I mean, healthy? I'd rather have him as part of the RB committee than Miles Sanders.  But paychecks dictate roster spots. 

ideally, we go Chubba with a little Miles to start off the year

transition to Chubba with a little Brooks

then Brooks with a little Chubba down the stretch

I thought he recently called himself the best RB in the NFL if not injured or something like that.   I like what we have at RB, but I imagine Brooks is going to be on IR for the first six games or so.

Sanders with a good OL is good.  Remember Philly?  They had a good OL and he was effective making moves on the second level.  he was not effective finding holes and improvising on the first level.

Seems like the new coach is all in on Sanders. Financially, I understand but from a football perspective oh wee wayne.

It will be interesting to see that group shake out. Methinks they are all on board the Brooks 2025 train.

Feel like Brooks and Sanders both have that finesse style, Chuba is the one that's gonna hit the hole head on as more of a power back/missile. Not really thinking about starting or not, probably more of a hot hand scenario between Chuba and whichever other guy is healthy/having a good day

Every player, even those under 30 years old, has a multitude of aches and pains that they have to work with every day. And honestly, the grind of training camp and another long season ahead of you for a lot less pay than you've been used to, and maybe retirement doesn't look so bad. 

I hope he does well out there and finds a lot of happiness. Thanks for coming by and sharing a cup of coffee with us man. Good luck to ya!

    • This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.
    • Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
    • When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
