Early Look at a 2 Man Deep Depth chart on Offense

[jazzcat22]

can you be more definitive?

Not at this time, but if I had to choose one for now, I would take Robinson.
He would have more of an impact right away, as they can get a good OG & TE in rounds 2 & 3 that can still contribute.

It is like, will a 1st round OG have a bigger impact with or for a 2nd round RB to have success. Or a RB can have better success with a slightly lesser OG because that RB is far better than any RB taken after him.

As I said though, I need to look more at the draft. I do not buy into the theory any RB can produce behind a great OL.

OUCH!!

I know your a RB back guy and certainly rookie RB's can be impactful. But 3rd rounders can be just as impactful as 1st rounders.

Now wouldnt you agree that the best guard in the draft plus Kendra Miller would be more impactful than just Robinson and Chung at guard? Not only THIS year but for the next 6 years?

And certainly the guard would equally help the passing game as well.

"any RB can produce behind a great OL"?

Why the exaggeration? ANY good RB can produce behind a great Oline is more like it.

And FYI...................What do you think Robinson had? Probably a top 2 Oline to run behind playing against boys. So he certainly looked a lot better than he probably was.

Personally I love Charbennot as well. . Great all around back.

Zeke dragged down the offense. We are better off with out him by subtraction. They would be dumb to give Jones 200 carries, but if they did he could easily replace the hapless Zeke.

You said something similar about WR regarding 19 and James Washington last offseason. Do you believe that it's acceptable to move towards the season with the RB position in its current state?

Feel free to explain your WR comment.

As far as RB position not by a long shot. They need to draft a RB in rounds 2-4 if they really want to run the ball and be dominant. AS well as take a guard within the first two picks.

Do you not recall being vocal about Washington and Tolbert being able to match the production of 19. You essentially just said the same about Jones replacing Zeke.

I absolutely agree that a RB needs to be drafted high, and I'd use our 1st IF that's what the draft board dictated. I also agree that the interior line needs to be addressed early and often. The offense thriveswhen the run game dictates the pace of the game. With the current personnel in place, I don't think they can. Hence my initial response in this thread.

I'm just confused by your response. Why would you even remotely suggest Jones could replace Zeke when he hasn't done anything in 2 years?

NO definitely dont remember that one. That was not may angle by any stretch.

As far as Zeke you could get just about any RB to average 3.8 ypc in this offense. Replacing Zekes ineptitude is the least of their worries.

What they need is a better back than Zeke or Jones. They need a playmaker to team with Pollard. As Pollard is a guy that should get 15-20 touches a game. I also dont believe in full load backs anymore. Its a misuse of the back and the position.

Pollard needs to be teamed with two other talented backs with the top 2 being featured.

Give me Miller from TCU or Isreal from Pitt in the 3rd or 4th round and were ready to roll. Jones is not a back I would have signed. Other veterans I liked more.
