Commish's Take

He beat the one man he had to and literally bowled over one of his blockers (Braden Smith) to get to the right spot to walk in for the TD.

Agreed.
Again, we need to give him some time given the lack of a pre-season.

My son wants JT to run for 2,500 yards this year and is so far disappointed.

I have been telling him to wait until the 2nd half of the season. He did not get RB1 reps in TC and it shows.

I think his production in the 2nd half of the season will look VERY different than from the first half of the season as he gets used to his blockers and more in sync with the offensive system.

We will see but I think we will be happy we have him for the long run.
