News: Bo + Austin = the end for Rod Smith?

[StarMan2112]

Rod Smith is a Jag. I like his heart but he's really not great at anything.

Nothing against the guy, but yep... JAG.

 

[Nightman]

It is just restocking the pond

RSmith has one year left and Bo has 4 years left

We can keep them both and Austin and Olawale

The backup job is Rod's to lose. I don't think they will just give away the spot because everyone recognizes the name Bo Scarbrough from Bama

Like Bo but looks like PS for him to me. Rod runs the ball well enough plus brings ST and versatility. Can’t imagine going deep at RB because we will have to go deep at WR and/or TE til we can figure who can play

 

[SportsGuru80]

I doubt it

the Cowboys have carried a fb every year since Garrett ran the offense
remember they kept 2 fullbacks last year with Keith and Rod Smith blowing peoples minds cutting the great Darius Jackson
Keith won the job and Rod found work beyond ST
they may have used Keith less last year with Dak but they will have an H back
its situational but still important enough that they will carry a fb guaranteed and why they traded for Olawale

oline refreshed - Zeke available - drafting blocking tightend - trade for fullback
to me that sounds like smashmouth football

They have consistently used the FB between 10 and 12 % under Garrett. They picked up the FB for his receiving ability not his blocking and Schultz is a complete TE not strictly a blocker. We are going to run a ton of single back with four receiver sets using WRs, TEs, and Austin a RB/WR hybrid. We are going to spread them out and run. Also take note that Williams has great feet and is not simply a road grader. Run yes, smashmouth nope.

PS will be death for him. we might as well keep him or tell one of teh RBs we ll just draft their replacement next year. These arent hard to draft.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Austin might not even make the 53, and if he does he probably won't be back next season.

I think he'll make the 53. The second part of your statement I agree!

I'd be surprised if Bo isn't on the PS.
Barring injuries, <10% chance he supplants Rod this year.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Don't know if they would use a roster spot for a fullback, since we almost never use them... Sure seemed to work well back in the day with Moose though lol.

With Witten and Hanna leaving, I think there is a real chance for a FB to be part of the base offense. FB + Beasley.

He doesn't need to supplant Rod to make the roster.

 

[3rd_n_inches]

Whoever wins this battle should see snaps in the regular season.

 

[Nightman]

Exactly .....it is Bo vs Jarwin, MMartin, CGreen, NBrown, RGathers, DThompson, MWhite, CRush

If DAL goes EE, RSmith, TAustin, Olawale that is only one true TB

 

[RoboQB]

It’s this simple: Rod can play special teams. Can Bo? Because he’s going to need to contribute on special teams to make the team.

Can you imagine someone like that as a gunner on the punt team!?!
He has the speed and moves well. Maybe he can also return kickoffs.

If not for the injuries in college Bo would have been a 1st round pick if healthy he can run hard and run over people

I see RSmith as a TB.

[JoeKing]

Bo will need to be useful on special teams to justify retaining him for the 53 man roster. The more you can do, the more are needed.

 

[Melonfeud]

That's more production in that single "Bo" touch,,,than I've witnessed out of any 4 combined from #45

I personally am aware of what 'poor form' it is in quoting oneself, yet I'm compelled to hold in repudiation of myself, concerning this prior statement,,,#45 had a career best 4th quarter monster showing against N.Y. last year

[Melonfeud]

Man,I'd just ran thru the rabbit hole of you tube that Hunka-Hunka's #95 thread thrust me into & ended up 're' witnessing that performance of #45,,,that first bullseye from #4 for 81& score was some sweet precision
