RB Calhoun Works With 2nd Unit (1 Viewer)

Rookie third-round pick Brian Calhoun, who was No. 3 in minicamp, was working with the second unit in both the 9-on-7 and team drills. Arlen Harris is No. 3 and Artose Pinner (who made some nice runs in his limited role) is No. 4.

interesting, nice find

I own both KJ and Calhoun, and I'm very glad. Calhoun will compete for the job, especially in that offense, and so KJ really has to produce. It's now or never for him.

Jones and calhoun...could be cheap.

what kind of long-term value you see for Calhoun? possible starter in a year or two? I mean, assuming that KJ does nothing to hand the job to him.

Id say all that has to happen for Calhoun to become the starter is for Jones to play like he did last year, in that case I'd say about 50%-70% that Jones repeats from last season

did we not really know, no matter what came out of Martz' mouth in OTA, that there is no reason that career 2.9 ypc, Arlen harris would be the backup?

Well, Calhoun's leapfrogging of Pinner and Bryson is no small matter. They were Millen's love slaves last year. For a rookie to beat them out before training camp begins speaks volumes about what the coaching staff thinks about him. With KJ's status very much in question, Calhoun could have massive upside in that system. He's such a stallion in terms of his receiving ability that he would thrive, but he does need to work on his blocking.

I wasn't aware of his status in question. Think i've heard time and time again, "KJ is our starting RB"....... Explain this please.

I think this is the year when my boy Pinner gets cut. Where could he end up?

Calhoun is a guy that could be a real steal. Jones has all the talent to be a beast in Martz offense but Calhoun has the kind of talent and ability to keep Jones off the field. A story to watch for sure.
