Let's talk about Fozzy...

[MHS831]

Stout, fast and takes care of the ball. He's a north south runner with great balance and is aggressive on kickoff returns.

He was solid this season and I really like his cuts and the way he gets extra yards when he gets hit early.

There is no reason why he can't be our designated backup to Stewart. I'm a big fan and think he could be a factor when Stewart is on the sideline.

We don't need to draft another RB outside of UDFA with fozzy on the roster. I'm a big fan and think he is ready for Williams carries of DLo is a June 1st cut.

 

I am not contradicting you, but the only thing I would need to go back and review before making a statement like this is his blocking.  We don't think about it that much, but it is very important, especially here. 

 

If that checks out, I am totally on board.  Any insights to that part of his game (I can't remember a thing) are appreciated.

I like saying Wocka Wocka Wocka!

 

Who doesn't?  Fun as hell.  We need a Fozzy sound bite.

Sometimes it's easy to forget how much added value there is to having been on the roster and knowing the system. And for how well he played, that gives Fozzy a big leg up over any replacement not named McCoy or Peterson. Just sayin'.

ERFA 2 years at around 580k per

v/s say a 6th rounder 2.2 million

 

I like Fozzy and think we will tender him makes since on cap and he knows system. grab another rb in udfa  

[Mol3m4n]

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

I'm not saying that he's bad, but for the posters clamoring for him to start, don't get ahead of yourselves.

YAC. Stewart does it. Fozzy does it.

Fred Lane almost never went down on first contact.

Fozzy is nice but easily upgradeable. Even Darrin Reaves could possibly beat him out in training camp.

RBs are not a big priority in drafts anymore. I would imagen we just plug and play with FAs. Grab some UDFAs after the draft.

Likely can find cheaper in better RBs in the draft though....

You can find good RBs in mid to late round nowadays....much harder to find quality late at other spots

[brandon_87]

I'm a huge Fozzy supporter, he played hard for us, so used to seeing mediocre at the rb spot for us, it was nice. Him and Stew are a perfect 1-2

Fozzy is nice but easily upgradeable. Even Darrin Reaves could possibly beat him out in training camp.

Reaves?? Couldn't disagree more.

[MHS831]

I said this in 2010 when Hurney thought we had AP and a young Barry Sanders in the backfield.

 

I would never sign a RB to a second contract.  Rarely do you get your money's worth.

 

They start declining (I have presented charts that illustrate this) between ages 26 and 27. 

 

Invest in the OL and the RBs get better.

 

That is how I would do it. 

[Boxhead85]

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.

 

Fozzy is 25 and doesn't have much tread on him.

[rmoneyg35]

Cheap, underrated player. Doesn't have a lot of miles which is what we need considering we have older running backs. If Stewart can stay healthy and Williams isn't here then we could have a nice duo of strength and speed.

[micnificent28]

Not sure if i want him as a full load dlow/stew guy but he's a great 3. Def would be looking to draft one in such a strong class.
