Our guys are workout warriors. Football is a game  of endurance. Stamina and physical levels. We’ve been built to have this advantage. Best Oline coach. Nobody invests in Oline like we do. Draft…FA…Trade…we have obsessed over Oline. But we not just got technical finesse Oline guys. Not slack athletes either. We have the biggest strongest workout elite best of the best. What moron builds a team with that and doesn’t utilize that advantage? You have the baddest and strongest….but you’ll go backwards all game eto th those guys? Dumb

Not even dogging our Oline pass blocking. Just saying why wouldn’t you wear out the opponent with our Moving Mountsins? What S, CB or LB has the same pep and aggressiveness right after they had to deal with a 6’8 Oline barreling at him? Or even after making a tackle?

Lots of success for the Lions and the 49ers.... we have 2 SBs....3 trips to the SB.... 8 playoff wins.  Made playoffs 7 of the last 8 years.  Combined not sure those 2 teams add up to us in any of those categories???

Niners had the Bronze dynasty. Real happy we’ve taken over. But I didn’t say anything about what you’re trying retort. I mentioned the guys that zagged when everybody else zigged. The league got slapped, faster, more specialized…more finesse and pass focused. These three teams instead are physical. Hit you in the mouth. Always worked in football…all my life. Heck I couldn’t even consider playing in the NFL because of monsters like our Oline.

Niners and Lions have had tons of success. Nobody said better than us. Sure neither got the job done to win the Lombardi. But my statement was there had success being physical. Which teams had more success than Lions, Niners and Eagles last several years?

Nobody freaked out....you were obnoxious about Gainwell not being the 3rd RB...when he was clearly going to be the #2 all along.   

You are overthinking the " specialists " part...but that's your thing.   

The players bring different skill sets...that's natural.  But we aren't using 10 string at each position with 10 different skill sets.  The top guys make the roster and you work with that.  

I’m exactly disagreeing. You did overreact …because it was Gainwell. Best players isn’t the only choices.

I’m exactly pointing out the need to have the most complete team. Ready for all the matchups.

I can’t be the only that noticed the times Saquan couldn’t punch it in. He did several times….but so many he got two or three carries inside the five and couldn’t finish. 

2 or 3 carries inside the 5??    So many times?   You sure about that?  Btw... at the 5....you get me 2 carries to bring it to the 1... I'm great with that.  2 sneaks left for a TD...works every time. I saw more of him getting it in position to score.  That's his job.  

But let's take a look at the actual numbers....which I know you don't have 10 minutes to check because you are busy watching film of college guys.   So I'll look into it when I have time. 

How many times Barkley started at the 5 or closer... had 2 consecutive carries.

I'll check 3 consecutive carries too 

I'll say the 2 carries scenario will be leas than 5 all season.  The 3 carries in a row...maybe once.

So yeah…my thoughts were….Shipley will surpass Gainwell. So should we dress Gainwell or consider a guy that brings a different complimentary skill set to the position room?

Agree...it fits the QB profile of taking care of the ball.. limits his passing attempts... limits the chances the defense can get us to turn it over... limits the pass rushing... not fun at all for the defense.  

You can have a bunch of penetrating DTs….but if you don’t have any can lineup and stop short yardage youlll have problems.

Was I overthinking it, really? Seems like we made exactly the move targeting exactly what I was saying with Dillon.

We don't have Gainwell.  We should dress Barkley,  Shipley....both guys we know will make the team...and whoever the 3rd guy is.

You can't really have a bunch though...only so many game day roster spots.  The best make the team.

You got the cheap option coming off of injury trying to expose himself to get a contract next year.

I'm exactly pointing out that the roster is limited...you can't have 8 guys with 8 specialities on the roster. 

It's exactly why Gainwell was the #2 last year.  And why he brought value playing with guys like Swift and Sanders who couldn't block any of us here on the board in pass protection. 

Versatility matters because roster size is limited.

A guy like Dillon..if healthy... brings good pass protection and receiving out of the backfield.  ..not simply a big guy for short yardage.  Not going to waste a roster spot for that...but whatever makes you feel smart.   

I don't mind at all having Dillon...and his size.  I love the short yardage RB.... but he isn't here just for that.  If that's all he brings....he won't make the team.

Well we got Dillion for that now. Howie saw a need and filled it, We also have that TE who is now a FULL TIME FB

Idk...I think the LB ...Van Summerlin or whatever his name is...he will be FB again.

Yes they pulled him as a TE, He is a full time FB 

 New mock with a different direction  1-32- Maxwell Hairston-CB-KY    2-64- Wyatt Millium-OT(G)- WV    3-96- Shemar Turner-DT-Texas  4-134-Tyler Baron-edge- Miami   5-161- Jay Higgins-LB-Iowa  5-164-Jaydon Blue-RB-Texas  5-165-Donte Thornton-WR-Tenn     5-168-Seth McLaughlin-IOL(OSU C but Howie loves making C's G's)  Getting Hairston would make our secondary a freakin nightmare LOL

He has to make the roster... that contract isn't one that locks him on the roster.   Let's hope he is healthy and can play.

He was a LB...not really a TE

Hairston at CB because Fangio already said he wants to leave DeJean as a S

IDK though after we got Adoree Jackson(1 year deal only). Going to be a very interesting draft
