I'm not so sure I see the quickness from Reeves to be a scat back. When watching Reaves, first thing you notice is that hes a super patient runner. Reaves is a tweener, has power back qualities but lacks size, and like I said I don't think he's explosive enough to be a home run hitter type back. Barner's job to lose imo. My hope is that Barner hit the weight room this offseason and added 10 pounds or so.
I feel your optimism but I don't know if 10 pounds of muscle is enought to help Barner. He looked good in preseason but he really got blown up in his limited opportunities to play. Looked like a rag doll equivalent to RGIII running the ball.

Wasted pick.  Gaffney wouldn't have lasted two seconds had he played in the SEC.  In the NFL?  Please.  Gaffney was a system back for the Stanford Cardinals.  Just about all of the their runners succeed in that system, but they haven't done diddly in the NFL.

yep totally agree, he reminds me of Davis 

 

won't lie I initially was upset with this pick just due to position, but man did this guy have a beastly year last year. I like his athleticism and he will provide great insurance when Stew goes down

1:23 in this video is awesome. Gettleman said he picks up the blitz well and this proves it haha.

 

And listening to him talk at the very end makes me think he's perfect for us. What he says is exactly what we try to do.

 

Love this pick. He will be a stud.

If Barner plays great in camp and preseason, this guy is on the practice squad.

If you mean Gaffney to the PS I disagree. They're very different backs and Barner (who I liked as a 6th rounder) hasn't proven he can break a hand tackle or pass protect. Gaffney's no sure thing to contribute, but what 6th rounder is?

      Thank you so much for posting links to the players so I don’t have to copy and paste the name and look it up.

      All signs point to legit. We’ve been way better than our record the last few years it’s just we’ve had brutal injury luck. Also I’ve watched nearly every game this year and 3 things have stood out to me even when healthy from early in the year to now: 1. Early on Lee had some brutal rotations and situational coaching but he’s improved a ton there. We lost some close ones early we should’ve won. Sure most our recent games have been blowouts but in close games we’ve improved a ton there. 2. Defense. Overall team defense has improved so much, it’s not just hot shooting winning games. This D is absolutely a real trend and sustainable. LaMelo in particular has gone from flat out bad defensively to above average. We have so much length we always should’ve been good defensively but it took time for guys to buy in and really hone in on it which they have.   3. Pretty much all our young guys have taken strides forward. Moose’s development as a passer has been insane, Miller is putting it all together to be an elite 3 tier scorer able to hit 3s, mid range and finish at the rim. LaMelo still some poor shot selection but has cut the turnovers considerably. Kon has been a great shooter all year but has steadily improved in other aspects of the game too.      It has definitely been surprising how quickly it all came together out of nowhere but really none of it surprises me. We’ve been building towards this for years now.
