What do "pass on him" mean? All 2nd round and later picks were passed on at least once by all teams with a 1st round pick.
I have never actually done the numbers but I don't know that you have more success spending high picks on RBs, over lower picks that you can develop. There are just two many examples of lower ranked players making good contributions. I mean, this should not be so difficult, to me. We have our starting back. What we want is a reliable second string buy. That doesn't need to be a 1st round pick and they can definitely be found in the later rounds. You just have to make an effort to draft them.
Trading for Duke doesn’t prevent you from drafting a back.
I always enjoy your take on things.
I might not always agree but you don't just repeat other people's (media) narratives.
No, this offense needs a boost. It needs a overhaul. Changing the offense needs to happen ASAP.But then you are changing the Offense. What you would like to do is run the same Offense without having to make everybody on the entire Offense change. What you would really like to have is a situation in which you can plug in another back and run the same Offense.
Yeah and I don’t get it. Especially when we are taking about a 5th round pick. Now anything higher? I’ll have some complaints.Seriously, people are prisoners of their own minds.
That’s exactly what Duke is. A weapon.We need a weapon not a backup.
Linehan is gone. We may just learn how to utilize our RB, TE, and WR. Its difficult to evaluate most of our offensive players based on last seasons stats. Hopefully the new kid has some creative ideas. Linehan probably took at least a half season off of Zeke's NFL life expectancy.I like Duke Johnson as a player.
But no way in hell, would we utilize him right here.
Pass on trading for him for that reason alone
I am still very frustrated at how this club appears to value Lewis.
The guy won us the Saints game on just a handful of snaps.
But hey, no length. RIchard is no different than Marinelli with his "quick twitch" hangup.

Ya i like him. Just reminding some folks that more Rod Smiths will not get us to the next level.That’s exactly what Duke is. A weapon.
Ohhhh got you. I agree. I like Rod too but he's limited at tail back.Ya i like him. Just reminding some folks that more Rod Smiths will not get us to the next level.
learning the passing game and pickups is the hardest thing for young RBslike the player but couldn't you just draft a younger, cheaper version?

Don't get the hype for Duke Johnson other than the fact he has a really cool "Football Name."
