Double Dip


UpstatePanther

Recommended Posts

So this may be a stupid question for some people and thats okay. i understand. But im still curious for thoughts...

was fooling with Fanspeak this morning and using the composite big board and user-voted needs, i had the unthinkable happen and watched McCaffrey slip to #40 after i had taken Leonard Fournette. What are the chances that we would take 2 running backs this draft?

yes i realize that the chances are slim to none that it would even work out that we could take Fournette AND McCaffrey. But what about McCaffery and Perine? or another combination that would solidify our stable for years to come? ya'll think Nippleshorts would pull the trigger on two RB's?

I could see it with Fournette & McCaffrey for sure.

Absolutely. If McCaffrey makes it to 40 I'd love to get him after getting Fournette in the first. Gettleman double or triple dips almost every year. I wouldn't be surprised to see it at RB this year. More realistically I'm thinking Fournette then TJ Logan in the mid to late rounds.

I can't see a double dip at RB in terms of #8 and #40. Just can't see that happening. Now, I could potentially see a double dip in terms of #8 and a later round pick. It seems pretty clear that CAP isn't part of our future plans and Fozzy only has a two year contract with only $500k guaranteed. There's no guaranteed money next season.

So, if we took Fournette at #8, I could definitely see competition being brought in for Fozzy in a later round. Maybe TJ Logan? And if we took McCaffrey at #8 or in a trade down scenario, I could definitely see a more power oriented RB being brought in to compete with CAP. Maybe Perine if we wanted to pull the trigger in the 3rd which is earlier than I would think we would make that move or maybe Elijah Hood if a later round which I think is probably more likely. Yeah, I'm UNC homering a little bit here, but I think both of those guys would fit the bill in theses situations both in terms of skill set and draft projection.

Getty has done it before and will do it again. If C-Mac is there at 40, I could easily see him pulling the trigger because it's all about value.

I just think that C-Mac is like the quintessential Patriot, so I'll be surprised if he gets past them, regardless if they have four RBs on their roster or not.

In the 0.000001% chance that McCaffrey slipped to 40, I think there would be a near certainty that it could happen.

In that case, if I was Gettleman, I'd have the slip with CM's name on it up there faster than they did with Star's.

We would take McC at 40 even with Fournette at 8 but I wouldn't really call it a double dip since we'd use McC more as a receiver than a runner in that situation. Consider him at slot receiver if we got him at 40 after Fournette.

I think OP wrote all of that just to slip nippleshorts into his post. Hahaha

Also, yes. I have been posting this idea for a week now. I think that if DG sees LF at 8 he takes him no questions asked. And if CMc is somehow sitting there at 40, or even late 20s early 30s, he makes a move and gets him. I think he would love that.

    • Also if it reads funny, I tried to type it as accurately as I could without changing anything, I wasn’t trying to be sloppy.
    • Hey, tbe  first pro game for Bryce vs the first for Cam, nothing needs to be said.    EdIt/PS each showed us exactly who they were, first time. 
    • I went back and watched the press conference from Monday again because I wasn’t really paying attention at the time. He’s telling us what’s going on, but we are just dismissing it as coach speak. Here it is in text.   Reporter 1: When you say with confidence, do you think Bryce is confident taking those deep shots, or are they being called? What is going on with that? Canales: Yeah it’s a mix of all those things. Reporter 2: What needs to happen for your deep passing game to open up a little bit? Canales: Chemistry, timing, it’s everybody. Protection-wise, was.. um, finding the right opportunities, coverage-wise, um.. and then it’s just you know, the timing and me to you factor- getting the guys down there and giving them opportunities to make the plays. Reporter 3: Is it fair to criticize the lack of vertical threat you guys had, like Xavier Legette had a post wide open but the ball got hit up, there are opportunity there but drops, play mishaps, etc. Are you pushing the ball downfield with your play calling or do you feel like there is a disconnect with the production? Canales: In general it’s a group effort, yes lets get some more opportunities, um, to have those plays come alive- I will call them more when we have more success with them and those things come alive for us, but we have to keep working together, we have to keeping taking those shots in practice to make sure we are comfortable with them and uh; certainly for Brad and I to look at the pass game, coverage, and what they are giving us, uh pretty simple. When they are playing single high and everyone is at the line of scrimmage, we have to make the most out of those opportunities when we have them. Um, so that we uh, are a balanced offense which um, does play off of the run game, which we have got going but now let’s get the pass game going so we can really attack with an offense that I visualize for us. Reporter 4: Calling and Bryce taking more shots back last season… why have you gotten away from it if it’s as simple as what you’ve said about kinda getting too reliant on the success of the run game? Canales: By numbers-wise we are about the same, I think it’s just a matter of chemistry, the full group getting comfortable with those things and then making it come alive. Reporter 5: Is Bryce comfortable taking those deep shots? Canales: We will have to just keep growing as a group and make sure that you, we are at the time on task, the trust factor, the me to you factor, the.. all these things you know, and grow. Reporter 6: What do you think will help the trust factor? When you say that do you mean between receivers and Bryce? Staff and Bryce? Or play calling and Bryce? Canales: all those things and you know, it happens in practice and uh, we’ve had these things come alive in practice and we got to make sure they make it to the game. Reporter 7: If you’re not seeing success in the vertical game, is there a way to alternate your approach to open up more YAC opportunities? Canales: That could be a strategy as well, throwing and catching on some of the short/intermediate stuff um, but I do know you want to stretch the field at times and we get these vertical shots called and we try to make sure we are attacking the right coverages and then from there it’s confidence and the me to you factor which happens in practice. So what I got out of that was he is calling it but Bryce isn’t throwing it. It sounds like Bryce is checking out of it for better coverage match ups and / or thinking he doesn’t have good chemistry with some of the receivers. Also how he totally skips Reporter 5’s question is damning as hell.
