I mean, in all honesty, it shouldn't change much.  Is he better than Rico? Sure.  Is it by a big enough margin to alter that much? Not really.  I like the way Rico runs.  He isn't as patient as Hubbard which I think leads to greater chances of big runs but also more negative runs

Well it appears nearly all of our offensive rookies will be getting substantial playing time.

McMillan, Etienne, Evans [edit] +Horn

Miami's defense is crap - 2nd worst in 3rd down conversion %, 26th in yards per game, no real threats.

Will be interested to see if anyone makes noise.

Or maybe Chop Robinson just destroys us lol.

What about Jimmy Horn? Shouldn't he be in the mix?

Not sure if Miami having a bad D really is going to matter though.  Cards, Patriots, and Jags all have worse pass defenses to date (but I do think Miami has secondary injuries).

Horn is going to come if for some telegraphed schemed up plays where everyone will know they are going to attempt to give him the ball

They said he was going to be active. 
 

The running back thing, we are going to miss Chuba pass blocking I think but maybe Etienne can show some moves. I believe he has some. 

Also I said this elsewhere but the downfield shots vs the 3rd and long handoffs rather than trusting the QB that was complained about here, was addressed in an Athletic article by Person. 
With Legette back I am expecting some Russel Wilson type downfield prayers to be tried this week.

Like playing Super Tecmo Bowl growing up and the entire D just gang tackles your ball carrier immediately because they correctly guessed your play call. LOL

Agree. Agree. Agree. Horn should get snaps based on being the only WR that can actually stretch the field and pressure safeties with speed.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
