Re: Lewis, Lasco or Bighill?

Bighill is a good problem going forward. Only proven real-time against the scrubs from 2 pedestrian offenses so far. May not match up well with our division's 1's but has the smarts & just makes plays. Personally I'd keep Lil Bigman and slice from another position. He ain't gonna get past waivers & he'll get poached from the PS more than likely.

TLL is a lock. We're not as deep at WR as in previous years. He has proven in the regular season that he can hang as a rookie last year (3 for 43 yds vs ATL & 2 for 24 yds vs CAR). Keeper. He'll be a good one in our offense in the future.

Lasco...ehh...keep Victor over him. Run with A.P./M.I./Kamara/Victor/Kuhn at RB. I wouldn't be shocked if Edmunds slipped in over Victor though. One or the other is not gonna clear waivers or go to PS where they'll get poached.

Victor sort of reminds me of Maurice-Jones Drew. Short, stocky and carries a lot of punch.

Stature-wise yes. But MJJ had great short quickness & straight-line speed (4.39 / 40). Victor has the vision & cutting ability, just doesn't have the burst MJJ had. Hope he makes it, but Edmunds has potential, too. Good size 6' 1" 223 & speed 4.48 / 40. Looks like he can catch the ball too. IDK...2 good backs so far. Rooting for both.

Is Victor the future at FB?

That's not a bad idea. He could learn from the best with Kuhn. He don't have break-away speed but he's good in small spaces. He can handle LBs & Safeties in the blocking schemes...opens the playbook bc of his ballhandling abilities. They are gonna need to find a way to keep him & Edmunds away from other teams. I just think both have "it" for this offense.

I don't think he has the size. Regardless of how the NFL evolves, why even have a fullback if not to block? Otherwise you're just running a two running back set.

Re: Lewis, Lasco or Bighill?

if t. lew. had sneads gekko cups he would be a lock, i'm just not sold on his hands, or mental lapses on drops which is not many though, but payton remembers every single one u do drop so?? parcels sent t lew to us and that still in my opinion is why he hangs around, i called out way before the draft that 2 guys will not make the 53 this season and t. lew is 1 and the other was marc. murphy which has been gone. but now with al the hype i'm wondering. its just amazing that the t. lew is still in one piece. he knows how to ball up.

thats the fact jack!!!!!

I'm pretty sure Victor is a RB, not a FB.

If we need a FB, we sign a FB.

Exactly. Victor is a Joe Morris type of RB, he'll snipe goal line touches from Ingram and AD...

But he'd get his head taken off trying to open holes for other backs...
