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.

    • The blue line is a mess not collectively, but having to shuffle pieces just to get 3 D lines on the ice while playing three perennial contenders in 3 consecutive games without a break, there's not a lot of room for error.  Last night, there was literally not a single defensive pairing that had ever skated together before, either in the preseason or so far this season. 
    • Yeah, I am just looking at our pass blocking stats and the Texans stats being similar, but our oline is way better than theirs IMO. I feel like there are at least 5 times a game 3+ guys come free on a pass rush for opposing teams vs. the Texans. I can't recall too many times I have seen multiple lineman get beat/blow their blocking assignment on the same play this season for us.
    • I agree Someone like CJ who throws one of the nicest balls and throws with anticipation and everything you want just protect him. He has Nico. All other resources should’ve gone into the OL Now with that said I don’t think Young’s numbers would be very far off from Stroud’s had he gone to Houston  I mean since the whole CJ giving Caleb that post game speech their numbers are pretty similar if I’m recalling correctly
