Anyone still want to defend Mike Goodson?

People claim we can replace Williams/Stewart with Mike Goodson, by what he has shown this season. Granted he has had some nice games, good production behind a banged up O-Line. But IMO his lack of ability to hold onto the ball exceeds his ability to make plays. In plain english, his turnovers hurt us far more than his break out plays.

So far against the Falcons today:

2 Fumbles, and 1 idiotic catch for a loss. I mean really, why go after the ball 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage? Bat it down!

He has never had success holding onto the ball. He has excellent break away speed, he is putting on some weight and it should make him more durable between the tackles. But in all honesty he will be our 3rd down back next season unless there is an injury. D-Will will be resigned (don't think we don't have the cap space to do so, and if you think JR is cheap because of this one season then you are clueless).

So what are your thoughts everyone?

Just like you don't want people to base wanting him to be our #2 by just this season, you can't base not wanting him on one half of football. His fumbling problem had been better for a large portion of the season.

I don't have a horse in the race. I honestly have no preference in whether he becomes our #2 behind Stew or stays at the #3.

Mike Goodson has been solid all year, damn give him a break for one game.

I agree has given us some good (even great) production in a terrible season. But his fumbling problems have been the basis of why I feel moving forward he can't be a top 2 HB. I like the kid, I really do. I don't base my opinions off this one game, it's been a problem all his career. I know he has gotten better at controlling the ball, but he is unfolding this game and it's drawing some doubt into my mind (I'm sure I'm not the only one).

honestly Williams is the only back on the team that can do it all. And make something out of nothing this year when we sucked terribly he was still averaging over 4 yards a carry.

If he was still playing he would be back over 5 again.

No doubt about it. Williams needs a new deal (and I believe he gets one). There is no way we grab Luck in the draft without giving him a top 5 HB behind him.

goodson makes plays out of nothing, but he can't hold on to the ball.

williams makes plays out of nothing, but he can't stay healthy.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
