I think CMC is great and I love Chuba. 

But if the season is already over? I would want to limit how much damage they take going forward.  

If Rhule can he will smash them I into D’s playing the run 40 times a week….as we lose? Not a fan of that.  Why not keep Royce and grind him some.  

we haven’t even gotten to the hard part yet lol.  

Abdullah did more in his short time here to take over as the 3rd back in the line up plus he doubles as a returner.

Royce was supposed to be a good pass blocker but he never lived up to that.

You keep talking about passing protection, 3rd down RB, etc …like we will want to attempt that.  That’s glass breaking emergency play at this point.  

I’m talking to finish out a long season attempting to run all game vs fronts playing it.   Some good ones too. Our guys are going to get hammered.  I’m talking about preserving and limiting hits on guys we actually value after this year.  

season is over.

I didn't say 3rd down back, I said the 3rd back. We don't need 4 RBs on the roster even with the amount of running we are thinking of doing.

Season is over according to you and other fans but not the staff.

I mean the Lions season isn’t over either. 

But yeah, Freeman actually has the 2nd best ypc behind CMC.  Almost a tie. 3.8 vs 3.7.    He is by far the most built RB for punishment and that is what our game plan is going to be.  To smash the RBs into DLs with a D playing it.  

do we need him? Again, no.  We can run CMC over and over between the tackles.  Hubbard too.   In a wasted season, I just think you should limit the pounding your future actually takes.  Especially the pointless pounding that some games present.

Too much to be pissed about than a 4th string RB getting cut cause the team needs the spot. I liked freeman and they claimed him for free, not too much to get upset about. 

Abdullah as others have said offers more ST value and ran HARD in his first game, much more than freeman did. He also is a better clone of CMC than freeman. Just the numbers deal and nothing to get up in arms about. Saving my anger for Rhule QBs decisions, OL, ST, and Gringer cringer

how are the last two years of draft picks looking?

2020 is all on brown, Chinn and YGM. Roy has been solid backup so far as well. 

2021 all over the map and still too early.

FYI if you get 2 starters and one ST ace/top backup thats a good draft. I think both can at least have that result, but the thing is this team was devoid of talent starting in 2020....so..

    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others. 
    • I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
