NateDawg Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Yeah, Ford had one nice run and other than that he’s JAG backup imo. We lost our trump card with Chubb last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I like Ford but I don't view him as a feature back. We're definitely gonna need to bring someone in. Hunt might be washed at this point but he's probably our best option at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather trade a late round pick for cam Akers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger murdock Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Cam Akers and Leonard Fournett are terrible Fournett is so slow and can’t break any tackles. Akers is just below average across the board and fumbles a lot. Hunt is definitely better it’s just we got frustrated with him last year and he’s nothing special.

BetterCallSaul Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Bring in Hunt. Ford will be fine. We need to go more spread looks anyways considering who our QB is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, hunt looked slow and plodding last year, on top of that there have been several RB needy teams already this season as well as the offseason and nobody has signed him…. Either he is asking for too much money or he looks washed. You can’t replace Chubb but bringing Kareem back imo is not going to solve anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fournette and Akers are worse than Hunt though. Fournette was the bell cow back for the lowest YPC team in NFL history. Akers has fumbling and attitude problems and doesn’t do anything well At least Hunt can catch and knows the plays. 3 bad options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronsWitness Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Fournette is awful and Akers/Hunt are probably very similar with talent these days. In that case I would have to take Hunt just because of his experience/familiarity with the team, coaches and offense. He should be more plug and play while also bringing more power to compliment Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Johnson Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I just know we can't afford to abandon the run and give the keys to Watson. Whether that's bringing John Kelly up so he slam into defenders for 3 yards at a time or bring Hunt in to do that. I think Ford had some really electric runs, but we probably should be rotating him in with somebody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before last night you still had to factor in Chubb’s preferences because he is THAT good. Now you don’t. This needs to be exactly as Watson prefers, no middle ground. All that said, scheme hasn’t been the issue at all. Cooper and Moore were number 6 and 8 in the league week 1 in average separation. Guys were open last night. The issue is our QB isn’t getting them the ball and is turning it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what we are going to do different to make him comfortable that is going to become easier without Chubb's preferences since Chubb seemed pretty effective in any situation. I know our staff can usually get an effective ground game going if the QB is keeping the defense a little bit honest. I'm way more in on Stefanski than I am Watson right now, which is unfortunately not how we have used our assets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
