Darrel Williams to IR; DB Alex Brown to 53; Dieter to PS

Darrel is our worst back IMO, so I’m good with this. Signing Brown makes me think we aren’t gonna have Claiborne or Fenton Sunday... |

Ah, wasn't sure if he was off the PS or some JAG we signed off the street. Doesn't really matter either way.

Man, I think Darrel has been our second best back, but if he can't go, he can't go.
I think Shady has been our best back, fumbles notwithstanding. Shady and Thompson going forward is probably our best bet anyway given the state of our line play. |

Ware will get a lot of playing time very fast.

Andy being Andy, I think Darwin will go back under the radar. He'll use Ware and McCoy and forget about Darwin again. It just seems like something Andy is going to do.

I feel like he’s the type of back who needs holes big enough to where he can really roll through them at top speed and then finish with some power. But those holes haven’t been available so he winds up more or less tip toeing, and doing it very slowly with little bend in his body to get skinny and create extra yards. |

Wrong kind of back for a team getting wrecked in the middle. He needs time to get his shoulders square and get up to speed. He may not be able to 'get skinny' through a hole but if there's a sliver there he can power into it for 4-5 yards. But he's not even getting a sliver or that chance to build power. It's a little surprising he's been as nominally effective as he has been. Darrel going down sucks for him but it doesn't move the needle for the team.

This season has certainly made me question the idea of just going with Jags at RB.

I got shit on all over for it, and maybe Bell was wrong -- but the theory is right. This offense goes from really good but stoppable to clearly unstoppable with a Kareem Hunt franchise back that defenses have to respect. Kareem Hunt was the reason Alex Smith was able to beat the Patriots in Foxborough. And a lack of Hunt was the reason the Pats could outlast us in 2018. |

Of course any back will struggle running the ball though as long as Reiter and Wylie are your guys on the o-line |

We'd also have another 2nd round pick this year to spend on OL. Or somewhere else. Or trade down. Or trade up. But instead we acquired a guy who seems really nice and says good things and works hard in training camp. |
