Ron probably has the best pair of edge rushers in the NFL and his D is still straight trash. The ceiling for his longevity in Washington is probably their bye week.

The most overrated coach of this decade.

All this league wide trade build-up all these player apparently available for trade you know damn well the deadline is gonna come and go and very few trades will actually go down. 

Its up to Fitter to trade Burns since he refused to give him the extension he so deserved! And if he doesn't, he's walk for nothing. What a clown this guy is.

Trade Burns for Jamo NOW!!!!

Watch us do nothing.  The worst team in the League and apparently completely satisfied with it.  I mean, we keep signing dudes off the street, so there's that--roster building at it's finest.

2. The Eagles want to make another move even after adding safety and five-time Titans captain Kevin Byard. I expect Howie Roseman to be busy Monday morning. He’s poking around at linebacker.

3. The Baltimore Ravens are looking to add a running back, the Cleveland Browns are looking to add a receiver and the Buffalo Bills are scanning the cornerback market. The Washington Commanders are listening to offers on Chase Young and Montez Sweat. They want a second-rounder but have only received offers in the third-round range.

And SF is working the phones for a pass rusher and cornerback.  Jaylon Johnson CB CHI or Montez Sweat in WAS could be targets.  Think guys like those two sound like ones that could be on the move.  Not much expected on the big name front but if WAS loses today, Young could finally be out of there.

Jay Glazer was on Fox earlier and he didn't mention anything about Burns.

 

Safe to assume he's probably staying.

Prediction: we trade a late pick for a big RB. Cheap way for a big improvement. Right now this is a big deal on short yardage plays not having a single QB or RB that can move a pile.

Crazy, I thought I was the only one seeing this.  As much of a train wreck this offense is, the RB group as a whole is largely overlooked.  Sanders is getting his fair share of flack, but leaning on Hubbard as your bell cow is frightening as heck.

Maybe we could trade for that Donte Foreman dude. I hear he can move a pile and he might even pair well with Chuba.

They are getting group tackled 5 yards behind the LOS.  The OL is a much bigger issue than RBs.  Give Chuba an actual hole and he will be more than capable the be the lead back this year.

I'm going to have to disagree.  He lacks vision.  There's times where he misses a lane and runs right up the backside of a linemen.  I give him credit, he's better than he used to be, but he's still not the guy you want as your RB1.

I don't want him as the RB of our future or anything but I think he is capable to hold down the position with Blackshear this year while we are working on developing our offense.  We could honestly have an undrafted rookie next year look better than our whole group.  On a side note maybe Cohen can get some playing time in the next couple games.

I’m ok with Chubba as part of a tandem. But the problem we have is 3rd and 1, 4th and 1, or anything at the goal line, we don’t have someone to get that yard. We had the same problem with CMC. We need a big RB.

We need some snaps under center. Our OL isn’t looking good run blocking out of shotgun. Some under center I formation snaps with a lead blocker could help this OL run block. Plus you can ran a PA bootleg with Young to set up some long shots as well.
