It's the scheme being run, not just him. See this a lot in preseason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh Sims is better at this point in pass protection. The less talented runner but he is a quality pass catcher and blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McNichols and Barber can contribute effectively on STs, then I can see us carrying 5 once Doug is back. I think it would be very short sighted to cut Sims in order to keep Rodgers. As much as I like Rodgers, I just think he's the odd man out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I like Rodgers, I just think he's the odd man out. IDK, still think Rodgers is safe. With him carrying the full load the way he did last year the coaching staff remembers those kind of things, especially with the projected starter being suspended... I think Rodgers, Sims, McNichols and Barber make the roster with Martin being on the suspension to start the year. When Martin gets back, I think it'll likely be one of Barber or Sims who gets cut. No need to carry 5 RBs on the active roster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game pretty much confirmed that. Agreed, he's got talent but he needs to really refine his technique and footwork in particular... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces22wild Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I don't see how we can keep five running backs. Once Doug is back he will be taking over the lead spot. Rodgers is the vet of the group if something ever happens to Doug. He ran tough between the tackles last year. Just scooped up Jeremy so I don't see him being let go. Really like how Barber runs but I bet it will be between him and Sims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravishingone Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I believe when Martin is on suspension, he won't be on the 53 man roster. Barber is a very good runner, but if he can't pass protect he won't play. If they believe McNichols can make it to the practice squad that might allow Barber to make the roster. I think in Miami it will be Rodgers, Sims, and McNichols. Right now, McNichols looks tentative, not surprising as a rookie, but I believe long term he has the best overall skill set after Martin.

If anything we should see if we can get a late pick for Sims IMO hes just a waste of a roster spot, Barber is better, and i dont want to cut ties with McNichols just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I like Rodgers, I just think he's the odd man out. I think it's always been a big question. Like @ravishingone said, we'll keep Quizz, Sims, Barber, and McNichols the first three weeks while Dougie is suspended. Licht has said multiple times that we don't have to make a decision until week four. And I'm fairly certain this is the decision he was talking about. Luckily we've still got five weeks to figure out who's the odd man out, because I can't imagine we keep all five. Especially when we'll probably be utilizing extra LBs and DBs for special teams.
