Cousins, JUST THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX. How many remember Danny Woodhead? Pretty good player for us? Now......We have been looking for a WR who can be a playmaker. We are also rumored to be looking for another RB in the Draft (strange). What if a trade with the Chargers can bring us both? A 27 year old WR who is a superb RB too and fits our style of play. Problem: Austin Ekeler wants $12mm for a running back position and that position decreases in monetary value every day. The Chargers with not pay him more than $6.25. Nobody is going to pay him $12mm as a RB. But would we pay $10mm+ for a WR with a production of catches at 107 plus 5 TD's and 722 yards.? Our best WR Meyers had 67 Receptions for 840 yards and 6 TD'S and just got a $11mm contract. Oh by the way........ Ekeler had 915 yards rushing and 13 rushing TDs. James White was a pretty good RECEIVER here. 2018 was his best year with 87 receptions and 425 yards on the ground. Imagine Ekeler and Stevenson sharing carries and Ekeler splitting out in the slot on 3rd down or whenever BOB imports him there? Steveson caught quite a few too (69). Are you going to have LB trying to cover both RBs slipping out? Our QB is not a bomb thrower.He is a medium distance on time rhythm passer...... more effective with play action. See what I am trying to do here? BOB can line up a split backfield. A Defense will have to game plan for this unlike this year. Ekeler is done with the Chargers and will play out his last year. Solution: Pierre Strong Jr and perhaps our third Rounder ( we would give up a third for Hopkins...right?) for Ekeler who happens to be noted as one of the strongest backs in the NFL at 5'8" We can play Ekeler the way the Niners and the Panthers used McCaffrey (2018 and 2019 over 100 receptions). Snaps at WR and RB. OK, ridicule me gently. DW Toys Stats |
