Ward has been cut by Tampa reportedly because they didnt think he deserved the 3.5 million he whe was due this year, I say, if we can get him on the cheap, bring him in. We could use the depth.

Ward was overweight in camp and has stuggled with injuries. We have enough injury prone running backs, with B-Jack, Lumpkin and Starks.

I say go with Kuhn as the 3rd RB and save a spot. Or Starks which sounds like he's finally healthy (though I don't like giving spots to people that haven't earn them but Starks does have good upside enough to keep him. IMO)

Starks went on PUP, Porter went on IR. It is Grant, Jackson and Lumpy.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

Assuming they keep 3 RBs that are currently on the team, yes.

But more than one mock rosters has had only 2 RBs with Kuhn being the 3rd RB if needed. Just saying it's possible. And we'll probably see a lot of Lumpkin and kuhn in the last game... it's kin vs. kuhn ... the battle of "k" backs

I don't see them keeping 3 full backs either. Here is a hypothetical. They have Kuhn, a versatile back, Hall, a versatile/power blocking back. Johnson, a power blocking back. Ya see where I am going here? If they keep Johnson and Kuhn, they have a wide range of skills. If they keep Hall and Kuhn, they have depth. Here is the interesting bit. They have Havner for versatile depth at fullback if they need it. Crazy huh.

They should trade Quinn Johnson and Donald Lee. Get a decent OLB.

Yeah, you got that wrong... Hall isn't a power back and Havner has proven he can't block while playing the H-back... as he's been missing H-back blocks all preseason. If he can't block at H-back he probably can't block at FB. D. Lee might be able to play FB... Crabtree maybe too (but I haven't seen him being used at an H-back yet, so my guess is he's still learning H-back) (Just want to note I think Crabtree might be a very good TE/FB/H-back if he is given the time to learn it all but right now he seems to be working solely on TE)

Hall is a versatile back as he's the best receiver, best on the perimeter as he's great at turning his guys shoulders and the best STer and IMO the best over all other than he doesn't have power and hasn't been able to stay healthy.
(PS I say he's the best overall because he's gotten the most starts per game when he's been healthy and he's currently #1 FB on the depth charts at the start of training camp.)

Kuhn is the best RB of the three. Other than that he's not the best of anything. He's just the most versatile because of the running and MM like versatile as it makes more options and more options makes more confusion and better match ups. Kuhn is better than average at everything but not very good at one thing other than maybe becoming a power RB (which I think they should go for)

Johnson is clearly a GREAT run blocker between the tackles. Everything else is kinda questionable for him including run blocking outside the tackles in space as he has trouble lining up his blocks in space.


RBs: Grants, Jackson, Kuhn
FBs: Hall, Johnson

There only 2 FBs :thumbleft:

That's interesting, and probably our best course of action when it's time for cuts.

But I'd like to see Lumpkin make the team finally. Even though he would sorta get the job handed to him, rather than earning it with Quinn Porter on IR, and Starks to PUP. And his services are limited. Not really useful on special teams, and would not likely get any snaps barring injury to Grant or Jackson.
