In hindsight, it seems logical that either Chris Rodriguez or Jeremy McNichols would be the odd guy out, and McNichols offers more on Special Teams. Barring an injury to either Ekeler or JCM, it may require Rodriguez to either displace McNichols or the Commanders carry 4 RBs on gameday...

Got mine today as well. Outstanding quality.

Yeah, nobody saw this one coming.

Whittington is in year 4 with Oregon, but he is in his sixth season after spending his first two seasons at Western Kentucky. Yep. This was a full RBBC against Montana State Week 1. Whittington led them with a mere 10 carries. A pair of freshman 4-star recruits are ones to keep an eye on...

Last week, Hughes had just one carry for two yards (and one reception for four more yards). One carry. Very disappointing. The suggestion that Hughes will be the focal point of the offense may not be based on current information.

Hot mess might have been a bit too harsh, but I had hopes that Miami could progress, and they have not. Tanner Conner is definitely intriguing, but I don't think he represents a very well-planned contingency. I was also excited about Jalin Conyers who ended up on IR. I would have liked to...

Sellers didn't have a very good first half, but he improved significantly as the game progressed. At QB, I thought Rocco Becht was a clear winner. I was concerned whether he could replicate what he did the last couple of seasons with Higgins and Noel. He still looks really good. He is very...

Woody may give you a Chubb, but it sounds like Chubb doesn't give you a Woody. Did Woody pass the eye test? I felt like he was decent, but not much more.

Bad O-line and no clear cut starter. Chubb gets the first crack at the job, but expectations are very low. Woody Marks is at least somewhat intriguing, as he could carve out a lasting role, but he hasn't shown he is starter worthy. Pierce brings younger and healthier legs than Chubb, but not...

I found the video of the injury! :laugh: In all seriousness, however, this is no surprise. Waller spent a year out of football, he turns 33 this month, and the last time he played in the NFL, he didn't look all that good. Sadly, the Dolphins don't appear to have any contingency plan at Tight...

I stopped watching MLB, and it was easily my favorite sport. They ruined their own brand. I fear the NFL may be going down that same path.

Fair argument. I personally have no dog in this fight. I think when or if Najee returns to full strength, he will be heavily used. The split may largely be determined by how each runner looks. The Chargers expected Gus Edwards to have a larger role last season, too. Do you expect something...

Fair question. I don’t know that there is a great difference in preparation, but Harbaugh seems like someone who will seize any advantage. As I say, however, this is pure conjecture on my part. I have zero insider information. Even if Najee is active, I don’t expect him to take on a heavy...
