Hate to say it but Leblanc and Richards are the two I think most on the roster bubble.

 

[Love The Drake]

Is that your argument for why he should make the team?
He is small and no one wanted to draft him of course QBs lick their chops when he is on the field.

I think hes a try hard football player BB loves those guys no he shouldnt make it over Jones and Roberts.
But I bet he will be on someones 53 or practice squad and I would give up Richards for bim without thinkjng twice.

 

[manxman2601]

Not really

He played well, he got a little lost in the 4Q but had played well before then.

 

[Marqui]

I think we have the 2 best punt returners in the league in Edelman+Jones.

 

[TBR]

Roberts is a stud in my opinion hes shown great coverage Technique and speed he should make it.

I prefer him, his size and speed over LeBlanc. Not a fan of midget corners.

If he is 5'8 and everyone targets him because he can't cover no one will want him.

Jones will have 2 or more PR TDS this year. Book it.

 

[Ring 6]

I hope he makes it over White. Unless White is getting receptions, he offers nothing.

Passing game is whites purpose on the team

If you are playing against scrubs and the QB believes your man is open 11 times you didn't play well regardless of how many of the 11 get completed by the scrubs.

Exactly. So when he's not involved in that he offers nothing. Foster can provide White's role as a receiver and may be a better runner.

He wasn't just playing against scrubs. He played in the first half.

"We" will need to see his blocking in game conditions. You know how important BB considers that.

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

If healthy and under Brady, I still think this team can win out even if 0-4 start. Though, I still say we start 2-2.

I agree that LeBlanc started to unravel late with the all-scrubs team. Wild speculation time...any chance that reflects the lack of veterans directing the backfield? Could LeBlanc have good coverage skills but poorer decision-making/diagnostic skills?

Yes we will. But White wasn't too hot at that tonight.

Passing game RB is a critical part of our offense.

He probably played more than any DB in the game. Was probably tired. The plus on LeBlanc pre-draft was his experience and smarts.

 

[Ring 6]

Ok so getting targeted by scrubs and others because your man is open is not good.

Seriously saying he can't play 60 minutes in a preseason game and thats an excuse???

 

[manxman2601]

And both can function in that role. As Deus says we'll need to see what Foster can do as a blocker but if he matches White there, I think he's the better player. White in the game telegraphs a pass. It would be better to a more balanced back.
