I miss him so much. The broncos decision making at running back was so bad back then. He was averaging like 5 yards a carry but Melvin Gordon continuously got more carries
While normally I would agree because I loved Lindsay with the Broncos, he was purely a rusher and the Broncos were looking for a RB who could block as well. That’s why Melvin Gordon was brought in, Melvin Gordon was trash at rushing for the broncos but he was a consistent blocker and receiver.
@@cartercrowther3125averaged 4.5 yards a carry and NEVER fumbled, he also averaged over a 70% completion rate when targeted so this narrative is a little skewed. That’s nearly the same as Gordon’s 75% completion rate. Yet one could run the ball and we decided to start the man who must’ve lathered up in vegetable oil before each game.
@@MonkayMan420 watch the game for once in your life. Lindsay dropped so many 3 down passes and never broke a tackle in his whole career. Kinda hard to fumble when you fall over on first contact. Gordon ran hard unlike Lindsey. And I distinctly remember Lindsey fumbling a direct snap in the game we played without a QB in the covid season so even that no fumble stat was false. I watched the games Lindsey wasn't half of what you guys claimed he was. Especially after Jano left.
It was never retired, Lindsay just had the respect to ask Davis if it was okay if he can wear it even though he could’ve without asking, honestly I think number 2 looked good on him in the preseason
He was clearly the guy, and then they went and signed Melvin Gordon big money for no reason. It's a bad business man, he had his best seasons making undrafted money
@@UGAfan1227 He could catch decently just not as well as the broncos wanted and he was undersized and couldn’t really block but he was still a beast runner like they couldn’t have got a fullback
@SnuggieMaple why waste a roster spot on a FB when they can use it on an important position they needed filled? he didn't have the best vision while running the ball. once teams realized he was just gonna try to bounce outside all the time, the started shutting him down and his production dropped big time.
to explain why he got cut ill explain as a Denver fan. Pretty much him being in the game was a direct sign that we were running the ball as he wasn’t a good receiving back and was to small to pass pro; which is very valuable in the play action game. Not only that but he wasn’t very patient when it came to waiting for block or hitting the hole- he bounced it outside as much as possible and it worked for a minute until defenses keyed in on this. they turned from 15+ yard runs to gains of nothing. He struggled to develop his vision and was cut therefore- love the dude tho ❤
@@VerbalIntercourse and he hasn't done anything since. He's not some rising star the Broncos threw away, he has 300 yards in the last 3 years. Not to take anything away from the guy, but once you know his tricks he's not hard to stop. Broncos made the right decision
@@VerbalIntercourse Yeah but he was a liability with the other skills you need to. Be an RB in the NFL. He wasn't a great pass catcher and he was 5'8 190 trying to block 6'4 275 linemen coming full speed at him so of course he was bad at it. Running had nothing to do with it. RBs are easy to find these days.
Because,unlike the past, any regular human being can be a"reporter". This dude is probably 16 and never even watched a football game. Just copy and paste his"information,"
Because he's involved in Rb conversations of why rb isn't getting paid enough and the broncos refuse to paid him and wanted him to get paid minimum like running back.
The fact that this man was even blessed enough to excel in a game he loved while staying in his home state for college AND the NFL while also being able to represent it to the fullest is an absolutely amazing feat.. I’m pretty confident that he, along with the his family and friends and loved ones, are very proud of him and his achievements. Props to him. Such a solid dude.
Waited on the dude and his fam every couple weeks up until recently. Hes always been low key, polite, and cool to fans who say hi to him. Straight up class athlete but even classier person.
Partied with him up on the hill in Boulder he was always so cool also partied with chidobe awuze they were Hella good guys glad to see how they are doing these days!!
No way he had like 100 yards with the Texans in a backfield that had trash burkhead a ancient mark ingram & a crippled david johnson. Even Tyrod Taylor had more yards than him w the Texans that season
To everyone not in Colorado, he also has a sports radio job on 104.3 FM “The Fan”. I don’t listen to a lot of sports radio, but it seems like he has a heavy involvement in the radio show
They did Lindsay Dirty Broncos had nobody really and he had back to back 1000 yards seasons and then they got Gordon and he did nothing really and they cut him I just didn’t understand why they did him like that was he the best running back no but he was a good one and I believe the broncos haven’t had a 1000 rusher since he was on the team
Dude that boy was full of heart strength and just love for the game I’m sad to see he’s not playing professional football. He could just flat out run the ball
Because he was one dimensional and couldn’t catch the ball or pass protect. As messed up as it sounds you can’t have a pure rusher as your best offensive player in todays league
yeah, but as mentioned before, Phillip Lindsay is "kicking Ass" as a host in the late afternoon on 104.3 the FAN, with Zach Bye .. He didn't just have it handed to him like Derek Wolf, and others. But he has been able to stay there only because he's got natural talent !! The name got him in, but his knowledge of the game and other pro sports, will keep him there for a very long time , if he so desires. He's a winner ..
Bro had 1200 yards his first season in the nfl and got cut. Thats tough.
Couldn’t block or catch. Defenses just knew he was just gonna run when he’s in
@@billpham632 true that, never really seen him play, was just going off the video, thanks for the good info though man 🫡
@@MadMetaGamerbe caught 35 passes so not totally incompetent at catching
He was very undersized tho. Could not block and wasn't versatile in the pass catching scenes.
Sometimes your just not who the coach want to be running the 🏈🤷🏿♂️
I miss him so much. The broncos decision making at running back was so bad back then. He was averaging like 5 yards a carry but Melvin Gordon continuously got more carries
And always fumbled
Yeah amd Melvin Gordon was trash with the broncos. Lindsay was a beast
Everybody looking for CMC want a running back to catch the ball 60 times a season while rushing for 1200 💀💀😂😂shit is so sick
While normally I would agree because I loved Lindsay with the Broncos, he was purely a rusher and the Broncos were looking for a RB who could block as well. That’s why Melvin Gordon was brought in, Melvin Gordon was trash at rushing for the broncos but he was a consistent blocker and receiver.
@@SnoranBoran321 and fumbler 😂😂💀💀💀 teams need to go back to the traditional running back
Nowadays, we can enjoy him discuss sports on 104.3 The Fan on ESPN Radio here in Denver.
And so glad they got rid of d Mac for him
I ain’t even a Broncos fan and I’m mad he got cut cuz he was a beast on the field!
He couldn’t catch or block so grand new what he was gonna do
He was better than Freeman, Williams, and Gordon

I liked Lindsay. And I love the fact Terrell Davis unretired his jersey number to let Phillip use it.
TD's number has actually never been retired, though I agree it should be.

Oh ok my mistake I misheard it. Thank you

wasn't good at pass blocking, and struggled big time catching the ball out of the backfield. Gordon was needed and why he ended up starting over him.
@@tjsam805nah he didn't want to go through that door 😈 sell out or get out. That's the NFL

I live in Denver, Colorado, and I listen to sports radio. He is a radio host now for 1043. The fan.
Is he done with football?
The Drive
Lyndsay went to the bar I worked at many times, he was always chill and never had an issue with him.
Him getting cut is crazy
I didnt see him play but Im pretty sure he got cut because he couldnt block or catch.
Ye

He wasn’t cut after his rookie season, he played in Denver from 2018-2020 seasons and was a free agent in 2021. Idk why the guy made it so misleading

Guy? Or girl?? 🤷♂️
Dude was on the dolphins for a bit too. He had good moments from what I remember but just didn’t get used bc of Myles Gaskin
I saw him as a Seattle dragon (now dissolved) at dc. Man he couldn’t even get a rushing yard. How time flies

i was so hyped when he came to Indy, too bad we didn’t utilize him the way he could’ve.. could’ve been a fantastic duo with Taylor
Waited on the dude and his fam every couple weeks up until recently. Hes always been low key, polite, and cool to fans who say hi to him. Straight up class athlete but even classier person.
This dude was a good back.
This man has heart and the discipline to get back to the NFL…..and dominate if with the right team and scheme. I’m rooting for him!
Now he’s doing radio with 104.3 The Fan
He’s doing great
Partied with him up on the hill in Boulder he was always so cool also partied with chidobe awuze they were Hella good guys glad to see how they are doing these days!!
This was a good one, I've been wondering about him
He could still play 💯
No way he had like 100 yards with the Texans in a backfield that had trash burkhead a ancient mark ingram & a crippled david johnson. Even Tyrod Taylor had more yards than him w the Texans that season
Prolly not lol😂
He averaged 2.8 ypc in the XFL, lol
He deserved so much more in the NFL
I'm praying for you brother
I feel you
Let's go 🔥
Colorado always Colorado 🦬
To everyone not in Colorado, he also has a sports radio job on 104.3 FM “The Fan”. I don’t listen to a lot of sports radio, but it seems like he has a heavy involvement in the radio show
Colorado LEGEND. love that dude
Underrated af. In the right system he could’ve still be playing rn.
My left earbud loves this video
My right earbud does too 🤜🤛
Dude is on the radio in Denver. Part of Zach and Phillip in the afternoon on 103.4 the fan. Still has mad love for this city
My left ear thanks you for the dialogue and my right ear appreciates the beats.

Crazy how many dope players just fall through the cracks.
Now he's a host on local radio, second all time favorite bronco back
His family the “Lindsay’s” were the greatest youth football coaches I ever had 😢
The Colorado kid! Made some great memories in Denver
Dude that boy was full of heart strength and just love for the game I’m sad to see he’s not playing professional football. He could just flat out run the ball
That's crazy smh he should still be in the NFL
He now does sports radio on 104.3 the fan Denver!! Super funny guy to listen to from 2-6pm everyday!!
Phillip Lindsay was one of the best backs the nfl will ever see come and go so fast, to fast.
I was stoked when the dolphins signed him..
He is an incredible human. He taught me how to run the ball for three years straight at CU football camps as a kid. Such a good dude.
He was one player that you could easily root for .
I watched this cat in college and in the pros while living in Denver and he deserved a contract after that rookie season he had!
My left ear loved this.
With over 700 touches, he never fumbled. Insane he had to play in the xfl
As a broncos fan, I'd love to see this guy back in the NFL
Us Denver fans still love him 💙🧡
Philip is nfl worthy talent, the business just didn’t fw him as many high quality athletes
Hope bro does. Anyone who still pursuing there dreams of playing football has my total respect.
Love this guy🙏🏿
Wtf waives a rookie that has over 1200 yards and ten TDs????
Ikr
Its bc we traded for Melvin Gordon and drafted Javonte Williams. It was stupid
That’s the NFL! nothing makes sense. Fake ass football league
When you pay the QBs the bulk of the money everyone else gets the scraps just look at the Running Backs on some of these teams
This dude just lied. Lindsay played for the broncos for two seasons after his rookie year
Had him as a flex on my fantasy team in 2018. Dude was killing it!
Had 8 games over 15 points and only 3 games under 10 points that season 💪🏼
He’s doing radio now. He’s on the local sports show called 104.3 The Fan in Denver
Failed to mention he is currently a member of 104.3 the fan lol. He does a talk show 2-6 every weekday and is still a huge fan of the broncos.
I miss Phil, he was fun to watch
i remember picking him up in fantasy that year… what a beast
I miss Lindsay! Hope he makes it back to NFL!!!
Rage Against the Machine’s singer got jacked!! 😳💪🏽
Looks liked he bulked up in the XFL.. Crazy how these RBs come and go in a flash
Broncos should have never let him go. Hometown talent. Never fumbled. Played his ass off. Loved watching him. Really not sure why we let him go
Because he was one dimensional and couldn’t catch the ball or pass protect. As messed up as it sounds you can’t have a pure rusher as your best offensive player in todays league
2 1,000 yard seasons and 0 fumbles in his professional career. he deserves another shot if he can produce.
The fact he was undrafted with a college career that he had was craziness. And he was built like a tank
I listen to him almost daily on the radio in Colorado. 104.3 The Fan.
As a Broncos fan I would be ok with Phillip coming back
Played ball at Denver north high school class of 2013. South was one of our rivals
As a broncos fan. This team kills me sometimes. Gad DAYUHHHM
Damn I didn’t realize that had been so long ago I assumed he was still on a roster, damn I’m getting old
Phillip is hard runner. He’d fit perfect in Baltimore 🙏

My fav Buff & Bronco, next to Alfred Wiliams.
It interests us more to watch our realism than to watch someone else’s realism
Now he’s doing a sports radio show in Denver. 104.3 The Fan, and he’s actually fun to listen to
He was such a dawg, nobody in league believed in him.
Fantasy football legend.
W Colorado for not removing his scholarship just because of an injury man. He is a Beast from his stats. I hope we can see him in the u f l soon
Phillip Lindsay is now on Denver Sports Talk Radio.
Other than Terrell Davis he’s my absolute favorite running back in history. Such a shame Denver let him go
bros never fumbled
Was a dawg and one of my favorite players
His whole family was ballers in every sport they did
he should be with a nfl team right now, he's really good
He is now doing afternoon sports radio in Denver on 104.3 The Fan. Doesn’t sound like he’s making any sort of come back
Fuck the money he’s a legend for his city and a hometown hero
one of my favorite players of all time i have his signed jersey
He seemed to always find a way on my team when I did fantasy drafts on madden
He’s now doing radio for local Denver Sports Radio
never understood why we cut him, loved the guy
Bro has never fumbled I think
as a broncos fan i’m still upset about his release
I live in CO and listen to him on "The Drive" on 104.3 the fan!
Philip Lindsey lives in my neighborhood. I just saw him at target the other day. He seems to be doing well.
Man I miss this man in Denver
I never understood Broncos cutting him. Every time I think of the Broncos I always think of Philip Lindsay
I would love to see him play in the NFL again.
Prime example.of.a.player overrating himself. He couldnt block and couldn't catch but wanted a better contract. I liked him. He had alot of heart😊
I listen to him on 104.3 the fan all the time
This reel tickles my left ear
I know he felt good breaking the school, let alone the previous record holder being his dad 😭
I’ll never forget when I walked into a gas station and saw a Philip Lindsay bud light ad
I thought that was DJ envy in the back 😂
