I don't disagree about Hubbard being a poor receiver last year - it was frustrating watching him drop ball after ball tossed right to his hands. I'm just saying that Foreman getting Jordan Howard-esque usage in the passing game year after year does not give a positive signal for his potential in the area, even if he doesn't drop the few that come his way. 

Time will tell, but at this point it seems a pretty limited signing.

Chubba is alright but yeah he had bricks for hands. To me that was only part of the issue. We had actually a decent run game in 2020 with Mike Davis. If we were going to draft an RB that should have been the type we were looking for to spell a back like McCaffrey. Instead we drafted one in similar style. That's one more knock for this staff. Though they seem to be at least recognizing some things like that now but that could be because other people are making decisions.

I thought Abdullah looked pretty good last year, even better than Hubbard all things considered, but having him, Hubbard, and CMC all on the team is completely redundant. Seems like unless Hubbard cures his dropsies,  dropping Hubbard for a more complete player like Abdullah, adding a heavier runner, and having CMC would be a better way to go. Who knows where this all shakes out though.

Definitely less of a Temple/Baylor type player 

You definitely are very incorrect with that statement. Temple ran a 22 personal set that ran the ball down people's throats. Rhule adapted the RPO when he went to Baylor because that is what Texas HS offenses look like and those were the kids there at Baylor. This is more of a Temple type of player than anything. Do you want to see an offense that Rhule wants.....go watch Tennessee. That's east coast football. Run the ball and be stout on defense with a game manager type qb..I mean that has won quite a few championships over the years. Patriots anyone

Guys always run pro days faster. Byrd was Bo Jackson at pro day. Funchess shaved .2 off his combine time at his pro day and as we know he’s not a 4.5 guy.

A 4.45 pro day is probably closer to a 4.65 at the combine. Not bad for a big back but not blazing.

My comment was that if he was a real 4.45 at the combine, there is no way he wouldn’t have run because that speed and size would have gotten him drafted earlier. Derrick Henry ran a 4.54 at the combine and that was impressive. Fournette was 4.51 at 240 and went 4th. Foreman was a 3rd rounder.

Cool

This signing has me believing we are going to get Watson and CMC will be part of the deal. Hubbard and Foreman could be a nice duo for us.

Either that or we have another taker for CMC,   Maybe another first and we package that with one more 1st rounder next year..

Thoughts?

They want more CMC in a more flexed role with 2 backs on the field and a goal line back since Cam isn't there.

 

And Chuba sucks.

3.6 yards per carry isn't great but considering we had no passing game and a porous offensive line.  I'd say that wasn't bad.  

I'd like to see him behind a competent offensive line.

      Canes vs Wild 9:30

      He has attempted 8 shootout goals in his NHL career and made 1. He is among our worst SO guys on the entire roster in terms of career stats.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By cranky · Posted

      Against Miami, the Panthers were behind by 17 in the 2nd quarter facing a 4th - 5. Young completed a 21 yard pass and they went on to score 7 on that drive. Then in the 4th, down by 4, they faced a 4th - 5 and again, he completed a 17 yard pass and they went onto score a TD for the win. He also accounted for 2 of the 3 TD's.  As I said, he got them in that mess and no doubt, Rico gets credit as well, but missing on either of those 4th down conversions hands the ball over and results in 1 or 2 less TD's giving them a loss. As you said though, that's just a small quibble. The real question is how does the FO see it?  I am guessing they see it as something to build on. I think most peope here see it as a total loss and fully expect the FO to see it that way as well. Time will tell.

      Goalie play sucks

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Kochetkov is just too streaky. TBD if Freddie is doing that too. Freddie is the more reliable goalie over his career. The Bussi kid looks like he could be a solid #2 eventually.  Just need to figure out the #1 guy. Same as almost every year. It's not talent, it's consistency and being able to step up in the playoffs.
