Could we be seeing a changing of the guard and not even know it? Goodson looks really impressive. He is probably the most pleasant surprise that we have this pre-season. I just want to know if he can really take it to the house on any given play with the explosiveness that Stewart can. If Stewart didn't have the durability questions surrounding him, would he be the decided superior back? Is Goodson even that good. He sure looked good vs. the might Raven defense.

Is Goodson worth more carries at Stewart's expense, or is he just the flavor of the pre-season (destined to fall off the radar with the impending return of the talented, but seemingly injury prone, Stewart?

No one expected this much, this quickly from a fourth round pick, but frankly he is our 3rd best running back, and its not even close. Jonathan Stewart has speed(though not as much as Goodson obviously), but more importantly, a tremendous amount of power when he runs behind his pads. Goodson will most likely just be subbed in the game to run screens(and it will be horribly predictable, and will probably be shut down in the regular season).

Note: The Giants 3 headed rushing attack was more like a EARTH, WIND, and a little bit of smoke. Bradshaw barely saw the field last year, and it was only when Ward was ineffective. I don't really expect us to balance the 3 runningbacks well at all, will probably be a two headed monster with the third popping up for 1-2 plays a game to try to generate a spark(aka a screen to Goodson) for the offense.

offensively he is what is going to put us over the top. he won't be used often, imo, but when he is big things will happen.

of course he could be used pretty heavily throughout the game...just rotate out the three.

defenses are going to get pretty worn out dealing with these three.

fox will go with the hot hand and all three will be given shots. williams first, stewart second, and goodson third. whoever gets the best results will see the most carries.

i don't see this as pushing one guy out. it's more that the team that ran it super effectively down everyone's throats last year is going to run it even more.

last year the ravens ran the ball 592 times i think. i would like to see us hit 600 next year. with these three we could do some real damage.

One thing I saw that they did with Goodson is lining him up to the outside at receiver. I could see something like Reggie Bush with the Saint's. Kind of a utility player, who can possibly bring a spark from Running Back to Wide Receiver to Kick/Punt Returner.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
