It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I think many of us here understood the consequences of Develin's injury...As soon as he started slowly jogging off the field I knew what the worst-case scenario could be, and it ended up becoming exactly that...Why is this thread always at the top of the message board? We are 8 pages in about a FB that hasn't done much in the NFL.
What's more bizarre is how this board handled the Develin injury......crickets.
Now the FB is a hot topic?
Amazing!
I only recall you as one of the very few that understood the consequences of that injury.I think many of us here understood the consequences of Develin's injury...As soon as he started slowly jogging off the field I knew what the worst-case scenario could be, and it ended up becoming exactly that...

Same could be asked as to why you’re a bag of p*ss and vinegar on every thread you touch. Do you even enjoy this team?Why is this thread always at the top of the message board? We are 8 pages in about a FB that hasn't done much in the NFL.

No it isn't, but Danny V's still > Yake Yawnson.It matters to me because Devlin was hugely underrated for his importance in the run game and how Michel was dramatically worse without Devlin. And because Vitale isn't an elite run blocking FB but rather a wannabe pass catching Hback who can't run block well. So I think it warrants discussing where Vitale even fits (I think he doesn't) and how we are going to truly replace Devlin because it isn't Vitale.
Develin was a massive loss I called along with a very few others when it happened. You hit the nail on the head calling his loss underrated as this board surprisingly slept on it.It matters to me because Devlin was hugely underrated for his importance in the run game and how Michel was dramatically worse without Devlin.
A lot of blocking is desire to do so. I think Vitale could be a good blocking FB, if given that job. One interesting thought is, if you have Vitale, Asiasi & Keene all out there at the same time, the play calling possibilities is scary for defenses. All 3 blocking on a run play, all 3 running pass patterns, or a combination of both. Imagine having all 3 + White out there, how do you cover all 4 ? Vitale was an excellent small TE in college, he was a weapon. It'll be interesting to see if McDaniels uses him like he was used in college. Small TE who ran a 4.60 and has good hands. I'm really excited about the additions of Vitale, Asiasi & Keene.It matters to me because Devlin was hugely underrated for his importance in the run game and how Michel was dramatically worse without Devlin.

HUGE loss. the two times he missed most or all of the season due to injury, we were not the same team. Win the SB in 2014, 2015 he blows out his knee and misses all season, lose the AFCCG, he comes back to win the SB 2016. 2017, he made the Pro Bowl and we got to the SB (lost). 2018 We win it all again, 2019, he plays 2 games, misses the rest of the season, and of course, we weren't the same team.Develin was a massive loss I called along with a very few others when it happened.

I’m just giving the board a hard time as some threads seem to go on too long for random players. It’s getting into Mike Pennel territory.
We should've kept Pennel as Shelton's 2019 backup/2020 replacement.I’m just giving the board a hard time as some threads seem to go on too long for random players. It’s getting into Mike Pennel territory.
I'm looking forward to Yakob Yohnson being replaced by a better player...Develin was a huge loss, but he’s gone now, so...let’s stop romanticizing and look forward to what Vitale, Keene, Asiasi & Johnson can do.
I think it's redundant to why they have Keene and unnecessary. Keene is supposed to be this HBack hybrid moving TE chess piece. Asiasi is supposed to be an elite blocker plus catcher. The weakness is Michel without a run blocking FB
Could you show everyone the Scouting report that says that Asiasi is an elite blocker?
