Do you think they roll with Damien Williams as the only player with any real NFL experience at RB? He gets hurt like he already has, and we have a rookie and a second year UDFA to lean on?

Im not syaing Hyde's roster spot is a certain lock but they gave him $1.5MM guaranteed for a reason.

It's running back. Wtf does veteran experience have to do with anything? It's the simplest easiest position in football while O-line is the most complex after QB. There's a reason it makes more sense to have veteran depth at O-line than RB. Especially in the case of Jeff Allen where he's been in this system before so his familiarity would come in handy. What can Hyde's veteran experience add?

Experience at RB is really overrated basically by year 2 Darrell Williams should be able to pick up a blitz, if he can't then he shouldn't be on a team.

They rolled with Williams in the playoffs last year, IIRC, so i'm guessing they'd be fine with him now?

Seems like a good likely cheap signing if some of the young guys just aren't there. Knows the system and all

Yeah I think everyone can agree that OL depth is very thin. But, we are just going to have to get use to that. When you have an young MVP QB you're going to be lucky to have good front line starters. We can forget depth. The math is simple.

Mahomes > Depth

Maybe Pittsburgh zone blitzing the whole damn game was good for us after all. We got a wakeup call.

Yesh, their starting defense made mincemeat out of our 2nd and 3rd stringers...

Darrel Williams has done nothing that I can see to keep him over Hyde and since Hyde's contract is guaranteed it doesn't even save money to cut him so...........

CJ Spiller anyone? Anyone?

His contract wasn't guaranteed and it wasn't a potential SB year.

If Hyde gets cut he gets cut but it would have been a stupid waste of $1.5MM in cap space.

They resigned themselves to re-signing him

I assume you mean Darrel as the back up, they didn't have a choice last year, Hunt was let during the season.

Hey if the biggest roster question right now is whether Hyde or Darrel Williams will be the 3rd RB or short yardage guy or whatever, I'll take it.

Whatever they decide to go with I trust Reid and company. If anything they have been able to maximize the RB position.

Yeah - what was that about? Watt and Dupree out there blitzing Henne at the end of the first half of the second preseason game? I laughed my ass off when Henne scored on them.
