Really need to identify what any player can add to the team. If it’s ST and just be a few plays every other game at FB? That’s value. Gottta build a complete team. Having three RBs that are all similar doesn’t fill out team needs for every matchup. Having all the same type LB or S the same. Need specialists and guys that bring something else to the table. Well we got a bunch of both in to sort through. Out of 6,7,8 TE's we will end up with 3. Same with RG. Howie is a "draft and replace" guy, so if you wan to know Howies first pick decide who needs replaced the most(which to me would be DT,edge,maybe CB) yet the most guys we brought in were OT's. Fangio wants to keep DeJean at S, so there is a little cue we could be looking at a CB. I DO like the Cal kid they brought in, IMO he would be a steal in 4. Not a starter now but maybe next year he could be.

Have that short yardage physical back as the third RB. You both just couldn’t get past the thinking of just third best at the position should make the team. That really isn’t what’s needed. Especially the way the game has evolved. Need so many specialists. That fourth S needs to be good at deep coverage. Or zone ….or whatever you feel the starters weakness maybe is. The lesser overall player can be the better option. Gains was used in the PASSING game as a situational RB/scat back. Do we have that guy now? That's why we are looking at Jaydon Blue. We don't need 3 RB's who can only run gaps LOL
April 4, 20251 yr But Siri wasn’t just trying to glorify Hurts with TDs. They tried several times to hand off to Saquan. If he wasn’t busting it to the corner….he really wasn’t scoring. We HAD to give Hurts the ball to score. Sanders, Swift, Saquan with Gainwell the other option this whole time. None of these guys were goaline scoring threats. They actually all had that as a weakness. You always scream it’s all Oline. But same Oline. The starters all three could take it to the house from deep.
April 4, 20251 yr Author 4 minutes ago, cunninghamtheman said: Last season at RB these were my thoughts. Needed that complimentary RB more than just third best overall. Many times back in the day that third guy was a scat back pass catcher. But now starting RBs have to catch. Saquan struggles powering through short yardage. FL you got so spoiled. You just kept demanding anybody bit Hirts get the TD stat. I "demand" nothing, but it's nice if Hurts doesn't HOG the ball all the time. Like Bark said, other guys need to eat. if they get no stats they go away
April 4, 20251 yr Smitty is better than any finesse tiny WR has been in the Redzone. But nothing you’d label a big redzone weapon.

The starters all three could take it to the house from deep. 3 of those 4 are ot built for GL carries. Bark can do it, Dillon can do it. Can't just run Tush Pushes all day. Yes they work but you aren't letting other guys eat and without stats they get CUT

April 4, 20251 yr Gainwell ran hard. But he wasn’t a power back. He wasn’t a Redzone receiving weapon either.

Hard to know, no plays were called for many others Hurts just ball hogged. it's fine,I will take the score but let's not pretend he gave others chances
April 4, 20251 yr Sorry…but they really tried to reward Saquan a few times after he got us down there. But he couldn’t really do it. I remember several different games even with back to back Barkley goaline carries. He failed on. We weren’t scoring TDs without Hurts doing it.

April 4, 20251 yr Just now, cunninghamtheman said: Top three redzone O scoring TDS since 2021. RBs weren’t good goaline backs. TE wasn’t a redzone threat. One main WR was slight. So he wasn’t out physical long anybody or jump balling.
