If they’re going to give anyone more carries it needs to be Vaughn.

Hes really good between the tackles and has explosive plays in him.

It’s bizarre they haven’t used him more.

We can. Dowdle is perfect in his role. We don’t need more of it.
we finally agree on something. I think the lead blocker and using a fullback is the answer, especially against the bigger teams inside. I think it was a tactical mistake last week not doing that, at least. I mean, give the backs some help Mike.

I think big plays in the passing game fixes everything.

and we agree here as well. I think he thrives if he has a lead blocker too. I think this game is a great match up on this front.

I think we need to give Rico a chance to start, see how he does. I love his quick feet, and he's very shifty for a guy his size. We know and understand that Jerry paid Pollard 10 million, but it seems like Pollard was better when he's in the role he was in for all these years. Come in for how many plays (maybe he gets more due to depth that's fine of course). Let him come in with fresh legs, see if he can make some of those explosive plays we've come to know him to do. Please give your thoughts....
To be fair, after Tony, all of our RBs are scrubs.

All of them.

We really need to look at the OL to see what the major problems are.

Most NFL RBs have elite production when they get high volume.

It really doesn’t matter who the RB is.

So if they were to not look like scrubs anymore to you it would be because their opportunity increased.

Funny, how so many fans were screaming for Pollard to be the starter and now they’re starting to have second thoughts. Lol

pollard is a zone 1 cut back and this running game is not that anymore. we have elements of that still but watching the run game it looks more power and pulling. he’s not a fit for that.

between the tackles he is. I don't want pollard taking a beating inside and fumbling.
McCaffrey ran between the tackles and fumbled the other night..

It happens.

Pollard is an elite RB.

Jerry aint paying $10 mill for a backup........Pollard starts until he gets hurt again.
