Zeke can do Dunbars job so much better.

I don't know about that
I like Zeke but he can't play every down in the nfl and last the 5 years he will be here
I want him carrying the ball and making those big runs. Dmac and Morris can spell him some. Dunbar will start season on pup

Ummm, no. Morris was signed for short yardage, grind time. He's notorious in DC as a poor blocker and brick hands. Dunbar gets released or traded at some point unless a back is injured in camp.

EE- workhorse








Morris- pure backup 10 carries



Scatback/Dunbar

PS- rookie ST contributor


no need to waste 2m on 5 carries and no STs.....dime a dozen on Waiver Wire

Could package one of them in a trade to move into the late 1st round, or move up to get a 2nd second rounder?

Dunbar will likely miss the first 6 games on PUP. That's the only thing that keeps McFadden on the roster. IMO...

I have wondered this for a while ever since signing Morris but especially after getting an elite 3 down back like Zeke does it make sense for us to keep all 4 RBs? I can't see Dunbar going anywhere, he is cheap, he is a good change of pace guy and great on special teams. So are Morris and McFadden completing for that last roster spot or will we keep all 4?

Ben Melena, Rod Smith? No.

We won't keep 4 RBs. Somebody's gotta go.

No need and I think Dunbar is the odd man out.

Zeke and McFadden are both 3 down back types. McFadden is the backup IMO. Morris is the change of pace

$2 million is a ton of money. Mcfadden was OK. Morris can help Zeke. I think he is the type of player that wants to guide younger players.

Morris stays, 29 year old injury prone RB will be gone after he pulls his hammy in training camp.

all this talk about cuts, lol why not trade McFadden or Morris? we could probably get our 5th back for McFadden at least, maybe even another 4th.....shoot, McFadden, Leary for a 3rd wouldnt be out of the question......

Dunbar shouldn't count as an RB at this stage. Hang on to all of them and if Zeke emerges like you hope, trade Mcfadden before the deadline to a team battling injuries at that position.
