I do think Cook can be a lead back in a 70/30 split with a RB2 but he has to prove he's more the a pass catching RB. Yes, Cook could surprise us and rise to that kind of role. That's his true upside. I don't think that will happen. What I think is more likely is that he could end up in a role sort of like Darren Sproles in his prime. Not exactly like Sproles, but a similar role, a guy who isn't the primary guy, but he's a third-down back+. I think he could be a guy who sees 30-40% of offensive snaps, a guy who in some ways is more dangerous than the actual starter. Being as impactful as Sproles is his other true upside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Noggin Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I like Moss as a compliment to the other two RBs. Good contact balance, runs behind his pads, solid in the passing game, and has always been well suited to a zone running scheme. He makes perfect sense as the 3rd RB here this year, and possibly #2 next year (behind Cook). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk71 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I think a lot of people are underestimating Moss' potential when healthy. This is from before the 2020 draft. Utah's Zack Moss forced a missed tackle on 38% of rushes in 2019. Most among any RB with 150+ carries in a season since 2014. On top of over 1,400 rushing yards and 15 tds in his final collegiate season, Moss also had 28 receptions for 388 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He also led his draft class in yards after contact. I won't be surprised if he breaks out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame the lead blocker for not getting out fast enough. Blame the LB for making a good play. But Moss was doing exactly what he was supposed to do, and then made a good, very quick change. What else is he supposed to do? Assume before the snap that his lead blocker is going to get blown up and run the wrong direction from the snap? Guess I'm in the severe minority. I don't have a problem with Moss's speed or power... well... actually I think his power is overrated. As I type this I would say Moss is faster than I thought he'd be coming out of college but with less power. Ya know who he actually reminds me of? Devin Singletary with poorer vision... which was basically what I was getting at on that play. I don't think Singletary runs into the back of Morris like that and he makes the same play. And this isn't me touting Singletary as Barry Sanders... if anything for me it's just more of an indictment of Moss considering Singletary is, at best, an average RB.

With our WRs running intermendiate and deep routes the underneath stuff is ripe for YAC from the RB position and the slot. That means teams will quickly try to cheat up to stop that if its working well which means the intermediate/deep routes should have more room. Its a balance and I don't think with Josh we ever have to worry about relying on the underneath stuff, its just a real nice safety valve. With the dynamics of JA and the offence I see it creating more trouble for opposing Ds Edited August 19, 2022 by ddaryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't either (although adding him via trade would be quite interesting) There are a lot of advantageous matchups if Cook can be motioned out wide/run routes like he did in college. Also Allen dumping off to Cook on screens could really add to our YAC and it also eliminates Josh taking extra punishment while running. I know Josh's legs are a huge asset....but ideally we could limit that at least somewhat and then catch opposing defenses in the playoffs by UNLEASHING him to run 15 times per game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Period. He has the competitiveness and both physical and mental gifts to make things happen with his legs and especially his arm and choosing which play will work best.

Agree on Moss. he's a slow average dime a dozen back. Singletary is okay, like his elusiveness, wish he had more speed/acceleration to his game. Good runs turn into great runs with speed.

A lot of RBs need enough runs to get in the groove. I do think Moss makes the team again, but he will be RB3. With Gilliam and Jones dressing every week and if history is any indication, Moss will not be dressing for a lot of games. I have no idea what if any his role will be next season.

Moss doesn't seem to use his power for extra yards - its just... punishment. He runs right at you with the ball secure against his chest. He can block, and he sort of seems to enjoy inflicting punishment. Singletary got a bunch of TDs and a single 100 yard game. He also fumbles considerably more than Moss.

One thing I haven't heard anything about is how is Howard doing in blocking. Something I will keep an eye on tomorrow. If he is used in that role, he won't run out a pass pattern at the snap. He will stay in and block and then leak out sometimes for a catch. I can live with that this year as long as he is blocking well and Knox keeps his current role. The negative of all this is if Knox is out for any length of time Howard will not be effective in Dawson's role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Causation does not mean Correlation. I feel as though the offensive line is at the crux of a lot of the run game issues. We started the year with Dawkins (missed camp with bad covid) Feliciano (lost weight, but somehow looked more out of shape than ever before) Morse Ford (don't need to get into it) Williams Williams is too slow to get outside on outside zone rushes to the right, and too sloppy to prevent backside backers from cleaning up the play. Brown was put in because they felt like he could open up the running game. Williams shifted to RG because Ford is bad. Brown missed some time at T so they shifted Boettger in at Guard. Ford shuffled back in when Feliciano got hurt (that lovely Jax game). There was some covid related shifting for another week, and then Boettger was injured and they inserted Bates. Feliciano returned from IR and didn't have a spot as bates had out performed him, and Williams is a much better pass blocker. That's a lot of shuffling. You also have to look at how many snaps Ford and Feliciano got - for how insanely inept both played. With Boettger on the PUP to start the year, the starting 5 is pretty set. Quessenberry and Doyle appear to be the next men up after that, but Boettger returning rounds out the depth a lot better. Hopefully the Saffold/Kromer additions, healthy dawkins, and healthy Brown will make this unit improved. 1 hour ago, ColoradoBills said: Well to be fair he was rushing behind a pretty bad OL.

Moss brings a different skillset as a plus blocker, wrecking ball style runner, with good ball security. Cook is the shifty pass catcher type who will likely grow into other roles over the course of the year. Singletary is a pretty well rounded back, lacks some top end speed but hes quicker and tougher than any combine would say. Taiwan jones is the special teams guy who can play in a pinch. I don't think Moss would be active every week unless there are injuries, but on certain weeks i would think it'd make sense to carry him.

Obviously dependent on Cook's development and skills, but if you could bring DS back for something like 4-6M then I don't think it'd be bad. Still keeps the total RB cap number in the middle of the pack, keeps continuity and draft picks. Obviously depends how he performs this year too (do we want him back?)

What seems a little weird about the typical "above average" RB is they move on from the team they had a lot of success with to another team and generally their play goes down. Often times they get cut and don't make the big money due at the end of their 2nd contract. Then they are out there signing with a third team often for way less. I get the elite guys going for the huge paydays, but I often wonder if the better than average guys would do better in the long run (money/performance wise) just staying with their drafted teams for longer periods of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only the entire system wasn't stacked against this kind of thinking... Then again, it's nearly impossible to argue against players absolutely maximizing their money as soon as possible, without exception. In such a dangerous, short-lived career, especially for RBs who are devalued and prone to even shorter careers, it's just smart to get the most lucrative possible 2nd NFL contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
