I'm delighted to see that we got Rashaan Evens. He's a very good addition for us, especially with his specialty being the run. That is very key for us with the remaining schedule that we have. I still would like to see us sign a RB. I think part of the problem that we have on offense is that we don't really have a downhill running back. I suppose maybe Dowdle and Luepke for that, but I'd like a bit more oomph at RB. Vaughn and Pollard are great for outside running. I think a more downhill back would help us have a bit more of a balanced offense. I suppose one thing that we could try is to call up Malik Davis. He might be able to help with running up the middle. Alternatively, I'd like to see if Fournette still has any gas in the tank. He's still a FA (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Fournette). He's not a bad back for trying to run up the middle. I know the pickings are a bit slim, especially for the back that I'm wanting to see us get, but I think either Davis or Fournette could be good additions for us. Especially, these would be good options to shake things up on offense.

Last thing this team needs is another aging declining running back, already have four running backs on the roster.......

Sure, and Malik Davis, who's on our PS, is always an option. I just want to see if we can get someone who can handle the middle runs and the short yardage situations (though, that's probably more Luepke's forte).

Yeah.... should have Been David Montgomery in the offseason!!! That would have been a solid 1, 2 punch with Pollard. But this FO doesn't want to win!

That would've been a brilliant move. A perfect transition from Zeke.

For what… nothing out there better than what we have as backups and on PS!

That’s not about to happen. We should’ve never traded away Amari Cooper, especially for a measly fifth round pick. It was a big mistake then and it continues to be a big mistake.
I loved Amari Cooper, but he was a no show on occasion.

He wasn’t being targeted enough. He battled a lot of lower body injuries and played despite them. Our passing game hasn’t been as good since he was traded. He always had to be accounted for which opened up opportunities per our other receivers.
