Our RB's!!!!!

I think we should remind ourselves that we have the best RB's in football and the best RB core in the game!! We haven't drooled over them in a long while!:D:D

1. Deangelo Williams

2. Jonathan Stewart

3-32. EVERYONE ELSE

Yes...And I think we souldnt be letting any of these 2 guys go. They are the heart of our offense for sure.

Running backs are only as good as your OL. Our line has been in steady decline (just short of free-fall) since 2008.

In 2009 and 2010 they were able to improve dramatically at the end of the season. But they're getting older and we need a group who can put it together for the entire regular season (and playoffs, hopefully).

I never thought I would say this, but we should consider trading one of them IF we can get a solid QB. If we can't, then keep them. We can't compete in our conference with Matt Ryan and Drew Brees.

I'm confident that Rivera's schemes will handle those two. Its Freeman who scares me.

I think the relationship is about mutual. Deangelo wouldn't have had all those long runs in 08 if it wasn't for him being a badass. Our line isn't that old at all. Gross is the only one in his 30's if I'm not mistaken. Wharton will last a good while longer. We just need to shore up RG and draft or sign a tackle with some potential so that we can groom him in the event one of the tackle's goes down.

Schwartz can be a good RG and a suitable tackle. What we really need is for Duke Robinson to emerge and maul people with Otah. That will solve a lot of depth problems.

    • Yup. Hopefully  Brandon adds some muscle this off-season but he'll probably be resting his shoulder for a while so I doubt it. Miles should probably be replaced but I don't think we find a better 4th option to be honest. So is it better to add depth along side williams and Coby or try to upgrade the 4/5 . I think adding depth will probably be more beneficial than trying to upgrade starters and bank on Brandon and Kons continuing development. I really don't think they are going to make the playoffs unfortunately. I think the big hole they put themselves in has exhausted them. They've been amazing since January 1 but I think it's come at a cost and their legs are gone. 
    • The issue is the predictability of it all in a Bryce Young led offense. In 4th down attempts the Jets were at 41 and we were at 40. And we were 4th in conversation %. We were 25th in the league in 3rd down conversion because we faced so many 3rd and longs in part due to playcalling on 1st and 2nd down but more largely due to the limitations that cannot be overcome.  And people want us to spend another 1st rounder on WR as if it is going to magically give Bryce physical talent he will never possess. It's a shame we cut off our own nose just to put ourselves in this frustrating predicament.
