Paging Marcel Reece...

So we want to focus on the run game but now have no fullback on the roster. This should be a interesting development.

Since when did Pete say this past week that he wanted to "focus on the running game"? Did I miss something?

Glad they got Battle on the PS

Interested to see Forrest - he profiles a bit like a poor-man's KJ Wright. LB depth is definitely a concern.

He has been saying it since last season, need to get the run game fixed, need to show some physicality, drafting Carson, Collins, Prosise, bringing in Lacy, and every potential F.A. such as Davis that fits their profile isn't for show and tell.

Hmmm, making room for a DE coming off of IR?

Pete's been saying that forever.

With Tre Maddan and DJ Alexander injured, we needed a guy for special teams.

Sign Marcel Reese NOW!!!

DJ Alexander injured again? It seems he's been spending way too much time near Prosise. Prosise seems to be rubbing off on him.

Madden brought nothing to the run game. Hopefully a year beefing up and learning will help him.

Nothing against Madden, but the guy is a tailback the coaches were trying to make into a fullback. He just doesn't have the size right now to take on defensive ends and even some LBers. That play where he tried to block Clowney was ridiculous and it isn't Tre's fault, he was set up to fail.

I believe you are thinking of Mr Garvin. He hadn'ti played in a while, while DJ has played well on special teams.
