Where the hell is Foreman?

Yeah I've never really liked the Ricci as a fullback thing, decent as a TE though

He is traditionally an H-Back. I actually like him in that role.  I haven't watched him extensively at the TE role. Mainly him coming out of the backfield or stacked on the line. 

 

What do you not like about him at FB?

We're paying CMC an incredible amount of money, and the other RBs are not good. I wouldn't take him out either.

They're paying Sam Darnold an incredible amount of money (this year).   He's currently riding the bench.   (my point is "his contract isn't the reason CMC is being overused")

Anyway, it's a good idea to play other RBs to, at the very least, give CMC a rest before they end up putting him on the IR....again.

EDIT : Just saw the report he has a quad injury.   well s--t.

I expect injury announcements for CMC weekly. The reason CMC is in there a lot is because coaching jobs are on the line.

So we have a difference of opinion. You want him to sit more to avoid injury, and I want to play him more and if he gets injured, so be it. Fair enough.

Foreman should see more snaps period. He is a powerful back who gets downhill. He has decent hands (way better than C.Hubbard) and he is decent in pass pro (was at least in Tenn.). 

I think CMC should be on the field most of the time but the team could be smarter on how he is used and make the most of Foreman's skills too. allow cmc to chip more before going out as a check down option on passing plays- Let foreman take more pass pro reps having to go up againt blitzing LBs. Give him some carries on early downs or short yardage behind Tremble coming across the formation in motion and acting as a lead blaocker (especially behind Icky). 

I also think that Bozeman at center would help open more holes in the middle for whoever is carrying the football (as long they don't fall down-ala Chubba)

Never seen a staff who has so much trouble using their players correctly.. it’s freakin baffling.

That's because there's never been a coaching staff as incompetent as this in NFL history. And, naturally, a Temple reject is the one who gave Rhule the game ball, because Rhule has extended -- and in many cases, created -- NFL careers for his Temple and Baylor losers.

    • I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.
    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
