Brian Robinson

CRod so far in his career averages just a tad under 5 yards a carry. I actually think he may be better than BRob.

Our most dangerous runner is #5. One more quality Oline addition in off-season plus Cosmi and Coleman having another year to improve and unning game will be good enough.

CRod has 86 carries in 2 seasons (35 in one season with us). BRob has 565 in 3. It's not unusual for a situational/back up player to have good per play stats but coaches see things in practice etc. that tell them the guy isn't an every down player, except in an emergency. BRob isn't a long term solution much as I like the guy, but CRod isn't that replacement.

He needs glasses. He has zero vision. He either doesn't see the hole, or he has no patience... or both. He definitely has taken a step back. I would be on the lookout for an upgrade at that position along with many others, but O-line and the defense should be the priority.

Those are fair points but when he is given a chance to really carry the ball he always has production. He has better vision than BRob, seems to me like a more natural pure runner, always going downhill, no nonsense.

But when I look at our team, RB is far down the list. I'd rather invest in the o-line, get better road graders. I don't like Coleman at tackle. I'd slide him down to LG and try and find a real franchise LT.

If we learned anything from the Eagles this year it’s that line play on both sides of the ball can set you up to dominate.

Sure Barkley is a great back but a lot of guys would have monster seasons running behind that line.

I’d like to upgrade from Robinson but priority number one should be building up the OL.

This.

I felt like we saw what Robinson should look like when Ekeler is on the field, but Ekeler is not a bell-cow running back anymore. I love Ekeler and I want to keep him but I like him as a change-of-pace back.

But yes building the lines should be priority.

This. ALL this.

BRob has a place on the team, but he isn’t a starter

We need more speed out the backfield

Agreed.....

Wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Still on the rookie contract, he can be depth if we manage to upgrade the position.

Either way though the primary issue was the offensive line getting inadequate push down the stretch. I'd spend my resources in the trenches. We should be pursuing more size.
