chickenheart Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 The Washington Post reports that Redskins coach Mike Shanahan has been pleased with rookie RB Roy Helu and his play during the first two weeks of the season. Helu rushed for 74 yards on 10 carries, adding three catches for 38 yards in Week 2 against the Cardinals. “When you’ve got a guy like Helu, you don’t know why guys make plays, but the great ones do,” Shanahan said. “I think Helu is giving people ideas that he can make plays. He’s got some speed, some running ability and it’ll be an ongoing evaluation of him. Can he pick up blitzes? Can he hold onto the football? But I was pleased with what he’s done through the preseason and our second regular season game, and hopefully he continues to grow.” Awesome! Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 That's good to hear, but I just hope he can stay healthy long enough to have a successful career. Quote Link to comment
