Some potential waiver pickups:

Patrick Taylor, Lew Nichols, and Tyler Goodson are all battling behind Jones and Dillon in GB. Not household names but could be viable. They’ve shown well.

Josh Kelly could be on the bubble in LAC.

My only bitterness from the draft is we didn’t get Tyjai Spears. He’s looking really good. Just like when he led Tulane to beat Caleb/USC rgh

Josh Kelley is a name that I haven't heard since TB trolls started posting in the main forum. 😮

I think he's on his way out in LA. They spent a 4th in the recent draft (which they spent on Kelley when he was drafted) on Isaiah Spiller. Will be interesting to see what Kelley is able to put on tape backing up Ekeler.

The Dolphins are going to be cutting a solid RB - their RB room is Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson Jr., De’Von Achane, Myles Gaskin, and Slavon Ahmed.

Same with the Jets (assuming Breece Hall is ready to go week 1) - their RB room is Dalvin Cook, Breece Hall, Michael Carter, Israel Abanikanda, and Zonovan Knight.

I like Ahmad. He has good hands but he's not a bruiser. It would be interesting to see where he ends up.

Spears looks great but I’d be surprised if he makes it through the season healthy. He has a pretty bad injury history plus once of his knees is missing an ACL…

Didn’t know all of that about Spears and now I feel bad for the kid cause I’m not exactly sure he went to the right team. He’ll still be logging miles on those legs during practice but he won’t get a heavy workload with Derrick Henry being in front of him. Personally, if I was him, I’d have wanted to go to a team where I can be the lead guy for maybe two or three seasons before my knee gives out.

On the other hand, maybe the Titans feel like they can prolong Spears’ career a bit by just using him as a change of pace back.

I will say he’s looked very impressive in preseason.

Slightly annoyed Fitterer and co didn't address the position in last draft. As a philosophy I like taking chances on later round running backs every other draft. Chubba has never really impressed me. Yeah he showed a lil something but nothing that would have stopped me from drafting another guy. I like Blackshear I'm pulling for him. That said I don't remember exactly who was available for that pick we used on DJ Johnson ( who I hope ends up decent) but if we were already thinking bout adding a vet across from Burns seems a wasted or at least long term pick. I know management has some faith in a Chubba, Miles, Blackshear and Brown backfield but I don't. Kinda like the corner situation I like the guys but as far as a draft strategy I like my corners, RB's and offensive linemen as overachievers weighted against they draft status.

So... your solution to our RB injury concerns is to sign someone who has only been able to play in 42 of a possible 82 games in his career due to injury issues?

I'd like to see us go and get Hunt

Depth purposes only.  
 

Hunt is a great RB, but a terrible human being.  I don’t want him messing with our culture.

I think teams should steadily add RB talent in the draft in rounds 4 and after.  Easy to find good young talent in this era in late rounds.   All you have to do is resist the urge to pay them when the time comes. 

4 rookie RBs rushed for over 800 yards last year.  3 of those were found in rounds 4-7.

I’d take Carter. Dude can play. Very similar game set to  MS.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
