I'm still eyeing McBride late 3rd / early 4th. I'm surprised to see that he only weighed in at 209 himself, but he probably has more of the workhorse profile
Have never been in a dynasty league, so, grain of salt stuff. Citing Brian Baldinger, down the stretch they couldn't consistently establish Cook. Which became glaringly obvious in that home playoff loss to the Giants. That's besides the widely reported philosophical shift to more of an aerial attack. I like McBride, but not so much the situation. Short yardage, GL, up on the scoreboard, let's mash, closing out games... Could be wrong but that's where I think this coaching staff values a 'back like McBride. The thing we can be most confident about is them lining up in 11 personnel as often as any other team. Lighter fronts, hand it to more of a shifty scat-back type. They're high on Chandler, got him a good look & he did pretty well. O'Connell was quick to praise his performance.
If you could land Tank Bigsby instead, I'd do it. If there's an equal valued WR & on the turn you could get Chris Rodriquez, I'd do that. Two-time team captain, love those guys. 6', 230lb brick house, elite contact balance who finishes. A power back you set deep in 12 & if they can keep the runway clean to the hole, by the time the defense gets him stopped it's 4.5+ yds. Played under disciples of Sean McVay/Kyle Shanahan. So, successful NFL concepts a part of his pedigree. Oh, okay sure, too bad he's buried on their um, ... is he? There's where he's listed, that's true. But I think there's a good chance that if something happens to Robinson it'll be this guy who eventually assumes
most of his carries.
