Derrick Gore needs to be the 1st and 2nd down back.
 
D. Williams can be the 3rd down guy and CEH can get 1 or 2 carries a game.

Gore is the only back on the team with any shot at taking one to the house and MEH is pretty terrible at every facet of the game. Williams isnt good either, but seems to be better at receiving than all but 2 players on this team, so you can't sit him at the moment.

Agreed. Gore has burst can we say that about CEH and D Will?

True, but he definitely deserves more touches to find out.

Honestly not even sure what to say about our backs at this point, its such a random hodgepodge of strengths and weaknesses... they just don't complement each other very well IMO

But hey we're winning, so it must be working good enough... but yeah, I'm reeeally wanting to see some genuine change next season

These kinds of threads are always fun.

Look, Derrick Gore might have it in him, but NEEDS to be?

We just don't know that. For all we know, he might look like utter dookie ass if given that expanded role within the offense. It's certainly happened to other players on this team.

I'm going to let the fat man coach and run the team, because he does actually know what is best.

To earn playing time on a championship level team at a pivotal position like RB, you need to be able to do everything asked of you well to have trust from the coaches. Gore is earning more opportunities, but he needs to show the coaches in meetings and practice that he can handle pass protection and how to be effective as a pass catcher to leapfrog Clyde and Williams…both of who have earned the trust of the coaches in those regards.

One missed block on an edge defender can derail a whole season and that’s far more important than being able to be arguably more effective in just one role in the offense.

I think the kid has a bright future here, but there’s lots of work to do so the offense isn’t predictably working around his weaknesses while he’s on the field.

I definitely think Gore deserves more carries because CEH is just so under whelming. I have posted this stat before but his career long carry is 31 yds. Washed up Adrian Peterson had a longer run last year. Gore just beat that with backup OL.

We definitely need to upgrade that position in the off season

CEH is not the best RB on this team. I don't think he's even the 2nd best.

It's the Faid. We put up almost 900 yds of offense in two games.

That's not good enough?


It's a team sport.

What have we done offensively in games not the Raiders lately? Not as good.

Thankfully our defense has dominated.
