I Think We Need Another Back

[Pass2Run]

We have two good backs. But we're gonna come across that team that uses their speed to stop our speed and I just feel like we need a bruiser. I can see us losing a game or two at the goalline.

Do we have an inside the 5 back with Micah or even LVE?

Now that I think about it, you wouldn't know what to do as a defense if Micah lined up as a HB behind Vander Esch at FB.

Any chance we see Micah on offense in this role?

Just play Mazi in the backfield on the goal line.

Sorry but this team does not need another RB. I can get behind more oline and/or LB depth but not RB. They are just fine, IMO.

No. I mean a better one than Luepke, Davis, Dowdle...we have a 1, 2 w Pollad and Vaughn but we need another back unless they plan on running Pollard into the ground bell cow style.

I have to think Jones comes back when his suspension is over.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

If Pollard can handle about 20 combined touches per game and Deuce about ten, that should be enough.

McCarthy has also said he likes Dowdle's running style so they could also use him in short yardage. Dowdle's power is a bit underrated.

Much of the heavy lifting of a short yardage run (goal line run), is done by the OL and the TE’s. I’ve seen smaller backs get TD’s on a 1 yard run to the end zone. It isn’t just a Mike Alstott type RB that runs on short yardage.

I’m not sure that the team feels the same way you do about needing a big, bruising RB.

If they do, they’ll probably make the trade that you’re talking about. If they don’t, they likely won’t… so we should know in the next week if they view it like you do.

This team can not afford another non starting player that doesn't also play a key or solid role on special teams.

At least by the deadlines...

I cant believe you said that to me!!

Dowdle is their big back.

20 is too much for Pollard. He should avg closer to 15. I can't see them putting that kind of workload on him, if they are thinking of playoffs.

Duece, Dowdle and Luepke will need to chip in a lot. RJ coming back will depend on what we get out of those guys the first couple weeks imo

He needs to learn his spot first!

 

[yentl911]

I don't think the team has room to carry another back right now. They are deep and have some excellent depth that want to keep. We will already be using a spot for Lance that will take a place for someone that has good value. It is what it is.

Do you hear sitars When you say tha?

bruiser

Luepke probably solidified his place as that. A 230 lb back is about as heavy as they come these days, with very few exceptions.

Will he make the 53? Really hard to say. Guys like him aren't in huge demand, so there's a decent chance they try to sneak him on to the PS; but then again, he was evidently a hot commodity in the UDFA market, hence his bonus.

Did I mention it's really hard to say?

Some fans just wanna see a familiar name on the back of a jersey...

 

[Reid1boys]

I agree.... after Tuesday cuts, I think we should have no problem adding an adrian peterson type back for the league minimum. Im sure Jerry will be on it.

 

[TheSport78]

Luepke gives me serious Peyton Hillis vibes.

did you watch Pollard play last year? I hope you arent being serious about Micah on offense??? If you are, you should be suspended from posting for the remainder of this season.

No. I mean a better one than Luepke, Davis, Dowdle...we have a 1, 2 w Pollad and Vaughn but we need another back unless they plan on running Pollard into the ground bell cow style.

I actually like Jones. He was pretty solid when given the touches.
