This account is pretty good. He’s gotten a lot of stories of just how bad. I believe Michael Rubin responded to him once and he called him out to go on a podcast

Pair him up with Swift. If Dillon is going to replace Swift to go along with Gainwell then that's pretty bad. I like D'Onta Foreman still. He probably would be cheaper than Dillon too.

Marlon said he's gonna smash (F) the dude in the pic. Lamar is saying "Marlon, there is no context to what you said and the fanbase is wondering if you're really gonna F that guy"

He's also a top notch returner. Could easily take over for Covey and open up a roster spot.

Then he blows his knee out on a senseless return like Jason Sehorn. That's the ticket.

Dillon was at 3.4 yards per attempt, 1.7 yards after contact. Nothing about him screams he is a good big back.

I’d add his yards per carry each consecutive year went down: 5.3 to 4.3 to 4.1 to 3.4.

YPC for a big back isn't really the best determining factor.   How many times did he convert 3rd/4th and short into a first down/touchdown?  That is what you need from a big back.  A 2 yard run on 3rd and 1 doesn't show much in the aggregate average. 

His success rate as defined by profootball reference shows: 

And here's the definition.  

 

I don't think it's an ideal category either.   But, by comparison, Gainwell was 39.3% last year.  That's horrific.   Saquan Barkley was 40%.   
 

 

And these are Christian McCaffery's numbers: 

 

 

In other words, Dillon seems to be more effective than McCaffrey over his career, but less effective this past season.    You can't bring in Dillon as the lead back by any means, which is what you'd be focused on for the ypc.   BUT, as the short yardage back, allowing more play action options, allowing them not to rely on their QB as the battering ram... yeah, sign me up if the price is reasonable.

That 1.7 yards after contact depends 100% on WHERE the contact happens and what the goal of the play is.   If its 3rd and 1, and he's hit right at the LOS, then 1.7 yards is a great run.  And it lowers the ypc average, but it extends the drive.    Big Backs aren't supposed to be the bell cow, they are supposed to be the tough yardage backs, and depending on how he was being used, where, and when, that ypc could be really nice.

 

As shown earlier, the Success Rate seems to be a better (yet still flawed) measure.  Mike Alstott was a career 45% runner by that metric.   Peyton Hillis for his first 4 years was over 50%: 63.2%, 53.8%, 51.5%, and 55.9%.   His last 3 years were 41.2%, 45.2%, and 38.5%.    Seems like that matches up fairly well with his effectiveness as a runner overall, as well.  

There's a difference between finding a big back and one that can win in short-yardage. Would be nice to have an RB who can consistently get 2 yards when you need it. We don't have that as most of our backs fall backwards on contact.

Dillon had over 850 carries on him at BC and for context Swift just hit 1000 carries this year from college and the NFL. Dillion is soon cooked and rather not spend money on him. 

Just draft Braelon Allen is the same exact player and cheaper.

Tbh he was not good this year cause they tried to expand his role cause Aaron jones missed a ton of time and dillion got more starts than he ever has had in his career. Carry wise he was about the same as in 2021 and 2022 but he also missed 2 games that he didn’t miss in 2022 and 2021. He was just not ineffective when they needed him to expand his role. I think it was his worst season of his career. So this year they tried to not make him strictly just a short yardage back partially due to the amount of injuries they dealt with at that position. I think he’s likely fine as backup rb with a specialized role to a no. 1. 

Really hope Eagles land Barkley in FA. Would go against the grain of what they do and he hasn't really lived up to his hype in NY and gotten injured a ton but he's played his career on one of the least talented offenses behind one of the worst offensive lines.  He could be our McCaffrey and his career could take the same turn that McCaffrey did when he left the Panthers for the 49ers.

Haven't I spent the last 2 seasons watching a tush push?

Hurts can get 1-2 yards on the Brotherly Push.  A power back for short yardage still of value?

A few things.

-Kelce has been proven to be imperative to the success of the Tush Push and if he retires, it's safe to assume the success of the play could go down.

-Players are getting free head shots in on Hurts. One of these days he's going to get injured and not just dinged up.

-The NFL is cracking down on the play. We saw a number of really bad penalties called on DIckerson being offsides when the players viewed were clearly Kelce.

-Eventually the NFL is going to outlaw this play if we like it or not. Might not be this year but it's going to happen.

-Relying on the tush push limited what the Eagles did on offense this year. BJ, even though he's gone, admitted that they would rather play for 3rd and short instead of playing to get a 1st down. 

Philly fans obsess and overvalue a big RB but when it comes down to it, it's nice to have RB with different skillsets to create mismatches against the defense. The Eagles have been using a bunch of sub 5-10", 200-2-15 RB on the roster and as of today, the only RB on the roster is Kenny Gainwell. They need to bring in multiple players at the RB position and hopefully one is a clear cut starter. The last thing I want is a hodgepodge of JAG RB fighting to be RB1.
