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.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
