McGuire Cashes In On Shrine Game Appearance

[SlickRick]

Ran well, blocked well. Had a couple of long down carries called back due to penalties. Was only in for their first two offensive series. Their OL had some problems blocking Titans DL and he was stopped at the LOS a few times, with no place to go. They play the Lions this Saturday night. Should be able to watch replay on NFL network. This first game replay aired at 6 this morning.

The son of the late Elijah McGuire, Sr. (who passed away when Elijah was just 12 years old) led the state of Louisiana in rushing as a senior with 2,603 yards while also throwing for 497 yards and five scores. Since signing on with the Ragin' Cajuns as a running back, he's racked up over 4,000 career yards. He was the Sun Belt Conference's Freshman of the Year in 2013 and first-team all-conference pick (863 yards, eight TD rushing; 22-384, 3 TD receiving), leading the FBS with an average of 8.4 yards per carry.

That is an impressive statistic

So..Eli?

I think he gets some significant playing time as the season goes on...

Nice. Thanks. I would like to see him get more involved in the passing game. I think that is where his skillset will be displayed.

Most importantly why are we having this conversation in the Prophets thread.

I'll just leave that thought out there to ponder.

[CajunAmos]

Since we have a second coming of Elijah, any nicknames forthcoming?

Let him show his skill on the field then the nicknames will follow.

Exactly...these types of things need to be earned and developed naturally.

Hell yeah!

6 rushes, 29 yards (Long 11). 1 reception 7 yards. Think he'll see the field more next week.

[CrappDaddy]

This is only the beginning. He'll be a household name a year or 2 from now.

Did Eli score today. Didn't see the T D stat.

Nope. Eli's time will come. Forte is getting up in age for a RB.

Two TD receptions for Kearse and two FGs

You think? because that would be great for both him and UL.

The Jets looked a bit better today on offense than last week. They mixed it up with Forte, Eli and Powell pretty well. Forte clearly the #1 and looked solid. Obviously he's not a long term solution though.

Eli definitely has the trust of the staff. He was in on a 4th and 1 run up the middle later on in the game inside the red zone. The play was called back on a delay of game or timeout (can't remember exactly) but good to see him being called upon in those situations. Can't wait to see him shake loose and rip off a 20+ yarder.
