Sanders OUT

[Waldo]

Just IR him and June 1st designation at the end of the year.

Good luck to Chuba. For a RB2 nearing the end of his first contract, this is the kind of opportunity that can make or break his career.

I hope he can really show out and rack up some yardage for us. I'm not expecting much out of this game, but that would be a welcome bright spot for us.

And I really do feel he has shown himself as the better RB in our rotation.

prediction: our offense shows improvement this week because zavala and sanders are out but our defense gives up 5+ TD to dolphins

The defense will give up 7 TD and a FG by itself, plus 2-3 turnovers from fumbles, picks, muffed punts, whatever.

I want to believe we can win this one. Because it's exactly the kind of stupid thing we would do; manage to beat a genuine world-beater team, and get my hopes up a little just to it makes it more painful when we go back to sucking.

If we can establish the run, and they can't just send the house after Bryce every play, that might be just the random element that turns this into a trap game.

 

I want to believe it, but really it reminds me of a time back in '04 when I asked my boss if the Panthers had a chance against the Eagles, and he said, "One. The Eagles don't show up."

I agree he should have hit that hole, but those LBs were sitting on the play waiting to see which way he went. There were two that shifted to the outside when Miles committed and easily would have filled the hole if he went inside.

Probably still would have gotten more yardage even if the LBs stopped him. It just looks really bad on replay.

Not even gonna lie. He's so off my radar as a bust of a signing that when I saw the thread title I was like

Sadly enough, our big money starting RB being out probably gives us a bit of a bump in odds because our afterthought of a backup RB has been the better player.

Addition by subtraction. Sanders is straight cheeks.

My personal favorite aspect of this clip is the stutter step.  It’s high quality fail until you notice that and then it just steps the clip up to 10/10.  I consider this to be in the EPIC tier of fail gifs because of that stutter step.  If all Miles ever gives us is this extraordinary gif to post when failing is on topic then I salute him and the trade might have just been worth it!

I hope Chubba has a good showing and takes over as the RB1 for the remainder of the season
