[SteelersPride]

F. Toussant.......to think Williams can shoulder that load again may be foolish just my opinion

Gotta love the preseason jibber jabber. I think TRich said the same thing.

Comes as no surprise to me. ..

"
The Florida Times Union expects the Jaguars to start Chris Ivory over T.J. Yeldon.

They're certainly paying Ivory like a starter, signing him to a five-year deal worth $32.5 million. Based on OTA reps, beat writer Ryan O'Halloran believes Yeldon is "ear-marked for a regular third-down/fill-in early down role" with "Ivory as the initial starter." The Jags refused to give Yeldon the ball in scoring position last season and may envision him as more of a finesse back. Power runner Ivory is the heavy favorite for goal-line work"

There you goes - - problem solved. ....

Colin Kaepernick got contact lenses this off-season to help his short vision. (foxsports.com)

Fantasy Impact: So that's been the problem the whole time! He can't see the receiver that he's trying to throw the ball to. I guess it can't make him any worse.... right?

Oh I dunno. .there's still levels or worse-ness below Kaeps. I'm totally fine with him staying bad, or even getting worse, right up until SF releases him. Then a real football team can sign him dirt cheap, and that's when he needs to get better. After all, Romo only has a couple years left

So some beat reporter throws his 2 cents into the mix.
Who is it again? The Florida Times Union?
That's the National Inquirer of newspapers.
The Eric Karabell of prognostication media "rags." (i.e. poor)

Evil Treff.
But you gave me an idea.... gonna look at each team to see how "touches" were distributed among the RB.
May take a while.
Good thing I have my trusty spreadsheet. Just have to whip up a formula.

Ha, looking very much forward to that analysis Joe..however, it won't change the fact that Ivory is the better back in Jax this season

 

[Chef99]

They are coming. Lord help us all.

Devontae Booker
If it it weren't for issues with learning the playbook, Booker would have been a second-round pick. Teams really love his skill set with the ability to hurt defenses on the ground using speed, power and physicality. Booker also showed skills to contribute as a receiver in the Utes' passing game. Thus, he has the ability to develop into a three-down starter as a professional.

The big negative for Booker was teams thought he would struggle to learn the playbook. He had problems with that at Utah, and sources said that it was so bad teammates had to explain to him what direction to run in the huddle. Thus, Booker could have problems seeing the field early in his career until he has his playbook down. Learning blitz protection will be especially vital to Booker becoming a starter.

Denver was a great landing spot for Booker. Gary Kubiak runs a simplified offense with zone runs that fit Booker's running style. Kubiak also doesn't ask a tremendous amount from his backs in the passing game. Given Booker's mental limitations, I think it could take him a few years to become a starter. Kubiak just won the Super Bowl and is developing a new quarterback, so he has plenty of time and is not on the hot seat. Thus, Denver should have continuity in schemes for Booker for many years to come and he can learn the playbook gradually to develop into a solid starter.

It'll be sooner than later

IDK, being dense is not a good attribute for a player, Christine Micheals come to mind.

Just got done with a draft for a start up league, and drafted Booker. Sure wish I had seen this before the draft.

Gotta love them rookies!
