping out the rock. Furthermore, I know everyone and their grandmother is warning him that, once you develop a rep as a fumbler, defenders are going to test you on that until you prove you have adapted solid carrying technique(s).

Welcome to the life of an NFL bellow RB!!!

 

[OldSchool]

McVay said he isn't, and I wasn't even before I heard him say that.

not to hijack the thread, but that guy was a joy to watch...
