Updated Depth Chart... some interesting things note..

This takes a too-narrow view of the RB position. Helu is by far our best pass-catching back and a strong blocker in blitz pickup. Keeping him on the roster is a necessity, he's the clear-cut #2.

To be honest, I think he's been pretty sloppy this summer in pass blocking.

Yeah everything I have read has basically been that none of our options have been any good in pass protection other than Royster

BTW...I don't get why pass protection for RBs is so hard. But I never played the position so what do I know?

Some of it is just pure physics: a 220 lb. guy trying to stop a charging 290 lb. guy. It takes a good understanding and execution of leverage.

But what do I know. I'm still trying to figure out how pro hoops players can suck at free throws.

Seems like an opportunity to bring by a certain Alumni and have him teach proper RB blocking.

Portis can't be too busy with other things, right?

s omar brown was cut by the ravens. everyone in the organization seemed to be high on him and the cut came as some what of a surprise.

he has been with the team for a few years so im guessing they cut him now instead of waiting until the 53 to give him a chance to sign on with a new team asap.

i hope we add a vet FS to play behind clark and who can step in and play SS if rambo isnt ready.

I would love to have Portis on the staff. He's one of my all time favorite NFL players.

He not only knew how to pass protect but he had the desire to be the best at it. Does any of these other guys have the desire to be a good pass protector? I don't think Portis can give any of them his desire.

I'm not satisfied with any of the backup RB's beyond Helu.

Chris Thompson is supposed to be explosive but he hasn't proven it. He's pretty much useless between the tackles and he can't pass protect.

Royster has had a good preseason but we all know that he is pedestrian.

Redd looks like he has potential but he's not ready.

Seastrunk is very raw.

Other than Helu, I really wouldn't mind if the Skins cut all of them and picked up somebody else.

Well, if the Merriweather suspension doesnt change we will see Rambo starting. Gruden said that in his press conference.

With what he has shown this camp/preseason and his endorsement by the coaching staff and players...he deserves it. This BM suspension silver lining could be Rambo emergence as a servicable safety. We just dont have alot of depth behind either guys, need to add someone imo.
