• I feel like Donnel Pumphrey looked a little more shift than I’m used to seeing. I said that once earlier this offseason. I’m still very skeptical, but I’m cautiously encouraged.

With Ajayi, Clement and Sproles set for this year, I'm rooting for Pump to turn a corner and set himself up for a productive 2019. If he can take over the Sproles role eventually, that would be ideal. But the progress of Clement and most likely a high RB draft pick next year will make him all but inconsequential.

I'd rather have Smallwood as a 4th RB

He is the most complete RB of the ones battling for the 4th RB spot, but he has to prove he can stay healthy.

Looks like Staley has taken a special interest in Jones, but not sure about him either.

He struggled with vision and fumbles (8 of them in 2 years) in Washington and got waived from the Colts who aren't exactly stacked at RB.

Then, there is Josh Adams who hasn't practiced yet cause of some injury, but if we are gonna keep a bigger back as the RB4 I think I'd rather it be Adams.

He's younger than Jones and can at least hold onto the ball.

As much as I'm glad Sproles is back, I hope it doesn't make Pederson get cute again like year one forcing the Sproles package on the offense.

The one positive from his injury last season was the commitment to the Running game. Pounding the rock! Not the forced (IMO) passes to Sproles on 3rd and shorts.

Somebody tell me about Matt Jones. I heard a lot of good things about Adams after we signed him following the draft, but haven't heard a thing about Matt Jones until the past week or so.

It all changed when it became apparent Duce really, really likes Matt Jones.
