What happened to Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams?

[Denim Chicken]

Me too. But we was near the bottom in YPC and that’s why we couldn’t still to the run. If we can just got to avg we should be able to run more. Just another half yard per carry gets you from near the bottom to the middle of the league. More attempts at a half yard better and your offende is better. No one expects us the have an elite rushing attack but we have to get to Atleast an avg rushing attack

What funny is Rico ended up at 4.6 YPC which would have been good for top ten in team rushing. Everyone else brought the average down.

Jerry brought in the 2 JAGs because he didn't want to pay up to keep Dowdle. It was a decision to save money in my view. Dallas got what they paid for, as another mentioned earlier. The increasingly top heavy roster is taking its toll below.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Definitely throwing numbers at a problem and hoping for the best. I would have rather they re-signed Dowdle then signing both these two.

Much rather. He wasn't great, but at least he ran super hard and played violent. Not sure either of these guys brings much of anything.

Except Williams & Sanders combined cost more that Rico, or at least about the same.

Remember- this is the same management team that said Zeke could still play.

Now that was some twisted logic

 

[Rockport]

What do you mean what happened to them?

They're the "Lethal RB Group" written about by Inside The Star which was posted here, which obviously is an unbiased reliable source

GET READY TO POUND THE ROCK WITH OUR LETHAL RBs !!!!!!!!

King of the Bandwagon Fans!

Not looking hopeful based on the replies in this thread. LOL

Was looking at our new RB squad and they say Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams are getting most of the first-team snaps, and I remember both of those guys having some big plays against us not that long ago. Was looking at Sanders numbers, and he put up some impressive stuff for Philly only to fall flat his last 2 years in Carolina. He never had a 100 yard game against us and seems like the Boys could usually shut down whatever was making Philly click but was it injuries, or just a bad team with the Panthers that derailed his career? Javonte looks like he was never the same after the injury his sophomore year. Just wondering what are the odds we signed one of those running backs that still has a good year in them, and no one realized it.

What happened to them is what happens to all NFL running backs. They aged out, experienced a number of injuries sapping their athleticism, and are barely hanging on in the league.

They probably have a couple good games left in them, but we saw what happened to Zeke at this point in his career.

 

[Rockport]

RB is clearly the weak link on the offense and I expect us to have a poor rushing attack.

It is really unfortunate but none of this group is close to being an NFL RB1 and, honestly, I’m not sure any of them are high quality RB2.

If they see during training camp and preseason games that their RB’s are wanting, hopefully they’ll make a move to get better.

You can pretty much take the opposite of what the majority here think and be correct.

Williams was probably cooked after his injury. It was pretty bad

I dont know what you can do at this point except take another flyer on a cut.

Trade. Some teams RB stable is a strength but may have another position group that is lacking.

 

[DUO_CORE]

Here's hoping one of them can have an "OJ Andersen" comeback like he did with the Giants.

 

[fivetwos]

I see that duo as comparable to 1986 when Herschel joined the team and was paired with Dorsett.

Will they alternate series? Be used together? Either way it’s a lethal combo, and DCs shouldnt expect to sleep much the night before playing us.

(Record scratching sound)

Two castoffs and two Saturday rookies are what you end up with when you neglect the position for years even though you know you’re losing your top two very soon…and continue to do so as it happens, and after it happened.

I honestly don’t mind not using big resources at RB, but they needed to feed it with 3rd-5th rounders here and there over the last few years.

Funny how the old cliche/mantra for a winning football formula is…..’run the ball, stop the run.’ Which two positions do the Jones duo value the least? DT and RB….and they don’t win. Imagine that.

Rico Dowdle has signed a one-year, $6.25 million contract with the Carolina Panthers. The deal includes a base salary of $2.75 million, with the potential for an additional $3.5 million in performance incentives. Dallas just saving money. It's too bad because running back by committee does not work.

 

[Pass2Run]

I would go Mafah, Williams, Blue

Then Vaughn if one gets hurt.

Luepke makes FB but I also use him as a HB-back, TE.

We want big backs this year that can block.

I think Miles Sanders might be the odd man out. I like Mafah more than Sanders, I think.

Someone is bound to get injured. And I could end up being wrong about Sanders anyway.

Produce!

Mingo & Tolbert getting clean looks against weaker secondary players is exciting. These guys as WR2 was a stretch, now they can actually be in advantageous positions to succeed instead of hoping they play above their level.
