Cut Baron Batch we got LeVeon Bell now that's 3 big RB's now.

 

You think Batch survives cuts? Couldn't we just get rid of him and Johnson?

 

which Johnson? Hoping you mean DJ and not Will because Will was solid last season not huge but solid

 

Yeah DJ for SURE! Every time I see him I'm like "dude what are you doing here?" LOL. We just resigned him a couple of months ago to a one year deal I think, if I'm not mistaken.

 

I would be TOTALLY fine with that. Remember Batch dropping that WIDE OPEN trick play in the Cincy game this year? Well I've never forgotten it and I am out for blood! LOL.

 

Wow I was wrong on them wanting to see what Dwyer was made of.

 

Didn't BA really like DJ? Think we could send him in a package deal to Arizona and their TE Rob Housler? I mean Arians loves TEs just not throwing to them so having a guy like Housler is a waste. I kid but seriously give DJ to someone anyone please take him I will throw in a years supply of slightly used Terrible Towels. Pleaseraying:

 

Yeah I would really like for DJ to be out of here. I wouldn't even want them to let that guy wear the Steely McBeam costume!

 

He didn't drop it, he totally whiffed at it. I don't think he got his hands on it.

 

Yeah I think it literally went THROUGH his hands didn't it? I mean like BETWEEN both of them. It was horrible for sure either way.

 

This is a great signing, the kid can play, he will help out a ton. Hail to Pitt.

 

They already say what he's made of...not much. No matter how much he improves, Dwyer is a plodder. He's not a playmaker whatsoever. We have two playmakers now in Bell and LSH.

 

So Shaner you think our depth chart will be Bell, LSH, Dwyer, Redman leaving DJ and Batch to be cut?

 

LSH is going to be a specialist, so he can't really be ranked in the depth chart. He'll see passing down work and special teams and not much more. Bell is clearly the solution to our RB woes and the plan will be for him to be the top dog on the depth chart, but that might not happen right away. Bell needs quite a bit of work. None of the RB's in this draft class are as polished as past years. Bell is a liability in pass defence and his decision making/vision is going to need quite a bit of work. As much as I rag on Dwyer, he's a polished RB who can fill the gap we have at RB while waiting for Bell to be ready.

Long term though, Dwyer may not even be on the team. He may want to go elsewhere. Being behind a 21 year old kid who is full of talent isn't ideal for Dwyer.

 

Let's not all get on the "embarrassment of riches" train again. It left the station last year; Clay got maimed in camp, Rainey dumbed his way out, and Baron Batch couldn't even impersonate Mewelde Moore. With injuries, and late-season AFC North weather, we need several usable RB's. Dwyer will get his opportunities.

 

Yeah I realized that last night got my players mixed up
