Let's talk about Fozzy...

[top dawg]

Fozzy is a high character guy, but his skills come a dime a dozen.  He's a great back-up to spell the 1 and 2 backs.

[TheNewStandard]

to me he seems like an excellent change of pace behind stewart.

i'd like to have him back.

Your avatar's bod and face is mezmerizing.

I'm 99% sure we'll draft a running back. Stew's going to be gone soon, and Fozzy is also older for a RB.

Possibly in the later rounds. Gettleman has drafted a RB in the 6th round (Barner, Gaffney) the past 2 years.

[TheNewStandard]

Like another poster said, Fozzy is a good change of pace back. He provides solid depth, but will most likely always be a #2 or #3 back. I just don't see him ever being a full-time starter. With that being said, we will most definitely draft a runningback in this year's draft. We would be stupid not to, considering how deep the RB's are this year. If we can pick up an OT in the FA, then we might take a DE in the first, and since receivers are also deep this year, we could grab a RB in the 2nd ONLY if Gurley is still there. If not, then I wouldn't mind taking Tevin Coleman in the 3rd or Mike Davis. But Gurley is without a doubt the most NFL ready back. When he's back to 100%, watch out. I think it makes sense for us to take him, with Stew, Fozzy, and Reaves and maybe an UDFA RB on the depth chart, Gurley can take it slow and try and contribute later on in the season.

Only the NFL put 7+ in the box. Most +premiered collegiate running backs are going up against zone passi g defenses with open space to gain yards.

Finding rbs that are actual rbs are rare and coveted...not a dime a dozen

Overrated by several posters. He is what his depth says, a third string back.

Fozzy's only 25.

How is it possible to overrate someone with a touch to touchdown ratio like his?

He'll be 26 in 2 weeks. He won't be starting this year and likely not the year after, and typically RBs start to decline at 28. So he's not the option after Stew. I definitely want to keep him as our change of pace behind Stew, but he's not going to be our starter after Stew, IMO. Would be solid the next few years if Stew has injuries, but this year showed that we really don't have much depth at RB. Fozzy has been plagued by injuries like Stew has, D-Will is gone and was trash, Tolbert has kind of sucked and don't get me started on Reeves.

I've always thought Fozzy looks great. I dont think it quite does him justice to say hes not worth keeping though. He's good behind Stew. Lets keep him around instead of changing things.

Yeah good point. I don't really think anyone wants him to start per se anyways, just get lots of Sproles type touches. Until we can find someone better.

Fozzy is a good backup but i look for Dave Gettleman to draft another RB in the latter rds,as well as get at least one UDFA RB.

Not sure he was overrated. We were starting a 4th string caliber RB most of the year....

People simply wanted the depth chart redone

[ThPantherFan]

Stephen Davis? Umm....

 

Bad that Fred was taken out of life early.  Stephen Davis was a good back for what we needed at the time.  He was getting old.

Why draft a secondary rusher when we have Whitaker? Whitaker is solid and we paid Stewart for two or three more seasons to bs tgs feature back?

I'm among tgs group that thinks we can get a RB off the street if need be as long as he is in shape and runs north and south.

Stewart, Cam +whoever the heck you want to throw pig there is solid.

Heck, half our fan base is in emotional distress about our RB salary base...

If you can run the ball and hold onto it, you are an asset to the NFL.
