Don't care. He is absolutely crushing it. He's the RotY right now through 5 games. Hope he keeps it up

That's crazy to be averaging 11 yards per carry this far into the season.

It's almost like we underutilized him.

It's almost like we didn't have an OL that had any semblance of run blocking ability......

Emmitt Smith couldn't have run behind this OL or last year's.

Orange bowl year we had a good OL. We won games. Funny how that works.

We've had QBs go down three years in a row behind a bad OL.

After taking too many shots, Max got up off the turf really grimacing one time. Wouldn't be surprised if he isn't already playing hurt.

With his speed, difficulty to bring down, and contact balance, anytime he gets a lane or runs through a tackle he can go for six.

It helps that Miami has 2 burners at WR because the D has to be honest.

QBs win this award. It will be Stroud if the Texans turn in a respectable season and he keeps performing.

Wangus said as of now through 5 games...and I say he wins it easily if he finishes remotely close to what he is doing...over 110yds/gm, over 10yds/carry.... those are all time good.

How many times did you refer to him as ACHAIN while sitting around being amongst the worst posters on this board?

When you make a post, make sure you know what you're talking about.

Maybe the O-Line coach is the issue?

When you are having this kind of rookie year, you can pronounce your name anyway you want. You can even make upanew name.

It would help if he hadn't told everybody his freshman year that it was pronounced "ay-chain", not "ah-chain".

Regardless, IDGAF. I love that kid. Call him Mickey Mouse if that's what he wants. He's killing it.

Could have won the Heisman if our coach had utilized his talents properly.

Evidently reading comprehension escapes you. The examples I gave are how football analyst and announcers are pronouncing his name. All incorrect

A couple are exaggerations, but the point is they are pronouncing incorrectly.

Except when Howie Long got it right in the post game. He got the memo

^ not sure what youre talking about. most everyone i've heard was pronouncing it the way we understand it was pronounced if you go back to our own media guide his freshman year.

Then he goes and changes it and now i hear everyone pronouncing it like he asked.

Either Achane never corrected it here like he should have, OR he changed it. Either way, this doesnt sound like a media problem.

p.s. i'm very curious how people who knew him im high school pronounced it. surely there are a few here...

As someone with a (apparently) difficult to pronounce name, I must say- how dare you victim shame!

I like how the Miami radio broadcast announces it…
