This is a rare moment when the Huddle was quite on point about the glaring issues regarding our center position and how it would bite this team hard if something bad happened.

Although at this point it's largely irrelevant due to the complete lack of a defense and other injuries.

 

Just one of those shrugs moments

Except that one player looks like he might be a 10+ year starting/possibly Pro Bowl player and the other is the guy we drafted.

I'm fine with taking a RB high as a special RB is still a franchise boost. I also know you can't build Rome in a day. This will take years. In this instance, we are building from less than scratch and a decade plus starter at center over a guy that is currently hurt, best back in draft or not, really was a head scratcher. But if Corbett doesn't get hurt, he was playing well, and this is not as big a deal. Every team is a decimating injury away from being ass out at one position. 

Upcoming draft this year, its hog molly time!

Of the top 15 RB's in rushing yardage this season, 7 are 1st or 2nd round picks and 8 are 3rd to UDFA.

This is why most smart teams that don't have an immediate need at RB don't draft RB's in the 1st or 2nd round.

Guess what we didn't have an immedate need for? Especially considering our 5th leading rusher in the NFL and 4th round draft pick is still on his rookie deal.

Another fun stat is the top 4 leading rookie rushers are from the 4th round or lower.

I have harped on this since the days we signed that idiotic CMC contract, smart teams don't spend crazy money or draft capital on RB's.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
