CWood21 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 1 hour ago, MrBobGray said: Yeah, I've seen a few people who seem caught off-guard by this, and that seems weird to me. I 100% expected Carson to get snaps before Williams, though I thought they'd at least activate him. I think I said on here I expected 5-8 touches where you were pleasantly ok with him being on the field, and that's about how it shook out. Carson isn't a bad player, he's just the kind of guy the last CBA killed. Solid vet, can eat snaps and not be a liability, but just no reason not to give a dirt cheap rookie that job because he has nothing special about him. They tried to with Dex but he's not ready, so Carson gets to hang around a bit. He'll be out of the NFL in a year or two and nothing will really be lost, but my heart goes out to those type of players anyway. That being said, no matter what happens this year he's gone next because it's hard to imagine Dexter won't at least be ready enough to be RB3, and he's just a better talent. Dexter has some special to his ability to cut at speed, he's not quite Aaron Jones but he's got real ability at it. He's also a decisive one cut runner with acceleration, and those are two damn good talents together in this system. He'll get his shot, it's just not this year. They kept Dexter Williams on the 53 man roster for 2020. Not 2019. Tra Carson for as aggressively pedestrian as he is, he's better than Dexter Williams in 2019.

Shanedorf Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 1 hour ago, MrBobGray said: it's hard to imagine Dexter won't at least be ready enough to be RB3 That's fair He has to learn pass pro well enough to play in an uptempo offense adjusted by AR at the LOS. That's a tall order for many of these guys, Lacy struggled early on tooAlso Noted: Dexter got chewed out by MLF in TC for a mental error and he's been marginalized since then "LaFleur changed up the flow of practice by starting with a competitive redzone period of 11-on-11 to try and improve the energy. The first play rookie running back Dexter Williams had a blown assignment and caused LaFleur, who is normally calm and collected to yell and replace Williams with a new running back in the drill. "It wasn't like it was a play call coming out of left field. It was something scripted. When we get out there and we don't know what we are doing and have a busted assignment, it irritates me, it doesn't make sense to me," LaFleur said."

That'll show him for getting drafted, and being in commercials! He's probably my least favorite player in the entire league. I'd still tip 20%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
