Quote:With Storm virtually off the roster, I'm starting to like Bernard's chances to make it as their 5th RB. The thing is, Olsen predicates his offense around being able to pound the ball up the middle, and that's something Pierce does well. With Pierce and Toby pounding away, and with Yeldon, Grant and Shoelace picking up the fancy big yards, they should be able to do some damage. If Olsen is able to run the ball, everything falls into place with his passing game.

That's why we drafted yeldon for that role though, he hasn't got breakaway speed to consistently get the 20+ runs how he's a strong workhorse who can consistently get you 4/5 yards pc.


How quickly he can change direction will get him a few long runs but generally wouldn't expect to many from him.


I expect Pierce to be gone by pre season.
