I know they like BVS who would take the last "RB" spot. With MJ, of course" you could risk him on the PS, but I don't see him staying there long due to his upside potential which will draw teams needy of a RB 2 or 3 and there are plenty of those. So the cuts are going to be very interesting. Injuries could also decide a few roster spots(if we have any and I don't wish for any but it happens)Ham may have some input on this, but the reports on Shipley are that he is less than good on pass protection. If true that would bump Dillon up to RB2. MJ would need to demonstrate pas protection proficiency. That is hard for a rookie to do.

They show the plays that get attention, but none of how they perform overall. They should also have a lowlights vid,so us meager fans can see both sides of said coin
July 31, 20251 yr Author Ham is a big Shipley fan(apparently) yet he bashed Gains. They are both similar in how they were/will be used. I also found that 1 article I posted(first one) a little concerning, that Hurts peformance dropped off with Smitty out. Of course they could be forcing those plays to see 'what works" so hard to tell, but apparently it was enough to write about for that writer. Not going to panic in July(well almost August). our BU center may also be playing himself out of a job. Fun days ahead!
July 31, 20251 yr Author On another note,it appears Justin Simmons would like to play here. I would like to have him here, except for the cost factor. The positional injuries could mean early on we could use him. But if you pay him,you use him all year(lol- well DUH), So that would be a Howie/Fangio decision if he would be worth the cost. Simmons has already made it known he wants to play here
August 1, 20251 yr Author So this McLaurin thing-he would be expensive. Have him and AJ as the Y/X and drop smitty in the slot for the best 3 some since snap,crackle,pop. Smitty could pull some look alike JJ plays. Snapping out of the slot,crackling out is route and popping into the EZ. AJ,Smitty,McLuarin with Dotson backing and getting some partial game snaps in. There are your 4 solids. If Cooks looks good,,we can basically take 1 more of our choice.Avery would.be my guess because of his ST prowess.. I think my boy gets cut, He can find a job as WR3 somewhere else ,because we would have too much talent in that scenario. Now you run into the BVS issue. That roster spot is taken by him for an actual RB spot. MJ is young and will take time to develop. i personally love the kid,but there may be too few roster spots for him. On the PS for him and we could use one of those special tags as a minor deterrent for those wanting to snag him. He needs to play well and hope Dillon stumbles to have a shot

But Howie has a way of working what players want from a contract that other teams refuse to do for them(see AJ ,Barkely etc). McLaurin has been giving them every chance to do his contract and the wuss won't. Maybe he would like a ring. But you have to admit that triple tandem would be awesome for many years

August 1, 20251 yr Rosie isn’t going to pay McLauren the money he’s looking for. I’m believing he’s trying to bend them over. Because he can. Heck ….Aiyuck did to the Niners…who didn’t need him nearly as much.

Heck ….Aiyuck did to the Niners…who didn’t need him nearly as much.I never said he WOULD,but it would be interesting to add him and use Smitty as a JJ clone in the slot

August 1, 20251 yr Author 1 minute ago, cunninghamtheman said:McLauren isn’t even staying on the phone with a GM offering AJ money I suspect.He said he was "done", meaning done trying to work with the wuss

August 1, 20251 yr Author Just now, cunninghamtheman said:I was discussing and diving deep into his contract situation. When you declared McLauren is a top WR.You can pretty much "predict" any top player that wants to be paid, or has some certain issues thy want, so I hereby predict any future players could have contractual issues. I'm calling every one of them right now
August 1, 20251 yr Author Just now, cunninghamtheman said:Negotiating tacticsNah,he tried all those,he wants out now

I'm calling every one of them right nowI don’t think he’s as good as Smitty. He worked out his contract super slick behind the scenes. He got big money….but didn’t hold us over the coals.
