Colts v Jags Collie as RB?

[BerliNY]

Just checked the box score of the Colts v Jags game, looks like Collie had another solid outing, 3 catches for 27 yards plus a TD .... to go along with his 2 YARDS RUSHING on 1 attempt.

I obviously didn't see the game but did collie actually pick up rushing yards? If a screen pass is thrown slightly behind the receiver do the YACs count as rushing yards?

[Schmoe]

If the pass is thrown backwards or laterally then it is considered a pitch and therefore YAC will count for run yards instead of receiving yards.

His two yard gain was on a WR-reverse. He got lit up as he crossed the LOS.

[Schmoe]

Had three catches, one for 23 yards, 2 yards rushing, and one touchdown. Not great, but a decent night.

Don't listen to these guys... they're only yanking your leg.

You seriously didn't hear that Collie is the new starting runningback?

I thought he would be the new quarterback. REmember he was taking practice snaps last year. That Manning guy is no good lol.

Collie is probably the 5th-best rookie WR in the NFL this year, and not too far off from the 1st (before factoring in punt/kicks returns). And those guys aren't too far behind guys like Knowshon Moreno and Mark Sanchez for Rookie of the Year. Austin has had an amazing year, and so has his team.

My brother and I were debating yesterday who was BYU's cockiest player last year, Collie, Tavernari, or Hall. It's hard to declare a winner there. Not that being cocky as an athlete is particularly a bad thing, on the court or the field.
