I wish we had more players with the unique skill set of being fast and being on a roster.

Quote:First off.. 4th/5th string players are on rosters for a reason. It's called depth.


And yes. Sproles was the 3rd string RB for a reason. Two of them actually.


Their names are Tomlinson and Turner.


Also... You do realize what you just said... Right? He wasn't used even as a situational player until a few years into his career... Namely when Turner went to the Falcons, and he became the RB 2...


I don't even have to argue any more... You're now arguing my point for me...


Thanks!
Sorry, but players like Pierce are brought in for depth. Players like Grant aren't brought in to run between the tackles they are brought in because they bring something unique to the roster that the organization hopes to be able to exploit.

 

Funny how someone who was supposedly held back by being buried on the depth chart behind LT made his name playing as a complimentary back along side LT. Obviously it wasn't his position on the depth chart but the inability of the coaching staff to figure out how to create his own role in the offense. I know, pretty heady stuff for you here.

 

Also it is pretty comical that you think Sproles was used as a traditional RB. The play calling was completely different when he was in the backfield. They called plays especially designed for him to get him into space where he could do damage. Sproles ended his career with more receiving yards than rushing. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that doesn't happen with traditional RB playcalling.

 

It's funny watching you try to argue when you don't even have a clue as to how Sproles was used in the first place Laughing

You... Should really just quit trying... You aren't helping your cause at ALL.
Yeah, it's not unique. Everyone is the fastest guy on the roster.

Yeah he is schooling me by saying coaches are dumb for trying  to create plays to utilize players on the roster.

I bet the coaching staff wishes he had more skills too, but they don't have much choice but to work with the players who are actually on the roster.

 

I mean how dare the coaching staff try to make the most out of what they are given. It takes a lot of gall to try to develop a player and find something he can do well. The nerve of these guys.

Mmkay I'm going to give you some help here. Most coaches don't develop a package of plays for their 5th RB. Most teams don't even have a 5th RB.

Let me give you some help here it seems your memory is a little lacking. Caldwell put the guy on the roster for the sole purpose of trying to figure out a way to develop him into a weapon.

 

Are you really so dense as to complain about the coaches following the plan that began with putting Grant on the roster in the first place?

 

Here's the real kicker. If Bradley didn't design plays to try to utilize this project player he was assigned, I guarantee you would be one of the first people in line to whine about the fact that he never tried to utilize Grant.

Good lord, no, he was put onto the roster to return kicks. Stop it. He was buried on the RB depth chart. Let's design plays where Nick Marshall is covering #1 WRs because otherwise he'll never develop into a weapon.

In the touchback era no one is put on a roster just to return kicks anymore. He was put on the roster with the intention of finding out other ways to utilize his speed.

 

They were mixing him into the offense in the preseason too. You must have a short memory if the idea of finding ways to use Grant is suddenly news to you.

Quote:McCray sucks worse, bro...

 

He was given starting reps in practice and a chance to prove himself. He ended up back on the bench.

 

You can try to pretend he is better than he is. It's not going to get him off the pine.
Lol, have you finally figured out McCray>Gratz?  Or do you still think Gratz should be starting over McCray?

Better at what? Ridding the pine?

 

Because that is the only thing he has proven he is better at.

Most teams don't have a RB with true legit 4.2 speed. If they do you best believe there are a couple designed plays for that RB.

No what is really sad are the people who think the job should be just given to the guy who has failed at every opportunity to beat out the guy they are wanting to replace.

Lets get this straight. We have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE NOR PROOF as to what happened with Mccray. He played lights out last year and has "ridden the pine" this year. What happened? Only the coaches know.

 

Anyone automatically assuming its because of regression of skill is just throwing out factless BS. 


Can't wait to see whats next.

The fact that he struggled in preseason means nothing. The fact that he was given a chance a few weeks ago with first team reps and ended up back on the bottom of the depth chart means nothing.

 

It must be the mean ole coaches just picking on poor wittle McCray.

When Gus finally forgives McCray for what he did, dont come on here with a 180 and act like its the right decision to start McCray over Gratz

Yeah, i think it was something behind closed doors. Hopefully he has forgiven him and he gives him his spot back. When McCray came in last night not 1 pass was thrown his way.
