He was the one really bright spot for me tonight.  Holyfield did well for himself also, but I was really impressed with Scarlett.  I wasn't all that familiar with him before we drafted him, but having read up on him afterwards and seeing some of the scouting profiles and highlights of him, I said in other posts here that I saw some similarities with Marshawn Lynch.  Obviously, that would be a best-case scenario, but I was highly impressed with him tonight.  He seems to have great vision, quickness, elusiveness, great balance and strength on contact, and he always seems to find positive yards.  At worst, I think he is everything our staff hoped CAP would be when he was drafted, but he has so much more potential.

I do hope having a good relief running back this season will help preserve CMC a little longer so he can end up having a long career here without being run into the ground like Cam has been.  I am a big supporter of CMC being much tougher than people would like to make it out but lets be real, Cam Newton is as close to Superman as you can get and he has been beat to a pulp over the last few seasons.  I just do not want to see the same thing from our stud offensive player.  I feel like CMC is one of those players that HATES being on the sidelines ( he strikes me as a Luke kinda guy when it comes to work ethic on the field ).  With that said, I hope he is able to be okay with sharing the load a little and let this stud come in a pick up some of the yards ( even tough ones if needed )

 

Really hoping Scarlett pans out the rest of the pre-season and we have a nice 1-2 punch at running back.  Also, having them both on the field at the same time could end up being a freakin nightmare to defenses ( especially with Cam under center ).  I am salivating thinking of the possibilities.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
