Commanders RB Austin Ekeler said the #Chargers told him they were looking for something at the runningback position that he couldn’t offer: "The Chargers came to me and kinda told me what they were looking at in the RB position and it wasn't what I can offer as a player. There was a misalignment. Yeah, they're interested, but are you really? If all else fails, bring Austin back in type of thing? Because I don't want to be in that scenario. If that's your philosophy and what you're telling me and I don't fit that, I gotta look somewhere else." (via @LeBatardShow)
@NFL_DovKleiman yes they were looking for a runningback that can actually run the ball
@NFL_DovKleiman Austin Ekeler: Need 1 yard, he will get you 2. Need 3 yards, he will get you 2. Great receiving back, but he has never been able to run the rock.
@NFL_DovKleiman He never got the credit for carrying Herbert all these years. Time to move on.
@NFL_DovKleiman Hortiz: we need an RB that can run faster than Katt Williams Ekeler: I’m not your guy
@NFL_DovKleiman We knew they would go with a power back and between the tackle back
@NFL_DovKleiman @LeBatardShow Sad that he has to blame then team and not look in the mirror and see that he’s washed.
