Favor your boy all you want but:
....he was indeed being outplayed, by a 6th round WR. As for Mattison, Mike Boone has ran well against backups. Mattison has played against starters the majority of the time. Either way, 2 months or not, Butler is going to struggle to find his way back on the field. You really have little argument now given Butler was being outplayed by a 6th rounder and now done for the year.
So you side step the fact that our own pick was being outplayed by our UDFA by claiming he was running with the first stringers mostly? Boone is the better back at this point. His burst, vision and feel for the position is better and Mattison in the 3rd was still unneeded. As I predicted our WR depth is horrible. You were so sure bebbe would be the answer and everything after Diggs and AT has been a dumpster fire. Your new love Johnson was getting chewed out two weeks ago along with all the other young WRs for showing nothing. We have 4 now and you still think you are winning this dick measuring contest. You're wrong about WR depth being unimportant and we are #### this season. I was right that it was more important. Now we have a surplus of rbs even if Cook goes down.
Lol ok dude. I guess given the fact that Boone played well against defenses that were compiled of guys that got cut over the past few days makes him a better RB than Mattison who again, was playing against starters. This is almost similar to a Kyle Sloter situation. He’s playing well against a bunch of practice squad or worse players. Also, given the fact that dalvin cook has yet to play a full season, we rely on mike Boone for insurance? Boone’s talent and Mattisons talent aren’t even close. Mattison is a do-it-all 3 down workhorse. Proved it time and time again in college. Boone hardly broke 100 carries each year in college. Mattisons final 2 years he was over 200 and 300 carries. There is zero proof Boone could be any type of workhorse whatsoever.
And bottom line is, you were raving about butler and how he would have been a steal and the guy was getting outplayed by everybody WR on that 53 man roster. So you can sit here and bark all you want about mattison being a wasted pick but in the end, it would have been butler that would have been the wasted pick given how he showed in Arizona.
As for Bisi Johnson, the guy actually made plays this preseason, something butler failed to do. And yeah Zim got on the rookie receivers in what? The first week of camp? Either way, Johnson showed up in the preseason and made plays.
The Cardinals weren't happy with Butlers play throughout the offseason, and he'll likely be a few more steps behind Andy Isabella and KeeSean Johnson when he returns next offseason. Butler is merely a dynasty hold given Arizona's air raid offense, but it's hard to be overly optimistic right now.
^not a good sign at all.
Dalvin Cook played the first two series, but Mattison got some reps with the starters. Mattison was outshined by Cook in this one, but he's had a solid preseason (94 total yards, 3.5 YPC) and has been the talk of training camp. With the Vikings committed to the run and Cook's injury history, Mattison is a high-end handcuff that could push for standalone value.
The Vikings have a rookie RB named Alexander Mattison who they were all raving about when I stopped by their camp," Glazer writes. "I mean, to a man, couldn’t stop preaching his gospel."
^good sign.
You have little argument here
