Walker vs Robinson: who has the edge?
By: Jake Rajala
The Kansas City Chiefs take on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. If the Falcons could bring back Matt Ryan or Michael Vick back from the dead, then they may stand a chance in this contest.
The two best running backs will play in this game: Bijan Robinson and Kenneth Walker. Kenneth Walker was the Super Bowl MVP last season. I can’t say the other (Robinson) was on the golf course in the playoffs last season because Atlanta had rare snow last January.
Robinson has Cam Skattebo syndrome right now. He has fumbled twice in the past three games. There was another elite RB by name of Adrian Peterson, who had some fumbling issues. Robinson’s talent can outweigh the lack of ball security, but I obviously wouldn’t say he’s quite on the same level as Peterson. Peterson can carry the draft bust Christian Ponder to the playoffs. Obviously, Robinson can’t put the Falcons on his back and not have a losing record.
Eric Bieniemy played running back in the NFL, so he knows the position like the back of his hand. Yes, I’m talking about the offensive coordinator “who doesn’t do well in interviews”. Yes, it’s hard to take that concern with him seriously. Brian Flores is in a similar situation, but he coaches on defense.
Both ball-carriers may do very well for the rest of the season. They should hope to not be the next RB to be on Madden, however. We’ve seen what the Madden curse did to Saquon Barkley.
