If we resign it needs to be a short term deal.  I like him and think you need that kind of back when you need to pound the rock.  Davis was not really that kind of back he was somewhere between Foreman and McCaffrey.  I don't care about being a threat to score every time he touches the ball.  We need a chain mover to mix in.

Give him a  reasonable offer that's it.

He's  Benefiting from the best run blocking we've had in years.

Bozeman is probably the best center we've had in 4 to 5 years in the run game.

Who is this good center in the run game that we had as recently as 5 years ago that you're thinking of?

Agree with reasonable offer but no more.

Agree with the best run blocking in a long time.

I'm fine with a back that can consistently get you a first down every time they touch the ball. Backs who are a threat to score every time they touch it are extremely rare and cost too much money. Barry Sanders was the definition of threat to score every time he touched it. It did not lead the Lions to playoff success.

You are correct saying we have a good run blocking line.  That's what makes any very good backs a threat to score anytime they get the ball.  In my opinion he's worth a good contract.  Not over the top contract like a lot of teams give.  He's a very good back and deserves a reasonable payday.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
