Quote:Agreed on the oline part. It doesn't really matter who is in the backfield for us right now when they are getting hit behind the LOS almost every time. Yeldon has shown promise when he gets a little bit of space. I think Linder and Cann will continue to get better but we need a home run at LG. Whether that comes in the draft or FA, it has to happen for the running game to succeed.


If we are in a position to draft Fournette (Top 5-7 pick), I would assume we have much bigger problems to fill through the draft.


If we can sign a high level LG and are drafting in the low-mid teens, I would not mind drafting Dalvin Cook. He is an absolute game changer.

With the players we have, we SHOULD be able to run the ball this season. This would be fixed with an OC change or a completely different scheme. Parnell, Cann, Linder, and Beachum are supposed to be good run blockers... very confusing as to why it hasn't been consistent.


I like Yeldon a lot, and I like Ivory. We ultimately need to stop running Ivory on stretch/zone plays. That is Yeldon's strength, and the offensive line seems to be built to run the power game, not the finesse running game.
