Warhead36 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I like but don't love our backs. I think some of us overrate them a bit. Their YPC were pretty low last year. I know a lot of that was due to OL and scheme/playcalling issues, but still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defenses could also sell out completely to stop the run, because 1- they knew it was coming (top 5 run attempts) and 2- we were both bottom 3rd in passing and passing yards per attempt, so even if we weren't running, we certainly weren't going deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s believable and his price tag is probably less than $3M. It could be Josina doing a favor for his agent, but it’s not like the report is about Cook or something. Hunt is nothing special at this point (and neither are our RBs, so it’s not really that controversial of a rumor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew as much as we did that the goal was to run the ball 40 times  The YPA on rushes will naturally increase when we have a passing game worth a spit. The passing game we had last year was worth negative value.   2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor_Nutter_Butter Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Who's out if Hunt is in? Otherwise that's a pretty crowded RB group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 4 hours ago, FootballZombie said: I got 1000 other positions that need love b4 RB.  Hunt would be a misguided waste. It’s not really that dramatic. It would be a very low cost vet move, if it actually was true. It’s a so what/ok fair enough move for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 According to Keim, his sources have no idea where the Hunt rumors are coming from aside from Bieiniemy and Hunt are supposedly close. but from what he heard as of now they are not chasing Hunt. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6  PFF, not perfect but they self proclaim their O line scores translate the best among the positions they rank.  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2023-free-agent-rankings-free-agency 46. OG DALTON RISNER Contract projection: Available in PFF's free agency rankings Risner offered consistency along a Broncos offensive line that had anything but at every other position, logging almost 1,000 snaps before unfortunately missing the season finale with an elbow injury. Before going down, Risner earned his second consecutive pass-blocking grade above 70.0, with a 65.7 pass-blocking grade on true pass sets that ranked 22nd among guards. It’s a great time for Risner to hit free agency, with a short list of quality interior offensive linemen available. Risner is right at the top of that list.  118. OT ANDREW WYLIE *Signed with Commanders Contract projection: Available in PFF's free agency rankings   174.

DWinzit Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Would it be allowed for the Harris Group to have discussions now with team leaders on a game plan. I mean like on a couple player moves for right after the purchase is official? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'd have to guess there have been backchannels (for example, they could not trade future picks during this past draft as an example).
