LOL which team has "turned to finesse"? All teams have a nice basher RB that I know of,or are searching for one if they don't

No Mas tried to credit you with observing this for a long time. Only took a few posts later to prove otherwise.

So this depth chart is going to change after pre 1 either way

Agreed

Dotson we have signed for one more season. AJ stays for two more. If Dotson is the guyhe’ll need to be extended before all that. So the possible scenario I threw out there requires thinking ahead.

Why does AJ only stay for 2 more? Explain

That uses up a roster spot,so he needs to be worth that. BVS is good on ST's, but that is not enough to use up a spot. he needs to make additional plays if he stays

BVS underrated athlete 42.5 inch vert and a 4.4 speed coming out of college… also started his college career as a FB before switching to LB in his final two years.

Having a 6’2 230 pound guy who runs a 4.4 would definitely give us a bruiser RB option as well if we wanted to add those wrinkles

Pretty odd then you don’t recall me talking about that for years and years

Didn't Say anything about you ... do you need acknowlegdement on everything... just said GB has been talking about us doing the opposite of the league for a while... why is everythign about you or a contest?

But he wouldn't have. That's the point. We let him go to a team where he has a chance to PLAY. Very beneficial to The PLAYER and he knows it too I'm sure. In return we got a guy who can compete for a CB job. I see no real downside to making this trade.

Everyone loves the trade..... but Ham has to go naturally into Anti Howie mode... it's a reflex for him

OMG we gave up our 7th string DT... Rosie sucks... Siri sucks,.... maybe Hurts can get the new CB playing well.... my neighbor's lawn isn't growing well.. maybe Hurts can help with that too.

No, but why would Howie have anyhow? Nobody figured he would have, not because you "thought of it". It's not your invention. Stop trying "I called it". It's just smart business by Howie and kind of assumed the day we brought Dotson in. It's the 16,zero to do with "sucking up" or any other lame theory you come up with

There was no I called it..or any of that…it was simply put…never was a thought. Not sure what you’re even arguing against?

Answe the question posed, which teams are "finesse" teams? Can you answer a question without the deflection?

How about answering the question without the deflection? LIST WHICH teams are "finesse" at RB and highlight the post that "proves otherwise"

You’re missing the entire point…where to even begin to explain it to you?

IDK have they tried hm at TE? Slot? Edge? With that speed? Maybe he can't catch worth a crock IDK.

VanSumeren was named the Bay City Player of the Year as a senior at Garber High School after setting a state record with 85 receptions (1,259 yards, 13 TDs). Obviously this was high school but he can’t have terrible hands if he was setting a state record.

As for him playing other spots no clue but I’d image he only made the switch the FB because the team wants to utilize the position and it gives him a better chance at making the roster.

I read this new CB is pretty decent. Maybe good enough to be a BU for Q? Or maybe good enough that we don't need to shift DeJean outside? Howie does things for reasons(most of which Ham cannot grasp)

Sounds like the new CB should be in the mix to start outside with Adoree and Ringo…. He has starting experience and apparently played well in his snaps last year.

Worse case he should provide some solid depth at CB for us

That’s exactly what I’ve been telling you has been working so well…Zig…while most are zagging. Now you’re putting it together.

And you missed the point that we HAVE been "zigging" while others Zag. I already put it together long ago, you are just late to the game. You aren't telling me anything I didn't already know

Even specifically going into detail about being a physical team to punch team in the mouth the more the rest of the league has turned to finesse.

So once again, which teams "turned to finesse"? You should know

You said(about Dotson) it wasn't just about the 16, it was other things(like sucking up?). What other things? IMO it was about the 16, nothing else. It was never a question because of the 16 5th year option. What else could it be?

Just wondering why with those credentials he was converted over to LB or RB/FB. Just seems fairly odd to me. I mean drop this guy in the slot sometimes as a TE/huge WR along with Dotson? Just weird to me. 4.4 speed and hands(as you pointed out because I didn't check thank you for that) that he wouldn't be used in some type of receiver role rather than be pulled away for a FB or LB position. Just a SMH thing for me

I mean(and I'm no pro) IMO this guy just sings out as a blocking TE, the type we covet. I must be seriously wrong(would not be the first time lol)

Booker was going to play quite a bit for us in the rotation.

Apparently not if we were willing to trade him away must have felt he was expendable and liked the other depth players we have on the DL.

On top of getting a CB that should be in the competition to start opposite Q

More crickets

We have Byron Young former 3rd round pick we traded for last season, Ty Robinson who we just drafted and Gabe Hall who we signed as an UDFA last year.

Clearly must like what we have in these 3 as far as depth goes

Also wouldn’t put it past Howie to see few more trades and roster moves before the season even starts
