PT23 and Sprolles Replacement 2014?

jeanpierre · 02-28-2014, 05:18 AM

Sims and Archer...

But we have a late bloomer in Ingram that we'll give us all of one season before he goes onto greener fields...

hagan714 · 02-28-2014, 07:52 AM

lets see what we got for a short list

R2 Bishop Sankey - Washington
R3 Charles Sims - West Virgina
R4 JAMES WHITE - WISCONSIN
R5 Dri Archer - Kent St.
R6 Jerick McKinnon Georgia Southern's

Not bad not bad at all

Why are we replacing them again?

Even if they both go, I dont think we have to go out and find a replacement.

K. Robinson replaces P. Thomas
Cadet replaces Sproles

Seems like we are going after a whole new team in the draft... C'mon man!

There is no way I see Dri Archer being there in the 5th round but if he is then I would be all for that...A Sproles replacement for both returning and offense. And McKinnon...the same for him....he appears to have a very high ceiling with some good coaching

If we got either one I would be very happy!!

Looks like there are a ton of good scat back Sproles types in this draft.
I think we may target one late in the draft, if they're BPA when we pick.

To me, both PT and Sproles looked like they're starting to slow down a bit. Not a whole lot, but they aren't getting any younger.

Could save over $6ml in cap cutting both Sproles and Thomas.

I don't think Cadet is the answer to replace Sproles. We need someone a bit more shiftier, elusive and can scare the hell out of you on any given punt/kick off return. I don't think Cadet is that back.

I don't think we need a RB to return kicks. Most of those guys are WRs.

Discussed this ad nauseum, if we'd not run out of running backs we could have kept possibly run out the clock or at the least had more balance in the offense...

Maybe you didnt discuss it enough because we didnt run out of backs in that game. When your last possession is a TD with 1:34 left on the clock, you cant run the clock out, you don't have the ball.

You had 3 backs for that game anyway, how many do you need? You think using a 4th running back would have bade a difference? Jones, Bush, Evans
Only players injured in that game were Obomanu and henderson.

This season we would have Collins, K. Robinson, Ingram, and Cadet = 4

In 2010 we went through 10 RBs on the roster, 1-2 more would have not made a difference.
