Mr. Slay

Any kid comming out of the draft with no real position is going to drop. ND killed his stock by having him switch positions. He wasnt a WR comming out....and teams hadnt seen enough of him at RB at that point. I mocked him to us in the 6th...thats where he went. Only dumb asses like mayhew take pass catching rbs in rds 1-2 with limited time at the position.

Bah...you're reaching as usual lol. Just admit that Mayhew made a good, potentially GREAT draft pick. You can't tho....not surprising lol.

What RBs you referring to with your last statement? I'm kinda burnt lol
 
I didn't say he was going to be double teamed. But right now I don't see anyone being double teamed so the extra guy will be there to take Riddick down. Or whoever the ball goes too.

No defense in the NFL is double teaming Riddick. I see nobody getting blanketed in this O now. Too many weapons......holy fuck i'm fired up!!!!

You can read, right? Again, where did I say double teamed? If I learned anything from this team is that looking good and actually doing good are far apart sometimes.

Ok, I'm done being nice. Comment #34 on this thread, you fucking momo. You mentioned Riddick getting DOUBLE TEAMED. YOU DID!
 
not sure i'd give him more years. He hasn't done it long and who knows what cj's retiring will do. Those db will have to go somewhere. Most likely the wide-outs but matt throws to the backs quite a bit so maybe he gets some double teams this season.

I would need to seem some more good season's from riddick to give him a longer deal.

right here!!!!!
 
I don't even think Marshall Faulk was ever double teamed by defenses in his life!!! But hey, "maybe" Theo fucking Riddick might tho...lol.
 
Hell yeah i hope they double team Theo and leave all our WR's in 1 on 1's... Give the YAC God Tate some MORE room to run.

Well, while we're having fantasies, I hope they double team Devin Taylor and single block Ansah all season.

Nah u know damn well Robinson is going to start at DT and get double teamed every snap.

Shit, by mid season defenses will double teaming that fucking bear we drafted in the 2nd round this year.
 
Defenses are gonna have to do something different though, linebackers cannot cover this guy

Different like what?? Defenses will try and chip him with their D-ends and LBs. You try and put your most athletic LB on him, spy him...whatever. Riddick isn't the only weapon on this team!!! There's a handful of capable guys out there now. No more "where's 81?" anymore. I'm excited.....

I am too Tony. Honestly, I'd have an extra corner on the field every time Riddick is on the field
 
Double jones, single tate, slot cb on boldin, ebron versus other safety. Riddick gets a linebacker unless they are in dime. Or ebron gets the lb and safety on riddick. Or run the ball against dime if riddick can finally prove he can run

I don't see anyone doubling Jones either. Unless they start showing that Jones can blow by CBs with ease, then they'll need that Safety help. Like I said before, too many weapons to double up.....not happening.

This could easily happen. Then you audible into a run with Ridley or AA.
 
I feel that Cooter is going to have a lot of fun with this offense. Finally hope our O is not so predictable. I hated the past 2 years sitting at home watching the games and able to guess our plays more often than not
 
Riddick has a career 2.9 YPC....you guys can stop comparing him to any starting RB. Hes a great weapon out of the backfield as a pass catcher....but at this point hes proven hes not a consistent runner of the football.

I agree. He's a great option in the passing game. Personally, I would have loved if they moved him to WR. That was until we picked up guys like M. Jones and Boldin.
