Bell was really utilized out of the backfield, why can't we do it with Jacobs? Probably not until we have a backup that can effectively share some of the early down carries. Right now we are burying him with work. He’s never had to do this at a high level before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Raider Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Just spitballing here, but with Renfrow out, it would hurt to give richard some reps in the slot. Runs decent routes and gets good yac yards. Just throwing it out there. From the way it sounds, we are going to have a bunch of different players lining up there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Raider Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Wouldn't hurt. Sorry guys. I'm off today. A two month old and a dog recovering from acl surgery will do that to you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you're coming from, but I want to see Waller in the slot with Moreau playing TE. Moreau has earned more PT IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Raider Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Wouldn't mind that either. I want to see Jacobs in the passing game, but it make sense to feature Richard in that role since Jacobs is the only one that can reliably mash between the tackles.

MrOaktown_56 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 Do we have anything with Rico Gafford? Now that he's promoted, I hope he gets some snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We brought back Doss from the Jags, traded for 2 WRs and promoted Ateman before giving him a shot. If they thought he was something, he'd have been on the 53 earlier. It's probably just too close to the end of the season to bring a player unfamiliar with the playbook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think getting Jacobs in space one on one with LBS would create huge plays. Jacobs scouting report had his strength in the passing game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis hasn't been great. And I'd rather find Taiwan Jones, trade for him, and stick him back there before giving Richard another chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
