Schweitzer now injured
Hip injury. Hope it's nothing serious. He's underrated IMO, and can play 3 positions. I could see him start over Trai Turner if healthy.

I think we'll have plenty of other - better options for Special Teams.

He's better than William "toast" Jackson.

LOL, no way. I know he was a popular guy here, but there's a reason why he was released, rode the pine in Houston, and has now been released again in the first cuts.

Crazy how Robinson has went from a questionable pick by lots of us (all fans/analyst, not just here) to looking like a great pick that will be a big part of our offense.
I still question it. Could have got a RB in the later rounds that can do the same things that BR can do. He is basically a one cut and go type of runner. Nothing fancy, he's going to move the chains but he isn't a home run hitter. He isn't special catching it out of the backfield or great in space. I just think this organization is obsessed with Bama players. It's lazy scouting imo.
I used the Shanahans as an example when it came to running backs. I would never take one in the first 3 rounds of a draft. They have had so many no name runners that got a 1,000 yards.

They def love Bama guys, I think he'll be a good back though.. Is he a JT28 or Zeke in his prime? Prob not but he'll be solid

He may not be great at any one thing but I think he'll be good at everything he is asked to do. The only thing I might question about picking him might be the round in which he was taken. Doc Walker compared him to Stephen Davis.

The only time I take a RB in the first 3 rounds if he is a Marshall Faulk, Tomlinson type. Those guys were elite runners obviously, but also they were elite pass catchers as well. You could split them out and they could literally run all the wr routes, so they were difficult to defend. In the league today this is the only type of backs that I'd want.
The BR type of backs to me are sort of a dime a dozen. You can find them anywhere really, deep in the draft or UFA. Henry is the exception obviously.
But the few runs BR had he hit the damn hole hard and moved the pile. No messing around so that was nice to see.

They def have a lot of great players no doubt. But they have had their fair share of busts. Or overhyped players that are just sort of meh in the pros.
