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.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.

      In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
