What Do You Think About Getting Isaiah Crowell RB from Browns?

Shula's offense has also been figured out. There are many stats that can be utilized to determine how effective a running back is. Find the stat that shows the number of times he is hit behind the line of scrimmage per opportunity. Find the mean number of yards BEFORE the line of scrimmage that he is hit, add that number to his YPC, and you get his true YPC. 

in 2016, with a YPC of 3.8, he was in the top 5 in forced missed tackles. That tells me that he was being met within 3.8 yards of the line of scrimmage more than most other running backs. 

Just going by the eye test he has lost lot of explosivesness. If you factor in with that defensive players have gotten faster it’s gonna be hard for him to be a true cowbell. 

I think he can have a reduced role for short yardage & pass protection, but Panthers need to draft a power running back like Chubb.

Look at how much explosiveness he lost.

Draft class is looking pretty decent at running back . 

- Nick Chubb (had a terrible national championship so he might drop to us)

- Bo Scarborough

- Rashaad Penny (lead college this season in total rushing yards)

- Sony Michel 

- Royce Freeman

- Ronald Jones

- Darrius Guice (unlikely to get him, should go in top 20 picks)

- Damien Harris (8 yards a carry WTF?)

- Josh Adams  He averaged 7.8 yards per carry for 2,248 yards with 23 touchdowns, plus made 19 receptions for 135 yards and two scores
 

I'd be very happy with Adams , Scarborough,  Freeman in the mid rounds.  Chubb or Guice in R2 would be steals. 

Either of the UGA backs in the second would be great. But i'm afraid the same thing will happen that always happens- a couple of teams will draft a position, everybody else will get antsy, and there will be a run.

Just an FYI but Damien Harris said he was returning to Bama for his senior season, 2 days ago.

If anything, I want Michele. That dude is going to tear up the NFL. I would also be okay with a permanent move of CMC to receiver if we could draft both UGA running backs. 

[WOW!!]

Lj Scott would be a better fit for us in later rounds..

Yeah that’d be dope! I hope we draft 2 rbs back to back in the 2nd round after drafting a rb top 10 last year! What franchise wouldn’t want to do that?

I’m convinced some of y’all don’t know football

Didn't Crowell have major character issues in College?   I recall this being the major reason he went undrafted.

I’d nut

I see it this way: How many RBs on second contracts are ever a good value?  Few.  Why?  RBs statistically hit the wall at age 27-28.  Most second contracts go to 26-year olds who want multi-year deals.
