Disappointing Preseason Week 1 for Moore

Posted on August 4, 2020 at 12:45 PM.

Eric Moore was the 3rd down back for Houston this Sunday. Taking the ball 5 times and only gaining 8 yards for an abysmal 1.6 yards per carry.

Moore got targeted twice in the air. His first, and only, catch got him 3 yards. His second target got swatted at the line, falling incomplete.

In the return game, Moore only saw one chance to return, taking it 18 yards and showing off a pretty juke that gained him an at least five yards on his return.

Overall, Moore needs to be more powerful if he wants to be a third down back.

Eric Moore Preseason

Posted on August 3, 2020 at 11:15 PM.

Eric Moore makes the depth chart coming into week 1 of the preseason.

The rookie squeaked in as RB #4.

He did, however, take over as the kick returner and punt returner. So, Moore should hopefully see plenty of playing time to make up for his lack of snaps.

Eric Moore Draft

Eric Moore goes sooner than expected, being taken late in the 5th by the Houston Texans.

Questionable move by the Texans, as Moore is a horrible scheme being put in an extremely crowded running back room. It will be questionable if Moore even sees time in the preseason.

Senior running back from Villanova has eyes set on NFL.

Projected to mid 6th round, Moore had a respectable career with the Wildcats.

Having good speed and acceleration, and boasting elite agility, Moore hopes to bring the play making and elusiveness of his game to the NFL.

However, teams will be wary about his poor ball carrying skills and inability to break tackles.

Moore shouldn't have to worry about breaking tackles too much though, as his spins and jukes will leave defenders in the dust, giving him big play potential, but definitely not one to push the pile on short downs.
