Someone correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Chuba far superior with blitz pickup compared to Rico? Maybe this was DC’s rationale? 

maybe. in rico's two starts they didn't really have to worry about picking up the blitz because of who the opponents were. 

Chuba looked like he whiff'd on a blitz pickup yesterday but that was actually just a really good stunt from the jets and he was blocking where Bryce told him to. Defense gets paid too.

Well Chuba is interesting because he's kind of just a jack of all trades.  He's not really a power back.  He's not really a speed back.  He's not really a receiving back.  He sort of does it all at an acceptable level.

 

That's a good analysis. He's not a RB that you can really build an offense around. But, if he was starting behind a solid O-line,  and on a contending team,  he'd be a perennial 1,000 yard back during his prime with 16-18 carries per game.

Yeah I feel like he's more limited in a committee style system because of this.

If you think about it, the tandems are supposed to cover each other's weaknesses.  You get two different kinds of specialist with opposing weaknesses, and they cover each other.  You get a guy who's a jack of all trades, master of none.  He's just kind of an underwhelming rotational guy (based on contract) once you get some other talent at RB rotating in.

      Best and Worst PFF Grades for Jets Game

      Player Defensive Snaps Special Teams Snaps Nick Scott 61 (100%) 8 (35%) Mike Jackson 61 (100%) 3 (13%) Jaycee Horn 61 (100%)   Tre'von Moehrig 61 (100%)   Trevin Wallace 61 (100%)   Chau Smith-Wade 45 (74%) 7 (30%) Christian Rozeboom 45 (74%) 6 (26%) DJ Wonnum 43 (70%)   Derrick Brown 41 (67%) 3 (13%) Nic Scourton 40 (66%) 3 (13%) Tershawn Wharton 35 (57%) 3 (13%) A'Shawn Robinson 31 (51%) 3 (13%) Lathan Ransom 20 (33%) 14 (61%) Princely Umanmielen 20 (33%) 2 (9%) Bobby Brown III 15 (25%) 3 (13%) LaBryan Ray 13 (21%)   Boogie Basham 10 (16%) 2 (9%) Thomas Incoom 8 (13%) 20 (87%) Tershawn Wharton came back after missing two games with a toe injury and played over half the snaps (57 percent), more than any lineman other than Derrick Brown (67 percent). Princely Umanmielen came back from getting treated for a back injury, but still played a third of the snaps (20). That's toughness. While he was out, they used both Boogie Basham (10) and Thomas Incoom (eight), at times having the practice squader and the special teamer on the field together. That's trust. Lathan Ransom played a bigger role this week, also playing a third of the snaps. His usage will likely vary week to week depending on matchups. Player Special Teams Snaps Claudin Cherelus 20 (87%) Bam Martin-Scott 17 (74%) Maema Njongmeta 17 (74%) Akayleb Evans 14 (61%) JJ Jansen 9 (39%) Sam Martin 9 (39%) Corey Thornton 8 (35%) Ryan Fitzgerald 7 (30%) Demani Richardson 4 (17%) Nick Samac 3 (13%) Jake Curhan 3 (13%) Yosh Nijman 3 (13%)

      What's the best way to split RB carries?

      By countryboi · Posted

      Detroit does every other drive, but I think every other drive with a mix of riding the hot hand is best. that said Rico had 17 touches im ok with that I just dont like moments they picked Chuba.
