Honestly, and I'm a fan of Dwelley but is it really versatility when you just play that position but aren't good at it? Like our running game was horrendous for the most part when Dwelley was playing FB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I can lay the blame for a crap running game at the feet of a split end learning a new position on the fly while missing both quality tackles .

Does he get the entire blame? Of course not but Dwelley isn't a good blocker yet period. That's why is it saying much that he has versatility? You can technically put Dante Pettis at TE, but that damn sure doesn't mean he is versatile or will do a good job there lol. It's going to be interesting to see who they go with as the 3rd TE. Usually that player is usually a run blocking TE, but that won't be the case here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting blown up a play or two, but I don't remember calling for the dude's head or anything while he was playing. Given what he was dealing with, it was okay. He won't ever be Toilolo or anything, I get that, but I don't think that he was bad enough to where that isn't a benefit for his evaluation. If they want strictly someone whos' going to stay inline and block, sure, it makes sense that they will go elsewhere, but didn't we also carry 4 last year, or am I mistaken? So my guess is that if we want that, he'll make the roster and they'll carry a fourth for that purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFF had Dwelley as the worst run blocker on the team by far during the stretch he replaced Juice and that matched the eye test. He was getting little to no push and was getting blown up in spots. And really that is to be expected since he's learning how to block. While discussing this, it completely slipped my mind that Woerner is on the team and he almost certainly will make the roster. And obviously he IS a good run blocker that will be able to play some FB in case Juice gets hurt. Hokit can be called up at any point with the new roster rules as well.

It could also be that he's not a positive at all and he's just been exposed to someone who has it. If they haven't pulled him off in a few days, I think we will know where we stand lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bad feeling warner tested positive. Azeez would be the next man up. He flashed early, but definitely had some struggles later on in the year. I have a really bad feeling about week 1 Edited August 31, 2020 by N4L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we started seeing people drop prior to any tackling with Deebo, Richie, Hurd, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
