Nah…think he’s got the right quality GM running the Commanders. So many more players and pieces in football. Pretty much sucks for me to say and admit any of this…

Robinson and Scandrick are both small in stature and a bit lighter like Sproles was(both under 200 pounds like Sproles). We got Sproles after he had experience, so as I said being "smallish" is an uphill battle to make THIS team. They would need to be very special and superior. They(one or the other) could be used on return duties,but we seem to like Avery in that role,so once again I don't see the smaller backs making this team. I would personally prefer MJ over either one on the PS

Key being team needs. That favors a short yardage RB that can block…to compliment the RB room. Kind of harsh on Saquan not being his strength in short yardage TD punching it in. Would prefer to give Saquan less blocking snaps to increase his durability/effectiveness…especially just want him as fresh as possible at the end. Take a little load off just feels wise.

So you see Robinson or Scandrick beating out MJ for a PS spot???

Simmons would be reunited with Fangio, each understands what the other offers. You could be correct though because if Fangio was pounding the table for Simmons, he would be here by now. My question is who will be ready week 1 AND do we have an adequate BU available for the first few weeks? You know the first 5 games are not pushovers and the head hunters will be out to hurt us. Losing either stating S with no BU would be problematic

Could see it both ways. Prefer Blankenship taking over the leadership…young guys working out. That’s the big picture plan…but…BUT if Simmons helps us win the next two SBs? That’s as long term thinking as we need. Not sure where Simmons speed is at. Blankenship isn’t a speedster. So how the S compliment each other is crucial. Two slower S is a mix for disaster. Going to be giving up those breakaway TDs because neither S has recovery to catch from behind as that last crucial line of defense.

Don't forget we have BVS

Too early to judge. Need to let things play out some first. Dillon still a wild card in my mind. Not 100 percent on he’s a full go even yet. I like Scandrick on returns…so how heavy does that weight things for him?

What's playing out(from what I read) is that MJ has turned a few heads. We like Avery for return duty, also from what I am reading. I said before we're going to have to cut some very quality rookies

He’s not a threat to run or catch. So having only him in the backfield would scream ‘he’s blocking..it’s a pass play.’ But yeah maybe the FB is key for Barkley to thrive short yardage. Can’t answer that.

I will be anxious to see how this plays out in pre season. We hung onto Nichols for quite awhile. I'm not certain we have that luxury at RB unless you plan on losing BVS. he will take a roster spot somewhere. Just a question of where if we keep him on

Seems to me Cooks looks good for us also. Dotson sticks. Maybe we carry 1 less WR and 1 more RB this year. I think ASmith hits the bricks. Maybe Wilson stays

Let all TC and PS play out for guys to earn whatever happens. I’m not totally sold on who’s best after our top three RBs. So I need to see which other RB shows the best…unproven…which guy EARNs whatever job

Not sure that is correct. He is listed as a FB which is a RB

Of course, just having a discussion

Feels likely we keep on some FB option. If you believe like I do that we are running the same O ..instead of each OC under Siri has been completely running their own separate O.

I don't see Patulllo changing what worked last year. He has a few new toys to play with, but just small things, maybe a few more pass plays for Hurts

Fair enough…can’t say we’ve seen enough of anything from him to positively know for sure much

It’s always been Siri’s O we’ve been running.

I guess he is good on ST's,but really you can't roster everyone because they play ST's. Right now Siri is high on everyone, until he isn't LOL. But that's what he has to do, keep them working. Some guys will play themselves out of jobs in pre

He worked hand in hand with Moore to create our O last season….been a part of the previous few seasons also…so he’s earned some ownership of all that.

LOL, no it's been the OC's O. Siri is a CEO HC not a hands on one. Even you said how the O got better once Siri gave up play calling

They dressed a FB last year…so we’ve been given proof they want and will

Then he takes another position off the roster. Who was the FB last year and when was he used?

Playcalling is different than who’s O scheme we’re running. Patullo knows Siri and will do what Siri desires. I agree Siri a better fit for CEO role without hands on…but don’t believe that’s what he’s been doing at all.

I disagree, you can't have 2 hands in the pot. I'm sure Siri approves of whatever new plays or shifts the OC comes up with, but the OC is the guy who's O it is. OC's are the ones who get poached
