Running back pool?

[Verdict]

Who is going to emerge out of this running back room who will actually produce on the field as the most productive back? Are any of them explosive?

Vaughn seems like the most explosive of the bunch but will he get enough touches to make a difference? Will Dalvin Cook learn the playbook and start carrying the torch?

Will Jerry trade for a back a few weeks into the season?

 

[Wilson]

I have no doubt, our practice squad can beat any practice squad in the NFL.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Looking at Rico and Cook, I think these two both have similarities in their game. They're big backs but they have shifty legs


I'm also interested in seeing how Zeke and Cook get along

He's gonna call DeMarco Murray out of retirement next

What if we did something like this:

Rotate Zeke and Cooks to keep them fresh.

Example

Week 1 Zeke 10-15 touches, Rico 10, Deuce 5

Week 2 Cooks 10-15 touches, Rico 10, Deuce 5

Give them every other week off.

Zeke - 135 touches
Cook - 135 touches
Rico -170 touches for the year
Deuce - 85 touches for the year

Cook is still the most explosive back on the team. Even if hes not a 4.3 guy, hes still the threat. Zeke will ball out because hes back home and will be protecting his buddy.

Dowdle is a combination of Cook and Zeke. But hes an injury concern. But he plays special teams.

Duece is just here to accumulate years so he can get an NFL pension. A waste of a roster spot. As much as I despise Goodwin on the roster, at least he plays.

 

[DoctorChicken]

Dowdle and Vaughn are the guys that should be getting the most touches since they are the backs who are actually a threat to pick up significant yardage if there is enough space in front of them.

 

[Teague31]

Deuce and Hunter are all we need. Cut the rest of them.

He’s going with who he has now. They believe Cooks has some left. But to answer your question, we don’t know yet.

Cook is a totally different player than Rico with nothing in similar.

Murray might be better than what we currently have, lol.

 

[Teague31]

The Eagles acting like they stole him from us was awesome

Oh brother.

 

[Chasing6]

Oh brother.

Deuce should at least get 2 touches a game.

 

[rambo2]

Deuce should at least get 2 touches a game.

Deuce should be playing.

Not bad. They're different types of backs so you pick who to feature based off of the opposing defenses, adjust if necessary. As long as nobody gets hurt, they stay fresh, and by the end of the season when the offensive line is coming into its own, we could be looking at a strong running game at the end of the season. I can dig it.

 

[Surfguy]

Oh now they got their own swimming pool? Where does it end?

Sorry.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

I would be pretty surprised if Rico didn't lead the team in touches and yards.

Nobody should be shocked if he has 12-1300 scrimmage yards.
