Yeah, in my projected cuts at RB, I had Fozzy the odd man out for the reasons Jeremy listed above.  He just looked the most average and unimpressive of the group, and Todman's speed/quickness makes Fozzy fairly expendable, as that was his role.

That being said, I have no ties to any player at the position really.  I wouldn't be broke up with any decision they made there, but I feel the best group is Stew, CAP, Todman, Wegher.  I think Rivera's attachment to Fozzy will make their decision very difficult though.

lol at Fozzy will definitely clear waivers but weghers won't. Weghers is almost, just almost as overrated as Lee Ward was on these boards. Fozzy proved to be a very useful player last year. He was the only RFA signed to a 2 year deal and was a captain last night with Klein and Jansen. It would be such a stupid decision to cut him for Wegher who hasn't proved a thing against first stringers. 

On this, we agree.

I think Fozzy played only sparingly last night because he's safe, and I agree he should be. He's arguably the best screen pass runner we have.

The fight for the final RB spot was between Wegher and Todman, and I think Todman won.

And while it is very possible Wegher gets picked up on waivers, I don't buy that it's an absolute lock.

yup couldn't agree more. Fozzy is the perfect 3rd down complement out of the backfield. He's the best receiving back and has a resume  in the NFL. I would be furious if Fozzy is cut for Wegher.

Big mistake if we cut Wegher IMO.  Dude has the physicality and skills to be a starter in the league.  If he gets a step or two before contact, he is getting 3+ yards every carry.  He gets low and drives forward with his legs, plus he has the vision to pop it outside and the speed to make the corner.  Plus he seems to be doing good on ST coverage. 

Todman is fast and a great scat-back but he needs space to really get going.  While he's perfect for the random screen pass or RB draw, he's not even close to an every down back.  Same with Fozzy, but Todman shows a lot more burst and speed. 

Here's to hoping we keep 4 RBs: J Stew, CAP, Wegher, and Todman.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
