Quote:They have one third of the personnel equation in Ivory but he's been injured basically all year. The other two thirds are the line and Yeldon.  Yeldon may not be the ideal 2nd back in a 2-back attack, but he'd do pretty well behind a decent run-blocking line. He's had to evade penetration behind the line of scrimmage on so many of his runs this season it's ridiculous. 

 

If they can upgrade RT and LG in the offseaon the current backs could do real damage. If they upgrade  those positions AND add a stud RB they'll be even more dangerous. 

 

I'm not really sure what your point is besides you don't like Yeldon and you want the Jags to have their own Elliot or Peterson-like bell-cow back.  

But  - so do fans of 26 other teams. I mean, everybody would love to have that. 

 

 

I basically disagree with everything you said regarding our current RB's. What I completely agree with is when you said if we upgrade our O-Line and add a stud RB, we'd be a dangerous team. That's been my point all along. I do want the Jags to have a bell-cow RB like Elliott or Peterson. I believe we could have that too. This draft will have an immense amount of talent at that position. I see 3-4 guys who could be very, very good premier runners in the NFL and we should be in position to get one of them and upgrade the O-Line as well. What's wrong with that? I don't know why some people think this is such a bad idea? To me, by upgrading the running game as a whole, we make the offense much better. We can be more balanced, take up more time controlling the ball, we take pressure off of the QB and limit the amount of throws Bortles has to make as well. Less pressure and less throws means less mistakes in the passing game. It seems like a win-win to me.
