Rtnldave Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Isn't T. Austin a WR? Why are you listing him as a RB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has nearly as many rushes as he does receptions for his career. Last season was 13/59 rec to runs. He's going to be Lance Dunbar/Mr. Jet Sweep for this offense.

resilient part 2 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Any chance Taco or D Lawrence can play at RDE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think you want to move Lawrence from where he has looked his best though. And Taco could probably still ride out the right side in a rotation. Unlike Lawrence he hasnt really locked himself in anywhere with his performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D82 Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 He left off Taco by accident, but...he's got a point. Lot of talent at DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_OutLaw7 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 With Randy and Armstrong, I think one of the biggest benefits will be Crawford can re-join the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, Taco's quickest path to making an impact is to have him line up as a defensive tackle as a pass rusher. We've seen long-armed guys like Justin Tuck and Greg Hardy just punk slow-footed and short-armed guards. I think that's the model we should look at for Taco.

Whatever we can do to maximize his skillset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawfords best impact has been as a rotation guy at 3 spots. Because of his mix of upper body power, leg push and jump off at the snap, he can create surprise against different OLs at any time. His best use was this past season, where he would open drives at right end, spell Lawrence at left end, and get a healthy dose of snaps from undertackle. While his stats dont show it, moving him around allowed him to be a disruptive player who played both the run and pass equally well. I think they would be foolsh to play him exclusively inside.

I like Crawford and believe he is a good player. Just not fond of him being our starting RE pr making $9 mill a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes smart, rarely beaten by a runner, understands what blocking scheme is unfolding before him.and is always playing downhill. For 9 a year, you kind of wantbetter stats maybe. But what he doesnt provide in sacks and TFLs he makes up for with his versatility,.leadership, and frequent disruption of the play. Hes a good football player. Id pay that 9mil a year anytime.

If we are to be limited, we need to ensure that we are at least elite at that level. Cutting Dez and losing Witten both hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying exclusively at any one spot. Crawford can rotate. But he can present a better rush (and rotation) from the inside than having to start at the outside. Depth is improved.
