    It is slightly embarrassing, a year removed from taking the first RB off the board, a late round rookie is considered by many to be the best on the roster.

    It is indeed my friend....Exactly why I was so irritated NOT taking Jeremy Hill last year. I'll tell you this though, if Sankey can't run this year with all that they added, he will be going buh bye and will be a bust second round pick. I am hoping that's not the case, and I still believe he can contribute.

    I don't think he deserves all of the blame, the o-line was brutal and injured. I think we can all expect more from both the line and Sankey this year.

    Not doubt he doesn't deserve all of the blame, and I fully expect him to play better (which is why I said he can still contribute). That said, he wasn't the only rookie with an average or below average line either. He didn't run in between the tackles very well. He will have no excuse this year if this line stays healthy, average or not.

    Sankey critics coming out again? He'll be fine, we'll be fine, you'll all see his value when his OLine isn't backing up in the running lanes..

    Brave, we have done this before....Not a critic, lol, you know I believe he has potential, but they still should have taken Hill---line or no line. I think it was criminal that Whiz didn't start him earlier before LW and DMC, but that's another story. The line sucked indeed, but he wasn't hitting the tackles hard or showing anything amazing. He has no excuses this year, unless the line evaporates again...This remains to be seen. I think the addition of Cobb, and Fowler should help him greatly.

    You only think Hill is all that cause of the line he has helping pave the way, you give Sankey that same room to move around and no one is complaining. Ill give you Hill is better (think I had him rated 3rd RB that year), but Hill wouldn't do much here either with that inept OLine.

    Only RB's that could have survived our 2014 season and not come out looking like crap would have been an Adrian Peterson type that can create their own yards. Hill is a good RB but even he needs space to get going, our OLine simply didn't allow that to happen after around week-10 or so.

    Hey, you may be right...but I said all along that they needed a bruiser to move the chains and help with time of possession. We both saw what happened as a result, and lookie who got drafted (Cobb). I do think Sankey will be much improved this year and they need to get him out in space causing issues...It all depends on how Whiz uses him. Otherwise, this kid better pray he lands on a team with a stellar line. This is a big year for Sankey and I hope he thrashes it honestly. I'd like to see him as a Reggie Bush type of guy, used with screens and outside carries etc. Hill is a beast bro. There is no question Cinci has a better line, but that dude straight balled out and smashed defenders on the regular...I would argue that he would have outplayed Sankey with ease last year. As for durability, like you said, time will tell.
