DCbillsfan Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Rosenhaus was flying out of Buffalo. We were on the same flight. Buffalo to Dulles. I just looked him up through a google search. RSR stands for Rosenhaus Sports Representation. Unfortunately his wife didnt look all that great compared to internet photos. Figures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO wayyyy to close for comfort. Keep Shady for another year just so we don't eff things up and take a RB early. I would think the opposite. This regime has not dedicated a single draft pick to a RB since they got here and seem to prefer older backs. I would be shocked if they did that. I would expect OL/DL at the top. 2 minutes ago, DCbillsfan said: Rosenhaus was flying out of Buffalo. We were on the same flight. Buffalo to Dulles. I just looked him up through a google search.

Beane/McD prefer older veteran backups who can play special teams, but they have had McCoy so no need to look for a feature back. Hopefully they are not looking to draft one in the first 2 rounds. We have needs in other areas that will help the QB much more. I'd rather go with a good TE who can block and catch and OL/WR help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what round Howard was drafted in Chicago but same thing. Kamara in New Orleans wasn't a 1st rounder either.

They really seem to prefer experienced RBs. I would prefer they draft one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a position that normally has high turnover, RBs don't last so you need fresh legs, but McBeane is attacking it the opposite way, if you're under 28 he doesnt' want you on the roster. He's going to have to get younger at RB, but I don't see the need to invest high draft capital. Sign a free agent like Ivory again next year, draft one in the 3rd or 4th round. Go from there. Zeke and Barkley aren't carrying their teams to victory. Neither is Fournette in Jacksonville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a passing league no need to break the bank on a rb- get one that can pound it between the tackle and can pass protect.

If there is a Todd Gurley type RB who plays a big role in the passing game it’s not a bad idea at all..but I don’t think there is anyone like that in this draft. There are those types of RBs in the draft, but no one who would go that high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure It doesn't make sense but Pryor has signed a couple large contracts thus probably making Rosenhaus a nice chuck of change, so he might feel compelled to come himself. not to mention he is probably the agent of a few players playing last night, always good to meet face to face and check in.

The Giants should have taken Darnold instead of Barkley, and I think they realize that now. Get your RB’s in the middle rounds, and ride them into the dirt. Disposable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's alive anymore and I don't want to talk crap about him just that technique was IMO not a good way to do business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
