Mynamemike Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I wouldn’t hate it. I don’t know if we can make the moves necessary to get the defense up to respectability with the all injuries. So why not just ram rod it down teams throats. The Henry, Cook and Allen backfield would make teams have to respect the run which would definitely open up the deep stuff that teams have been playing to stop recently. 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whorlnut Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I don’t know if it will be Henry or not, but I fully expect some movement before the deadline. I see this as the Beane and McD last gasp. If things go south, then the two of them might not be working together in the next couple months. Gotta make something happen. Can’t take those draft picks with you. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like the Doug Whaley team building strategy- Get whatever good players you can find and hope the coaches can figure out a way to make it work.

Thanks Alpha! This has McD fingerprints all over it-he wants to sustain a balanced/ball control offense. No better way than a top tier RB who almost automatically gives 3 yards per touch, at minimum. I wouldn't love the move, because I place WR2 at a higher need/impact. But Cook has never been a workhorse type back, still think he's better used with 5-10 carries and 5+ catches per game. In theory, it opens up the passing game/far less 2 high safeties. Perhaps that gets Gabe useful again, and/or more intermediate targets for Kincaid and others. I'd also not be surprised if we reached out to Tenn on other guys. They are definitely "sellers" right now, they'd have a few pieces that'd immediately help us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your offense has both an elite QB and elite RB, it’s a win for the offense every play it also allows you to really attack teams based on whether their pass D or run D is weak Edited October 25, 2023 by Warriorspikes51 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
