    What about Sankey seems like a guy to build around? He's been tremendously disappointing. I don't see a special talent at all. Should be a top rusher in the league considering where he was drafted. First RB off the board.

    Sankey hasn't had a lot of help with the OL. Dude hardly ever gets caught for no gain or negative yardage even when hit in the backfield. He plays hard. Lot better than green, Mclusters, Washington , etc. . Our OL causing problems all the way astound, running and passing. Which affects our defense.

    What other rookie RB has looked good though?

    Hill might end up being the best RB in this class, but his team is significantly better at running the ball than we are. Hyde and Mason haven't done much better with their opportunities. Andre Williams (who I was high on) has been awful! I thought Freeman had the best opportunity out of all the backs and he's been a disappointment as well. So far I'm still glad we took Sankey and I'm optimistic about what he can become. Hate the game, not the player. Our OL is atrocious!

    We also don't leave him on the field enough. How is running back supposed to build any momentum if they keep getting pulled??? It f*cking pisses me off that we have 4 f*ucking running backs in rotation. I'm usually never angry but this absolutely ridiculous! To be an "offensive genius" Whiz really is a a terrible play caller. It's sad and depressing actually. I'm legitimately missing fisherball and muchball. At least then we had consistency and they kept feeding the same guy the ball knowing that eventually it would work out.

    Don't forget that stat's only show part of the picture. Sure on paper Schwenke looks bad but only when pass blocking. That has to be affected by both Guards either side of him having poor stat's for pass blocking.

    I'm just not ready to give up on Hunter yet.

    I won't argue that any has looked particularly good. That doesn't mean Sankey was a good pick, though.

    You have to compare him to the other 2nd rounders taken this year. Also fair to compare him to the 2nd round running backs taken last year (Lacy, Le'Veon, Gio). Suddenly, Sankey looks like a reach.

    Sankey is the man, he's going to prove a lot of people wrong.

    I think we are good to go on offense other than some help on the OL, a QB to back up Mett or take his place, and a new WR.

    We need to spend 85% of the offseason rebuilding our defense!
