McCarthy said entering the season that our RBs were going to be asked to block a lot. Deuce is too small to be an effective blocker, which is one big reason he doesn’t get playing time. Another big reason he’s been inactive a number of times this season is because he doesn’t play special teams other than as a returner. He’s very limited as to how you can use him. He’s been a wasted roster spot.
Deuce will get some playing time once our playoff position is set. Maybe also M. Bryant.

Wanted to see Brooks continue to progress, but it's cool maybe Jalen n Turp turn those extra snaps into some production.

I wonder if they are making Fant active to see how he does in short yardage situations running the ball sort of like McCarthy did with Ty Montgomery when they were both with the Packers.

Our playoff position likely won’t be set until week 18. At the very least we’ll be playing for seeding. We need to finish the season strong if we want to have any chance in the playoffs. I don’t think Deuce we’ll see much playing time the rest of the season, unless we suffer a rash of injuries at RB or Turpin is injured. He would’ve had some opportunities in these blowout wins, but he’s been inactive.

I like how they bring up numerous players from the jv and let them play some.

They very well could be playing for the 1, 2, or 5 on the final week of the season.

I agree. I hate they made Brooks inactive, but I like that they are testing players in game situations that you may need to rely on at some point late in the season or post-season.

So Princeton Fant being called up from the PS likely bumped Jalen Brooks to the inactive list.

Going heavy at TE. Does that mean that Big Mac is going more run heavy against that Seahawks D?
That’s what it has me thinking.
