CRA

Recommended Posts

6 games in.....

99 rushes, 389 rushing yards, 3.9 per carry, 4 rushing TDs

The 3 COMBINED are on pace for a total of

1037 rushing yards. The most highly invested and paid backfield in NFL history.....Hurney fugging magic indeed.

Oh CRA, how I hate you so...

For what.....

Oh, bc it is yet another thing I went on and on and on about.....and I look to be right?

Kinda like we should draft Luke bc he is a stud and Beason wouldn't likely be healthy? D sure looks good enough to win some games with rookie Luke in the middle if you ask me.

What do you do with 2RBS? You run the hell out of them with fresh legs. Sub them in and out. Remember when we had 2 1,000 yard rushers? (Hard to read but I took that in 2009)

What do you do with 3RBS? You use one as a badass FB.

What do you do with 3RBS and the best running QB in the league? You run the freaking wishbone or I formation or some damn thing once in a while. get these guys on the field. It's a bunch of talent.

Figure it out Chud

So this could work but we are running so many shotgun plays. We need play action and misdirection out of under center formations to utilize this backfield.

Well, nothing suggests our coaching regime wants anything to do with that....never has.

That is the problem.....Hurney wants X and coaches want Y = fail. Doesn't matter which side you take....it is a front office failure. Not a Cam issue, DeAngelo issue, Steve Smith or Jordan Gross one.....offensive players basically overall are put in a position to fail. They have proven they aren't going to overcome that.....

    • The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman. 
    • And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!
    • If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
