    Eh, doubt either one of them would've had much of an impact on the win column last year. OL and QB were beyond terrible.

    Might have won us that Browns game. Not much was needed to secure the win.

    lost 5 games by a score or less, IMO Hyde absolutely breaks off a run Sankey got tackled in the backfield on

    Bottom line...Imagine this team with Jeremy Hill and Mariota....With backups like West/Cobb/Andrews....It would be filthy

    Doubt thats our team. Hyde changes things for Andrews, he'd be a Bill right now IMO if we had Hyde all along. Andrews is a poor mans Hyde, or at least thats the hope..

    And West probably isn't here either, he's a lot like Hyde himself... Cobb is hard to say since we drafted him, so his fate isn't tied to Hyde as much, but who knows..

    Yeah naturally it would be different. Personally, I was bigger on Hill than Hyde. I still am to be honest. That said, Sankey has A WHOLE LOT play to prove...I am really hoping he just starts to ball out and get it...

    beefier line should only help him, but Im tired of talking up Sankey, time to put up or shut up

    Do you not agree that he's looked MUCH improved through preseason and the first game? He's no Adrian Peterson...but I think he's caught on and is feeling the heat from the other backs. He knows its not a good thing that other RBs are being brought in.

    I think he just had such a lousy OLine he never stood a chance... He's not a physical RB like West/Andrews/Cobb, for Sankey to be effective he's got to be able to run cleanly, he cant have guys draped all over him in the backfield and work...

    I can see that. The way i picture Sankey, he CAN run through tackles, but can't break tackles if he's not already moving.

    Not too many RBs have a chance when getting hit at the handoff or shortly after. The OLine is still shakey, but inproved,IMO.
