Need to add another RB or not?

With the signing of Hunt and the need for a new center, trying to build a good running game obviously.

Hunt is a road grader. Need a stout center to do the job now. Will they be looking to keep Sanders now that they are beefing up the line, or find that power back to compliment Hubbard.

Sanders ran well behind the strong Eagles line. Couldn't do shitt behind the Panthers line. They want to take the load off Young by giving him a consistent running game.

What u got?

I've been saying it since last season when we picked Bryce.  If Bryce is your QB, you need a legit receiving RB in your RB committee. 

That was a big part of his success in college.  Our new HC did it a lot in Tampa.  You can throw to Hubbard.  But Hubbard isn't a receiving RB.  And Sanders has been horrific at it in his career.   And the short pass game (RB included) is part of the modern day run game.

Either a guy like in the 4th round or wait until the market cools down and sign a guy for cheap.  Of all the holes on the roster, RB is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the list.

AA-Ron Jones come on down

A-A-Ron is actually what Scott Fitterer claimed he was adding with Miles Sanders.  But no more FA RBs.  Build your backfield in the middle of drafts.

the Bryce Young pass attack IMO should be priority #1.  That an easy/cheap add and part (of many) of fixing Bryce.

In the draft. I wonder what that RB class will look like in the fourth round. It's deep this year and no 1st or 2nd round premier players. The run starts in the third I think and someone will be there at top of the 4th that can help. Center and WR have become the premium spots for us. Id like to see tight end or RB in the fourth.

I'm hoping either Allen or Estime will still be there at the top of the 4th. I'd snag one of those two in a heartbeat.

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
