Myles Sanders or Javonte Williams

[Rayman70]

We saw a couple of years ago what Williams can do, first hand.

Yep, if he's anything close to that version of himself, watch out.

javontae.
tough between the tackles.
i've never been a fan of miles sanders.
neither should keep us from drafting a rb.
or a double dip,honestly.

 

[Rayman70]

Williams is still a good RB. He will make the team. Sanders may make the team if he beats out Deuce Vaughn and and/or Malik Davis, whom I think will be given a chance to win a job this year.

Bottom line, Lupke makes it, Williams makes it, and the rest will be a battle, but don’t be surprised if we draft a RB and bring in an UDFA back. That could push Davis and Vaughn both out.

Not sure Luepke makes it, or Deuce.

That's what training camp and preseason is for.

I wouldn't be shocked if both were unavailable on opening day.

In either case, they will be backing up a rookie.

but you know how the cowboys do they'll put out these guys first and let the rookie come in and eventually be the starter at week 4

I think they are both terrible and I am hoping they draft 2 RBs in this draft so they don't have to rely on either one.

They may keep both as they may only draft 1 RB if in the 1st 3 rounds. Then a flyer on one late, but may be more PS type guy. If no better player is there.

Keep in mind, They may not keep Deuce. Leupke, maybe, depends how the new staff values a FB. Can Williams take his place.

If they draft a RB like Henderson, who is an all around RB such Zeke was. Run, catch, block. That can make Leupke more expendable. I like Leupke, but how valuable is he to take a roster spot. Will they have package for Deuce, and can they execute those plays.

Neither Williams or Sanders are playing special teams so it’s highly unlikely both make the active roster.
Only way is if they skip on drafting a RB until the 5th and go into the season with Williams/Sanders as the top 2 RB’s on the roster…which would be a disaster. Carrying a RB3 that doesn’t play ST is hard to do.

By most measures Williams was arguably the worst RB to get significant carries in the NFL last season, so he shouldn’t make the roster…but he got more guaranteed $ than Sanders so he likely will.

Some coaches prefer a vet RB in the depth chart.

They like to take the game slowly on a mental aspect to rookies. Take some touches and burdens off rookies while they learn and adjust to the NFL game.
It's not all about just toting the ball with RBs.
Assignments, blitz blocking, tempo & patience, pass routes, hot reads & audibles, etc.

 

[charron]

How do they look in camp? Who starts the season healthy? And do they draft a potential starter?

 

[shabazz]

You guys are losing your minds if you don't think we'll keep little deuce!!

So far he's appeared to be a deuce worth dropping.

Several here have suggested that MM has been " holding him back" so this year should finally confirm or dispel this claim

Not sure Luepke makes it, or Deuce.

I’m pretty confident in Luepke….still on rookie UDFA deal, plays special teams, FB, backup TE, emergency RB depth. He was the fourth most used player on special teams.

 

[Ironicalicon]

Not enamored with either. Need a stud in the draft... And another who can contribute.
