We need a scat back

[NorthwestDallas40]

I wanted this for 2 years. Why haven’t we brought in a Sproles/Chris Thompson/Ekeler/Philip Lindsay type? I’m not saying to take Zeke off the field, but screens and draws to small quick guys create easy, big chunk plays.

 

[HungryLion]

Agreed.

We need somebody like Lance Dunbar but who can stay healthy.

Would make a difference for our offense.

Every question can be answered with because of jerry

 

[acr731]

I need a beer. Or 12.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Or just a better backup RB in general.

 

[kevm3]

no thanks, last thing I want is linehan trying to get cute on 3rd and short using some finesse back

 

[unionjack8]

1000000% agree with this.

Gives the offense options in a 2 backfield set

Tavon Austin was here but our ******* coaching staff wouldn’t know how to draw up a screen pass as you described.

I agree. Every time we handed to Smith, it almost felt like a throwaway down. I know Randle had some major issues, but in '14 I liked the feeling that he could make something happen when Murray went out.

Linny won't b here

Thought Tayvon Austin was supposed to fill this role...?

He’s healthy now, why do we need another guy?

I think we need a real RB. If Austin is in the backfield, it really tips off the play. D knows he’s not staying in to pass block.

 

[SuspectCorner]

A small fast bowling ball-type RB should be easy to find in the later rounds of the draft.

Your right we do need a guy like Sproles...Kamara to take some heat off Zeke and it gives the team another option instead of Zeke up the gut.

He is not that player.

I agree and have been saying it since romo romo in 2014.

It would give us another weapon in the passing game and take some of the load off of zeke.

Linehan would have absolutely no idea how to use him. He would be completely lost

 

[Mr_437]

FA Scat Backs:
Ameer Abdullah
Dareen Sproles
Fozy Whittaker
Charcandrick West

Not much on the market for this position, however finding an RB2 shouldn't be an issue...plenty decent vets out there.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Wouldn’t shock me one bit if they spent a 2nd rounder on one just for them not to use him.

We have one in Austin it’s just Linehan doesn’t know how to use him.
