RB3 is Who?


  • Total voters
    78
You have it right.

Number of targets is the only and true barometer of a WR. Not the number of snaps which is totally foolish. In that scenario the WR is penalized when almost 50% of the offensive plays are runs and the WR is running a route as a decoy or blocking. Furthermore, Maye throws at a rate of 72%, so 28% of his throws were not completed. Using snaps, if the WR is on the field during a pass to Douglas thats incomplete, he gets penalized.

Hollins was WR3 last season and is still WR3 until Douglas or Williams takes over.

Hollins and AJ Brown are the only current NE WRs to catch TD passes in the Super Bowl and Conference Championship.

I have Douglas as the #3 in the sense that he is the slot guy and that he will see the field more than Hollins/Williams in 3 WR sets.
 
Apparently the Winners in this poll are those who voted for RLKAG
I think the 67% get credit for RB “3B”.

Lazar said he was 100% the 54th player. “ His waiver was only sent in 15 minutes before the suspense, and well after the 55th/ 2d to last cut or group of cuts.” ‘ He was in the 53 until the trade made them 54. if they had not done that trade Lan would have been on the 53.
 
Last reply on this.
It was not “every comment”.
It was one comment.
He needs to improve his pass blocking to be on the field more.
This isn’t a secret, it’s widely known.
We get it, you’re a Buckeye fan and you are having a hard time being objective.

A prime example of where things end up if you don't respect the three-deep rule...
 
Don't sleep on Corey Kiner unless a RB is special: they're a dime a dozen. That said: Corey Kinder plays Bigger than His size: and runs more North/South than East/West. I think he's going to be sneaky good for us this year: his catching is not bad either. He's not a finished product but he has a lot to work with.

There are a dozen (or more) RBs I'd rather have than this nobody. And that's not even taking the ****ing ******ed trade cost into account.

It's a 2028 7th, that is as invaluable as a draft pick can get.
7th rd picks seldom make an NFL roster.
Jam was a 7th rounder and was cut, which is the most likely outcome for a 7th rounder.
They really gave up as close to nothing as you could.
I would rather a young guy with fresh legs than an old retread.
I want to see him play before I pass judgement on him.
 
Don't know if the guy(s) Ray Lewis killed would agree with that...
I’d think they would rather we acknowledge RLKAG than just ignoring it. It’s not like we are approving of it.

I think he could be a decent player. He’s a tweener, not as big as Rhamondre but plays big. I suspect they saw enough in his game film, as a blocker and also on special teams.

He’ll be there game one if Henderson can’t go, but they’ll probably call up Larison as well. If it was Rhamondre who was injured, they’d call up Haskins.

If nobody else wanted Boutte then getting anything for him was a net positive. If they didn’t find a trade partner they would likely have cut him outright.
 
Kiner might be okay - probably better than Miller (at this rookie stage that he's at).

The question is - sounds like Hendo will be inactive (hasn't practiced in 2 weeks), and feels very unlikely they'll run this game with only 2 RB's - one being brand new to the team. So already calling up a PS-er? If so, I assume that will be Larison. But who gets knocked down to PS? Maybe Arkin or Canada?

Agreed, even if long term Miller becomes a better player, rookies often stink in pass protection. Rhamondre, Damian Harris… they all needed a year in the system to figure it out.

Probably a lineman.

Larison would just be activated for the game, not elevated from the PS. That’s a standard part of the rules for constructing the weekly active list. And then he is still on the PS automatically reverts after the game. Why would someone from the 53 have to go down to the PS? Did I miss some other roster move?

I assume it will be Haskins because he has actually blocked an NFL LB. I think fans tend to underestimate protection.

It would be the same for any PS player.
