Drake Maye did…. That one hurts. At least we didn’t pass on him in the draft.

Either way we shouldn’t extend him, but yeah 100% if he doesn’t even want to be here.

Henry would be an outlier and a future HoF RB. Using him as a standard should be malpractice. They also don’t have another expensive RB to pair with him like we would.

They aren’t doing a 3rd for a RB rental. A 4th is great value this point in the season.

You want them to sign a 28 year old RB to pair with the 27 year old one we just signed? Remember people wanted Foreman paid with us and he disappeared from the league a year later. Don’t sign older RBs, especially in a contract year. We probably shouldn’t have signed Chuba either as we are already looking at the next RB to sign.

I don’t think his production is sustainable with a banged up OL and better defenses on the horizon. Like I said his value will never be higher. So I’m taking that into consideration along with the drop off in value from Rico vs a healthy Chuba/ETN.

No one is giving a 3rd for a RB rental for half a season. So your other option is letting him walk for nothing next year.

Getting value for a RB that was always a one year rental is smart. He turns 28 before next year and is in a contract year. It’s not like we have no depth behind him. Chuba was a bogus holding call from XL away from having a solid game and we need to see what we have in ETN. Our OL is made for run blocking and Rico feasted on some terrible defenses. He played great and his value will never be higher. Selling high is not short sighted IMO. Especially on a RB who won’t be here next year.

We probably won’t get any comps regardless as we have a lot of needs and a good bit of cap space.

If I was told we could sign Rico on a cheap 1 year deal, use him up while Chuba was hurt and grab some wins with him and then flip him for a pick I’d be thrilled. We don’t need to be shortsighted like we have in the past.

It’s not tanking. The Pats are over here getting return on players and they have one of the best records. To me it’s good roster management with some exceptions. We can wait until after the GB game though. Rico’s value will never be higher than it is now. We can roll with Chuba and ETN IMO.

We aren’t a playoff team and he walks for nothing after this year. Any player that’s in his last year and we don’t plan on extending should be worth looking at for picks.

4th round pick would be a nice return

I’ll give you credit. You saw this Dalton fall off from a mile away and were banging the drums for an upgrade in the offseason.

Nah they are just trying to protect him. You can't believe the staff right?

With Wallace playing better in his new role I’d consider Caleb Downs or another edge to pair with Scourton.

This sums it up well. I'm glad I'm not going crazy over here thinking this same thing. Our QB poo the bed against a good team and our whole team got deflated.

Abandoned the run on the first 2 series but had more rushing attempts than passing in a blowout? That doesn’t make sense. He 100% got out coached regardless and should have used Rico more. However Dalton’s performance cost us this game more than anything.

We had more runs than passes in a blowout. The goal was clear the performance was a disaster. 38 year old vet played like an undrafted rookie.

5 yards a carry is good but it still doesn't mean you run it every time. Rico had a couple long runs which brings up the average, over over 20 yards on at least 1 I believe. Watching the first half, we typically threw it when it was 3rd and long due to the first couple runs getting stopped. I mean the fact it was 40-9 and we still ran it more than we passed shows me our goal was to run it on them, we just got in too much of a hole.

Yeah he put us in too big of a hole in which we had to pass more. 3rd and long with a slow roll out and he tried to tuck in and run with a fumble in the redzone. 3rd and long with an INT on our side of the field. Then we get to like the 10ish yard line with less that 30 second and no timeouts (even Greg said we have to try to quick throws here), what does Dalton do? Take a sack allowing us to barely rush a FG out (which missed due to being rushed). You absolutely can't take a sack there. Throw in getting sacked 6 additional times with 2 additional turnovers. He also missed TMac on a TD where Shaq was trying to cover him and missed an open JHJ on a big gain. Box Score watching won't tell the story yet people are going to try to do it anyway. Now it's pretty clear he isn't the upgrade that some were claiming he is, but they can spin it differently I'm sure.

I think he was trying to mimic the Lions with Montgomery and Gibbs. They are just more of the exception to the rule and Brooks was too much of a gamble to be a Gibbs type player. The Lions also didn’t sign Montgomery and draft Gibbs until their offense was nearly set. It was more of a luxury take the offense to the next level type of deal.

Our offense just needs work. That’s a late round rookie running that route. Looks like he drifted on it a bit too.

It was a slow long exaggerated one to the mascots giant head lol. He looked kind of pissed but definitely threw a fake punch then it looked like the mascot stepped on his hat (on accident) and that annoyed him further.

He should go to Southern Cal and let Riley work his magic. He helped Hurts a lot when he went to Oklahoma.
