Ivory needs 18-20 carries a week tops. Really 15 should be the number. He's a risk to go out for the season on every single carry.
Bilal stays over Stacy. The one thing that Powell does best on this roster, and probably one of the most underrated skills for a RB to have (from a fan's perspective), is picking up the blitz.
Wow can't believe cutting Powell is even in the conversation. Best blocking RB we have as well as the only change of pace rb. Stacy, Ivory, Ridley are all power runners!!! Powell has been banged up give the dude a break, still had some very solid stats in the games he was 100% in. If it has to be a RB cut Stacy is the clear choice, though he did show a flash in the redskins game. I would just cut tommy boy but we all know that won't happen as he should have been cut long ago. Can't wait to sell that Ridley celebration, I will get jacked!!!!!
Powell isn't getting cut smh. He picks up the blitz well, still catches the ball well and is a solid shifty runner. He's just been injured. Stacy's role is in danger of anything, unless they carry 4 RB's.
You're right. Before the ball was even snapped, Ivory had pointed out the incoming blitzer, then picked him up. We all celebrated the TD but Ivory's blocking is what gave Fitz a chance to even make it happen. http://a.video.nfl.com/films/2015/N...G/6/151018_bp_Fitzpatrick_TD_320433_3200k.mp4
I can for sure see myself accidently kicking something or someone being drunk and hyped trying to do Ridley's celebration. Shoe fly off and clock an old lady.. my luck i tell ya..
Mac signed Bilal to a one year deal for 2 mil (for 2015) and next season he's a free agent. Cumberland is making about the same money but is signed thru the end of 2016.
Stacy is a bruiser back like Ivory, but he is way more one dimensional. It was very apparent that Ivory was gone during the Eagles game because Stacy just wasn't that good. Most of the time he just comes out to spell Ivory when the defenses are already tired from getting run on all day. I'd rather they cut Stacy or move him to fullback and cut Bohannon to make room for Ridley , who is gonna secure the 2nd spot quickly IMO.
This... Hope Ridley turns out to be better than the fading Powell or the not-so-sure-what-we-have Stacey... Because Ivory going down is pretty much our offense gone...Ivory this season has gone from good to great potential to just Great...best back in the league...he even looks beastly catching...but his injury history is always lingering....
I think the breakdown will end up being something like this...... Ivory will get 15-20 carries a game...... Ridley will get 10-15 carries...... Powell will be in on passing situation and maybe get a run or 2 per game....... Stacy is the odd man out......
Here's the plan... Cut Tommy B, get Stacy on that Mike Tolbert diet plan and move him to FB lol Honestly I've not been I'm pressed at all by Stacy. He has just like someone else said, had a few decent drives in garbage not much else. On the other hand, Powell has always been a ham and egger just giving you 3.5ypc a decent catch here or there but not much else. This year he looks like he's lost a step, for a guy who was already a step behind 90% of guys at his position. Tough choice really.
