Pacheco to IR

The silver lining is that running backs can come out of seemingly nowhere and have all pro seasons. Much more common than other positions.

Oh, lighten up. Gotta get experience somehow.

Saylors is going to be a fine backup, and, Vaki has proven he can do it (just, not for long, apparently).

Bet Saylors Wally Pipps him for RB2.

Yep… Quality run blocking is much more important than who they’re blocking for

5.9 yards per carry in the preseason. A 100 yard game. He’s going to be good.

I would think if they were seriously worried, they would have called Craig Reynolds after he got cut.

He runs pretty patiently honestly. Seems to have that feel for timing when the hole will open. We’ll have a few weeks to see.

Denver in the late 90’s and Washington under Gibbs proved that. Didn’t matter what back you put behind those lines they were rushing for over 1,000 every year.

He has a ways to go to catch Mike McMahon as our Rutgers representative.

Pretty much what we all expected and why we kept 5 rb’s

Still makes no sense. What are the other two rbs going to do?

Saylors is RB2, Vaki is KR and ST, Small will handle PR and ST as well

Gibbs gets 60% of snaps

Vaki is 100% ST only.

So saylors will be RB2 and get 30% of snaps

Small will get maybe 10%

Just like Dorsey isn’t much of a CB

Right. Usually you have 1 LB, 1DB and 1RB that plays virtually 0O/D all year. But plays every single ST snap. Vaki, Dorsey, and Nowasake.

Vaki will be what he was last season.

Saylors is a younger Craig Reynolds, and, Small is the new Jefferson.

Pacheco is the new Swift.

We didn’t replace Monty or Kalif.

I guess my one question would be how they thought a guy like Pacheco would replace a guy like Montgomery. Brad has had terrible luck bringing in free agents who have injury histories. It just doesn’t make much sense to me.

Also, why not take a flyer on a RB in the later rounds of the draft? Nobody must have stood out to them, I guess.
