Dadonkadonk Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 He was rarely used yesterday. He is not very good. One would think with this O-line a double TE, two back set with a FB would be a good idea. Instead they ran out of the shotgun three WR most of the time. I just see no need for a FB in the modern NFL. Lee, Croom, or Murphy can do everything DiMarco can. Waste of a roster spot that could be better used for a third QB, a 6th WR, or another defender. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Mickey D does tend to lean on him as a locker room guy and vet leader. Why, who knows? Same reason I can't figure out how Ducasse is starting, or Peterman is still even being considered to start against SD. The team has left some tough questions opened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 DiMarco staying on this team is fast approaching Chris Kelsay levels. I've said for 2 years he's worthless. Why is Ducasse, Gaines and PeterPan still here? If Mickey D wants to open up roster spots feel free to start here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I heard he helped Peterman help Daboll move into his office, and that he and Peterman are always the last 2 guys off the field at practice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Been saying for two seasons now that DiMarco is a waste of a roster spot. We should of (sic) kept Reilly or O'Nicklaus, two guys who could catch the damn ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew our OL was going to take a beating after the departure of Incognito, Wood and Glenn. The problem was that we did not address it in FA (with all that dead cap money) and went with our last years backups as the starters. The Pre-season showed that those guys (Ducasse, Miller, Groy) are not ready to become starters. This team cannot fix everything in one season. They chose to fix the defense this year by drafting Edmunds, Phillip and signing Lotulelei. Hopefully they will address the OL next year. The problem is one never gets a good starting OL in FA. They are simply a rare breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GETTOTHE50 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Who !@#$ing knows. I don’t remember the last time we ran a strong I or power I or whatever the !@#$ madden calls it, but we sure know how to run from the shotgun with him off the field. I mean just brilliant usage.

Bodine has been in the league for 5 years and sucked all those years, despite being the starter in Cinci. He couldn't even beat out career backup, Ryan Groy. Marshall Newhouse has been in the league for 8 years and sucked all those years. As for "fixing the defense", I might agree if the defense had bothered to show up on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. And special teams. And like mentioned in the OP, use him plus double TE sets at times! Daboll really left everyone to dry, not just the players IMO. It's only one game but let's just say it was the worst outcome except for injuries. I also think they should use a lot of double RB sets! Ivory and Murphy do make DiMarco's FB position a little useless... if that ever happens. Does he catch balls well? If so, again, use him. When the Oline and WRs are your weak point, stop using them so much as if there were no other formations than a 3-4 WR set!

Wayne Arnold Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 He should’ve been used more on offense Sunday. Daboll gave up on the run game too quickly and set a rattled rookie up to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
