I’ll keep looking at Lindsay and/or Fournette as free agent RBs to look at. Having them with Winston and Thomas would be a good start.

I agree with you on all that but especially running back. We need a bell cow running back. Kamara is not built to run in between the tackles a whole bunch neither is CMC. It’s an element missing in this offense. Not saying to trade Kamara or anything like that but have Kamara as a neo change of pace back. I know this is unlikely cause of the money he’s making they want him on the field every waking moment but I think he is more dangerous not as the every down back.

I think a Fournette return to Louisiana would be a great thing for both sides.

Once we get a new OC in-house, we may have a better idea of which direction the offense is going.

Leonard is most effective in a gap-power blocking scheme.

Added bonus - Dougie Marrone was Fournette's coach in Jacksonville.

I've screamed this for years. Payton has tried to use Kamara like the Rams used Faulk, didn't work, never was going to work, he's nowhere near Faulk. Your correct with the bell cow. There's a few ways to go (1) a Derrick Henry type with a good backup to spell out (2) A thunder and lightning (Muncie and Galbreath) (3) A 3 headed monster that won us a SB. Kamara is good at what he is, more of a specialty back. I personally would look to trade him and revamp the backfield.

I guess you could look at it with the belichick motto. Best to get rid of them two years too early than two years too late. But I think they’ll ride him til the wheels fall off
