Bring in a RB....

Gosh, it sure would have been nice if we kept Foreman  and had him to take on the load since he wasn't expensive at all judging by what the Bears signed him for. I will probably bitch about not resigning Foreman the entire season as he belonged with us. He had all the characteristics of a Panthers redemption story cast away by another team to find success here.

Sounds like he was the reason he didn't come back. 

 

I'm not against any roster improvements but not sure why it's a notable need at this point.

Something wrong with having them both at their prices they settled on? We have pretty much nothing outside of Sanders.

I don't believe that both would have signed here for a combined $4.555M knowing that they'd be splitting carries. That does nothing for their value besides tank it.

Then there's the fact that Miles Sanders fits Reich's predominantly zone run system that likes to stress the edges. If it was going to be focused on running power then I'd take Foreman all day over Sanders at $2M. Heck, I'd still take Foreman for $2M in a predominantly zone scheme but with Sanders' ability as a receiver out of the backfield (which Bryce depended on with Gibbs back in Bama) and being better at stressing the edge I can't be mad at the current RB room.

You are probably right in that they both would not have wanted to sign here and split carries. In a perfect world it would be nice but I see where you are coming from in that it tanks their own unique values for the future.

Now if Leonard Fournette wants to sign for $2M to just be the power back...... 👀👀👀

But then that means cutting depth in a position of need like OL, DB, DL, or EDGE 😧

I would damn sure take him! What about just not signing another WR since Byrd is out and signing Fournette?

They already picked up a camp body CB since Mabin and one of the other CBs are hurt.

I think that they roll with Hubbard/Blackshear/Brown and if there's concerns with Chuba then they might start kicking tires.

Well damn. I know we have some injury concerns with CB always but a part of me wishes we did take a look at Fournette just to see. Who knows, maybe one of the guys we already have is a solid back waiting to show it or at least I hope.

    • Yep - honestly though, I thought his coverage was as good as you could possibly do on a man coverage crossing route with Dak having all day to throw. Dak made a perfect throw and if it wasn't in front of Pickens, it could have easily been picked off. Seemed like we ran more man than I have seen our defense run so far this year. Defense also did a great job of playing their gap/zone responsibilities (even if Dak did pick apart our zone a good chunk of the game) - that screen play on the last drive could easily have gone for a touchdown if Moehrig didn't play his zone and make a great tackle. Biggest complaint about Evero was not blitzing a few more times (especially when Dallas was in the red zone). The few times we did it, Dak didn't look comfortable.
    • There was some pretty egregious missed calls vs the Chiefs in the Lions game, especially Kelce. The completion where he clearly used the ground to catch the ball. The hold in front of the ref as Pacheco ran by where the defender was trying to turn around and couldnt because Kelce had him by the jersey. Mahomes openly taunting after scoring a TD. 0 penalties after double digit the week before. Cmon. 
    • People get trade happy and look at resources as barter items. They fail to see them as resources to be used to our benefit rather than someone else's. Right now, Chuba and Rico are massive benefits to us and a strong rushing attack so greatly benefits any passer, much less a young one like Bryce still is.  And the better our running game, the more our offense can eat up the clock, the less time our defense is on the field. And that is priceless, too. Don't mess with the running game. Don't mess with the receivers. Maybe look at our O-line and think we may have hit on something good during these injuries. Look at our D-line and seem some strength evolving there. Our secondary has its good spots and some that are still developing. Our linebacking corps did well this last outing. Our special teams are on a major upswing as of this past week. Heck, even our QB is showing us a little something right now that we can build on. Perhaps putting out a yard sale sign right now might be less advantageous than looking at the team and saying, "You are all part of something good that is happening. We want to see that continue to grow."
