“Film don’t lie, man,” stated receiver Tetairoa McMillan. “Everybody in Bank of America Stadium can see what number 5 is doing out there and, you know, he’s a big part of the reason why his offense is going, so shout out to Rico, just driving us down the field, finishing plays, and he doing his thing for sure.”
Dowdle has now done his thing for two straight weeks. He’s been filling in on the starting role for Chuba Hubbard, who continues to be sidelined with a calf injury. And with these two performances, he’s helped spark an offense that is finding their chemistry and groove with each other.
“Just looked like the same guy last week, ran with violence, had a plan, a man on a mission that wants to make yards and really just take our schemes and make them come alive,” said Canales.
Added quarterback Bryce Young, “When you get to watch that, I always say, I get to watch the end zone view of film live, and it’s so much fun being able to turn around and, and watch, to see all the great stuff that our backs do. So, we’re glad he’s with us.
“Violent, someone who’s super explosive, really patient, and then when he decides to put his foot in the ground and go, he has bad intentions.”
