If a see a guy become available I’m adding him. Darryl doesn’t bring much. Hyde is meh. You could do worse as a 3rd back but I’d be looking to add another RB. We would still be fine when Damien goes down. But Darwin and Hyde doesn’t make me feel great. I like Darwin a lot but he won’t have it as easy when facing a first string D. Not a 3 day guy. [Reply]
Start the guy who shined in 2 preseason games over the guy who kicked major ass for the last half of the 2018 regular season and playoffs? Retarded thread. Williams is the starter until he gets injured or Darwin proves he's better in the real shit. [Reply]
Thompson is going to always have some trouble as a pass blocker due to his size. Yes he's strong, but a linebacker that outweighs him by 50 pounds with a head of steam is going to toss him aside and crush Mahomes.
Williams is the more complete back. Thompson will be a weapon, just not an every down back. [Reply]
I'd roll with Damien at starter, Darrel at backup, and Darwin rounding out the stable.
Hopefully they all produce well and we can keep a stable thing going. Something like 50% of snaps to Dame, 30% to Darr and 20% to Winny. Maybe 40%, 30%, 30%, idk. [Reply]

Exactly the case. It was even on display last night. He had trouble even when part of a double team in pass protection. [Reply]
DT carried up the gut on one play last night and got up really slow. His size was obvious from that one play. Need to rein in the expectations on the kid and just use him as 3rd down / change of pace back for awhile. [Reply]
