You can’t bank on the dude dropping the ball, even if it’s a 70/30 drop chance. I think that he’s gonna draw those looks consistently, even though he sucks. I would love to upgrade there and find a burner worth more than what Schwartz offers, but out of the guys on the roster, he’s still got the most upside despite his undesirable beginnings. He’s like 22-23 years old still. I’m not ready to crucify him just yet. Especially if we’re asking him to be WR6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to sign a second tier runner though. I miss D’Ernest for situations like this. Felton may carve out a third down outside the tackles role but he can’t actually be a ZBS runner.

If we need experience, Leonard Fournette is out there. Edited August 9, 2023 by candyman93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Williamson is a fine comp as far as role, but Williamson also had more than twice as many receiving yards in his rookie season as Schwartz has in his career. There were at least flashes of ability. Don’t get me wrong, I’m in the same hopeful boat as you. I realize he’s young, speed can’t be taught and has to be respected, etc., but at some point there’s a **** or get off the pot moment and I feel like we’re there. It’s year 3 and his roster spot has to be earned. Maybe he does that by playing great on special teams, providing juice on the ground, being a deep threat, etc and that’s fine, but I personally wouldn’t keep giving him a roster spot based on potential at this point. Gotta show me something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Pretty clear that Togiai and Elliot haven’t shown anything of note. Tomlinson and Harris is a respectable 1-2 I suppose. Hurst has been productive previously, but has had a bad camp apparently. Ika will hopefully be a decent rotational guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie man Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I think thats pretty much all the money we had left I was still hopeful we might give Dalvin Cook a look. Especially with this Jerome Ford injury. I still like the idea, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
