If that’s the case then we wasted a pick on Etienne. Personally, I’d like 700, 600, and 400 yards from three guys because everyone will be fresh in February. 

How so? Dowdle is on a one year deal. If we get great production cheaply while Etienne gets to learn and develop so he steps in seamlessly next year, I'd say that's a win for everyone.

We are going back to the future and bringing back 50s style football!

Well, if that's the case, and if they absolutely have to give the duo a nickname, let's hope it isn't something like "Stumble and Fumble" then.

I don't think so. we signed Dowdle to a 1 year contract and know we are not going to pay 2 RBs big contracts. Brooks could end up great or he could do nothing. Etienne was a 2026 and beyond move, we have Chuba, Etienne, and either Brooks or another cheap RB.

If Brooks ends up not playing another down for us, does he replace the Eric Shelton?

Yeah, "Thunder and Lightning" were the duo for the Titans. White and Johnson maybe? 

yeah, lendale white and chris johnson (4.24). they had that name cornered before we williams and stewart could take it. so they went with double trouble. i think what the titans had going on with those two fit thunder and lightning better...that year anyways.

then lendale stopped drinking tequila, lost weight, and fizzled out.

Five touchdowns, 40 points and 35 points against teams fighting for a playoff bid is the floor? So you’re thinking Tom Brady levels of efficiency? 
 

Reasonable…

If Bryce goes below 4 TDs passing/game he has failed. No exceptions…

Miles is no longer on the team so that one definitely is out.

FWIW I dont think any QB has ever averaged 4 TD passes per game for an entire season.  Not saying Bryce doesn't have to prove a lot this year but we have to have human level expectations.

It works great. It just isn't what DC wants to do and what he usually doesn't call.

What sport are you watching?

Manning's record season of 55 tds in 2013 was less than 3.5 tds a game.

I’m expecting no less than 6 per game with a rushing TD every other game

I think the first time I heard that was Bettis and Brooks at ND. Then, pretty sure White and Reggie Bush used it at USC. Of course that's college not pros.
