I agree.  I think he's a better ball carrier than Sanders.  Decent vision and quickness for a 3rd guy.

I think Sanders played hurt last year. He was rehabbing his groin I believe before the season started. Regardless he has shown to be capable with a good OL like he had with the Eagles. If he is RB3 we might be ok there. Providing Brooks is contributing decent snaps this year.

I don't know.  I hope you're right.  In retrospect I think even my fat ass could have put up a couple hundred yards behind that Philly line.  They were absolute maulers in the run game.

That's why i'm not hyped on Brooks, seems like that same kinda finesse rb behind the texas line. I prefer punishers, wear the d-line down with punishment, not dancing around and finding a hole

I didn't pay too much attention to Brooks in college.  He wasn't a tackle breaker?

If he's skilled it won't matter what style he is IMO.  I never watched him play in college so I can't say.  Not really familiar with Texas as I only loosely follow college football.  I basically just watched all the Washington games last year lol.

Punishing backs reach retirement age around 27, so I'm not too upset if he can dance his way to thousands of yards.  As much as people hate him now, DeAngelo Williams was panned as a bad pick because of all the mileage in college.  But he had a very good, long productive career.

He can break some tackles but generally seems like he had wide open lanes to get momentum, I don't really see beast mode/Stewart level or anything

A lot of it looks effortless but that's a quick dude.  Everyone's quicker in the NFL so we'll see how it translates, but he is literally smoking everyone in those clips.

Thanks. It’s hard to knock him for it though. If there is a big hole you should take it. It will be interesting to see how he adapts to more tight spaces in the NFL.

yeah he's smooth but not much tape on adversity straight up punishing people

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
