If McD Keeps Four Spots For Running Backs...

[Charlie Rivers]

...who will win the fourth spot?

Myles Gaskin has my vote! You?

 

[EPBro]

I don't think it's a certainty Michel makes the roster with Mostert being at full speed early in camp.

I could see Edmonds, Mostert, Gaskin, Doaks.

Did you not see Gaskins get steam rolled trying to pass block against TB backups. I think he has probably played his last season in Miami.

 

[arge13]

Doaks? Not a chance.

Michel is a good #2, and would make a tremendous #3.

Very good blocker, plus good insurance for Mostert.

 

[royalshank]

I say Edmunds, Mustard, Michel and Gaskin

Doaks and Ahmed are gone. Gaskin playing time wayyyy reduced though

 

[TFK]

Edmonds, Mostert, Michel and Ingold.


But I think they keep 5 and Gaskin sticks around. I think having an actual competent coaching staff will do wonders for him.

Doaks over Sony? What is the rationale for that? Sony is a proven, more than serviceable back. Doaks is not, and I don't see a whole lot of ceiling there to justify a decision like that.

Yeah I think it will be Gaskin.

Michel is making the team and will probably be the starter at some point in the season. He's a reliable veteran and winning player.

I would say he ads versatility to the backfield as a thumper.

But frankly, Ahmed is a better scheme fit as a runner in this O than Michel, Gaskin, White or Doaks.

OK, I have to ask, when has Doaks shown anything? You can say he hasn't had the opportunity, and I would agree with that. You can say you like an underdog story, and I can empathize. But to say he is a better "between the tackles" thumper than Michel, is making a statement with no supporting evidence.

Ahmed is definitely faster/quicker than Gaskin, but he is not as complete, and redundant in this running back room, IMO.

 

[EasyRider]

I don’t have a vote. This is McDaniel‘s specialty. I’m fine with who he chooses

Doakes???

Yeah right..they’re keeping Gaskin over Michel.
