Broaddus: Linehan big Dunbar fan

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Broadus called Linehan the new OC but he also gets referenced as the Playcalling coordinator...which is it?

If I do nothing else, I am going to browbeat this forum into understanding the notion of mutually exclusivity. in this case he can be both at the same time. Amazing huh?

He just needs some luck, most injuries are a fluke.

Knee injuries and fumbles after hits are not 'fluke.' This isn't Matt Johnson coming down awkward and twisitng his ankle on a noncontact play.

That's exciting to hear, because the reality is that Dunbar was ignored the entire season even when he was healthy.

I'm very excited to see how we lean on the running backs this year. Whoever wins the 3rd spot should be a special player. That basically means it won't be Randle.

When you throw Malena into the mix and maybe Josh Harris, Randle is gonna have to really work to stay on the team

Dunbar needs to put it together this year. We need production.....not hope.

So ur not a Dunbar fan eh? The defender came down on him kinda crazy on that last injury, tough break...

With RB, it is an issue of when and not if. The when started Dunbar's rookie year. Sure the last injury saw his knee twist badly but he had leg injuries his rookie year as well. They hit him pretty well when he fumbled too.

And Dunbar was injured during the year. Let's not play this game of pretending that he wasn't on the mend and that he wasn't fumbling because he was. Broaddus likes playing this game too.

He was hurt and he did put the ball on the turf. It's not this world where he was lighting up the preseason -he didn't do that either- and then Garrett didn't play him.

It was a deep running back draft too. Not sure why we took him. Made no sense to me, but I thought, maybe the scouts see something in him.

According to nfl.com, he had the 3rd highest grade for RBs, so maybe they went by that. I would rather we took Marcus Lattimore or even S Phillip Thomas in round 4 when they were both still on the board, but we took B.W. Webb instead.

Careful, you are messing with organizational strategy here.

Poop happens

Poop happens

Ball security and staying healthy are the big concerns when it comes to small players. He has both of those issues and plays the most physically demanding position. It is what it is.
