Up two….can we run out the clock and win? Do we have that RB option?

Yep

Seemed like we utilized motion the least of any team last season

It’s these crucial situations I question the committee. Rushing for so many yards this season means little.

OH boy do I disagree here LOL. I'll take a 300 yard rushing game every week

Nah.... be dumb not to use Swift on as many key plays ( other than short yardage) as possible.    Gainwell should see less 3rd and 6 and more 1st and 10.  

Really hard to argue Swift being on the field for as many 3rd downs as he can.

Another question is on 3rd and 2 situation. Will the D respect that we might run it?

DeVonta just seems to keep getting better. He’s really looking to be studly this season. Got the new guy Olimide…not some blockbuster player. But Watkins wasn’t great in the slot last season. So that consistent option should be a boost. Plus seeing us move Swift out if the backfield to mess with Ds. Should be a great tell for Hurts on D playcall.

So if you move Swift out of the backfield....and still have another RB back there... that's definitely a new element.

Or trying to salt the game away for victory….do we three and out with the opponent playing against the run?

Besides the RB's we have perfected the tush push,so much so they almost outlawed it

I think Sermon is the bottom here...it's obvious by the amount he is playing in preseason games vs the other guys.  

You know….Scott always isn’t appreciated. Have a feeling Scott gets dumped. Siri likes Sermon. Scott highest paid back I believe too.

If they play the run we beat them in the air. This team is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to cover. You need top rate defenders in EVERY SPOT and NO team has that

But Sanders showed he could catch rookie year.

RB's that can catch-Gains,Swfit,Scott,yet you miss Sanders passing game?

Why not...should be more so with Penny in that short yardage situation than Sanders.   Really not close.  

Idk what you saw with Sanders...I didn't see a guy that was " we need these tough or key yards, let's give him the ball"    he seemed more like a big run through a gaping hole on a random down.  

I don't think anyone " feared" him...our OL was and should be what is their concern on 3rd and 2.

Think he stays as a BU to Penny. That Kenneth whatever guy should be gone or on the PS

Zach is actually listed as the BU to Smith

Nah... he offers returns,  and hasn't been playing much....he is the highest paid guy, why take the dead cap hit there.   You can tell Sermon is getting snaps to showcase him for trade or if they want to keep all of them.

Penny will bash them a new one,the key for him is playing 17 games

I'm thinking we keep 5 RB's

yes

Where do we sacrifice for that?   Be curious to see .

Logically I would.I mean if we're going to make another run it would be tough to do losing 2 RB's down the stretch

Yeah that could be an issue. We could probably get away with 1 less WR. But really,you can count Swift as a RB/WR combo.I know Siri likes Sermon(for whatever reason he has)

Having 5 also means you can press one into kick return duty

Highest paid but yet not high paid. We got 5 RB's under what most pay for ONE LOL

That's why we got Penny LOL

Really just gotta see how it plays out

You want our 5 RB's or would you trade them all away for Sanders?

Better this year than last year for sure.  

Have my doubts. We were so excellent at this last season. Not sure you can improve on last years squad to salt the win away on the ground.
