doesnt matter who we draft at RB. It wont help that Bryce cant push the ball downfield for a game. They will continue to stack the box eliminating any run game.

It also doesn't help to have a complete and utter moron calling plays.

I think we may have tried to run it outside once the entire game. Just moronic play calling having just about every one of our run plays be a dive with Vita vea being one of the best run defending DTs in the NFL

Exactly. There was absolutely nothing creative in the run game. Just the same old sh*t, over and over. 

Reminds me of the saying:

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

It was dead 2 months ago. Last week Seattle stayed in cover 2 the whole game and we still couldn’t run. Chuba hasn’t rushed for 100 yards all season and Rico’s last 100 yard game was the first week of November. 

Not true. Seattle ran man the whole time and completely fooled Dumb ass Dave. It’s as easy as pie. Teams don’t believe Bryce will beat them so they load the box. Cant run on stacked fronts.

They ran man but stayed with two high safeties, Seattle does not load boxes for any team. Go rewatch the game 

Same with the niners game, they did not stack the box. 
 

And yes you can run on loaded boxes

You can but not well and consistent.  Running with 9 in the box isn’t a recipe. And for some reason, dumbass Dave won’t use Play action

I do acknowledge we didn't try different things to spark the running game.  At the same time, when every OL is getting whipped by the Tampa D, it's just a difference between being tackled for a loss between the hash marks or tackled for a loss outside the hash marks.

We dont need to draft a RB, just roll next year with Chuba, Brooks, and Etienne.  Dowdle will go somewhere else, someone will pay him and we have too many holes to invest MORE resources at RB.  FA money needs to be focused on a WR2 opposite Tmac and LB, We need Pass rush but not sure who we could actually get because they Pass rushers cost so much money.

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
