Belt: Miles Sanders showing way more juice than Javonte Williams

[TheMarathonContinues]

Doesnt matter if its Sanders OR Williams as the winner as Cowboy bellcow RB.

Because I've seen recent past combos from Payton with Ingram and Kamara in NO. More recently Johnson had Gibbs and Montgomery in Detroit as a very effective 1-2 punch.
And if ya wanna go the running QB/RB duo there's Hurts with Barkley and Jackson with Henry.

But for some strange reason I just can't picture the current Cowboy running back room and QB matching that type level of performance.

And THAT type performance is exactly what's needed for this offense to succeed.

Unfortunately.

I mean if the offensive line is as good as it should be with all the resources they've spent on it.....I can certainly see this running back room being good enough for top 10. If it can't, i'm questioning why we have spent so many 1sts on it.....

I think for last season, it’s partly an issue of small sample size. He only had 55 carries on the year. If he broke one 30 yard run his average would have been 4.2 YPC.

That could be the case. Averages are pumped up by bigger runs. However, it can be especially true with a lower amount of carries. I remember when fans wanted to start Troy Hambrick over Emmitt because Hambrick's average was higher as a backup with a whole lot fewer carries. Emmitt left, they tried Hambrick as the starter and his average tumbled.

I personally prefer backs who can average 4-plus without any big runs because that shows they are not really just averaging a yard or two and every now and then inflating their YPC with a 20-yarder. I mean, if you had four runs for a yard each and then ran for 20, you're averaging 5 YPC.

That's tough because that's Rico. He was solid and didn't have any big runs. But it felt like the run game wasn't productive. I want my guys floor to be 4 yards a carry and be able ot break off big runs. I think Pollard had a good comibation of that. Prime Zeke too.

Your Madden player?

JK, CBNY.

The RB group (4) seems like:

Blue
Mafah
Luepke
Either Sanders or Williams

I wish it was:

Dowdle
Blue
Mafah
Luepke

 

[Gambit]

Yeah Miles and Javonte for sure don’t have that so if Blue is ready it’s his job to lose.

I honestly think Mike could’ve handled that Zeke situation better. He should’ve demanded against jr.

Wasn't it you... No nvm it wasnt.. but someone had mentioned how Mike had more control than most thought over players last year and local media is opening up about that more.

If it's true, then Mike may to blame there.

I’ve been preaching that it could’ve been me. I’ve heard guys like Belt say Mike didn’t want control. He relied on the guys above him to make the decision. Which would explain things like fake injuries to Rico so they can play Zeke. Also was stated Garrett had more say than people think.

In comparison when they traded got Pickens Shotty was consulted. When they traded for Lance and Mingo Mike had no idea and didn’t care…..

 

[Hardline]

That's what they said at UT.

Bijan Robinson
Johnathan Brooks
C.J. Baxter.

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

I won’t judge anything or anyone until the pads are put on. Period

 

[kskboys]

If only there was a stat for juice.

I only want to know how much vodka to add!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DuncanIso]

I love Duece the kid and story, but he has no business ending up on this roster.

I think he has a role… 3rd downs?

But likely a cut.

Rico slow. Sub 4.6

He was Big Mikes pet.

Dowdle is far better than Williams or Sanders though.

Offensive line is one of those position groups that needs attention every year. Unfortunately, with five positions to fill, it really helps to hit on those picks. For every Trent Williams or Lane Johnson, guys that seem to play forever, there are loads of JAG’s filling out the o-lines across the league.

 

[speedkilz88]

Nonsense.

 

[Risen Star]

Question: Will “Coach Jones” even allow his prize RB FA signings to play this preseason?

Last summer, Zeke was considered so critical to this offense by our GM and shadow HC, he never played a down in a PS game. Will Jerry allow Sanders or Javonte Williams to be tire tested this summer?

The most we can hope for is Mafah gets a series in the dress rehearsal game.

Video linked for your convenience.




It's early but make of it what you will.

Not surprised, Williams is the jaggiest of JAGs.

Plus he cost me a 300k payday in fanduel so I hate him.

 

[FoxF]

This may say more about J. Williams than Sanders. Let’s wait for the pads and hitting.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

Nonsense.

Dowdle averaged 4.6 yards per carry last season.

Williams and Sanders BOTH averaged just 3.7.

That's a massive difference. No comparison really.

There's a reason Dowdle commanded a higher salary than either of the other 2.

 

[Pass2Run]

Sanders is a between the tackles runner.
