Goodson, Sutton, & Jackson

I am trying to look at both the FB and RB situation beyond Double Trouble -- Fiammetta and this got me thinking...

Sutton played very well for us last year and even managed to step in as a FB when we needed help. Bottom line, he is a type of player we should have on the team. Goodson has had a decent camp but he hasn't shown too much on the field. I believe though he has a good deal of upside and is in a good position to make the team from the perspective of how much they have used him in camp. So, my question is are we gonna have 4 running backs? Because I find that a very unlikely scenario. Would it make sense to put Sutton as a FB on our final roster and move RaShawn Jackson (Who I think is a steal and is strong as crap) to the Practice Squad for his first year? Discuss

Haven't heard much about Fiammeta - I really hope he excels and makes one of these guys expendable. I think you can pretty much pencil in Sutton as a RB and I doubt they'll risk putting Goodson on the PS yet. Think Jackson and the dude from Richmond are put on the practice squad.

we had four tail backs last year. Williams, Steward, Goodson, and sutton.

we'll most likely have the same thing heading into this season

there is absolutely a reason to carry two fullbacks and four tailbacks.

I don't think you got what I was saying. On paper, it would be 3 RBs, 2 Fbs, and an FB on the PS. Yeah, four of them are Running Backs, but I'm coming from the perspective of simply filling our roster. So again, is Goodson, Jackson, or Sutton gone if you see one having to go?

I think goodson will be cut, he hasn't taken one snap yet due to injury and I don't think he is worth keeping on the squad if he can't even get on the field...Fiametta has been taking almost all of the first team snaps so he is in right now. I also like that kid vaughn...Sutton has also been getting a lot of reps with the second team but that is because of Stewart being out. It is going to be a difficult decision to say the least.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
