Two new Running Backs you should watch video and see two quality backs.

I dont have much hope for Doaks, but Scarlett is interesting. He's got great athletic ability and looks like most of his issues were off the filed stuff.
 
Scarlett has already been in the league two years and has failed to make any kind of a dent (4 total carries). He's kind of slow footed as his 3 cone and shuttle times were awful. Add in lousy hands and some serious character concerns and I think you have the longest of long shots. If he has a path to the team, it has to be in beating Malcolm Brown out of a spot for short yardage back, but unless his hands have improved... I have my doubts. I'd assess his chances at less than 1%, and think he'll be the first RB cut.

I think we should keep a close eye on Jordan Scarlett in camp and in preseason and whether if he has natural hands.. cause if he does, Doaks won’t be here for long..jmo

doaks runs very awkwardly, that being said our RB group is below average and as a 7th round pick he has a chance to make the team.
 
The one area i wish this F.O. would have invested more seriously in.
I get the impression that group is going to minimize this offense potential this season.
Hope, I'm wrong here.

Dont know what u define as awkward, but what i think u meant was he may not be as fluid as other backs. Heck, many people even criticized Najee Harris for running too high and not low enough, but what do you expect for guys of that size... I can say this though, at 6'0 230 lbs, Doaks runs great between the tackles, makes a few guys miss, hes tough to tackle, and has pretty decent speed to go on the outside. Our team is long over due for having a good big back and I think the FO had a plan to get one in the late rounds... i really think Doaks sticks around for awhile and makes the team.
 
If one of these two sticks around and make a decent contribution to our team it will be great. I think Soaks has w better chance to be the one. We shall see!
 
I love the potential that Doaks shows. He has plus plus hands. I just think Gaskins is going to break out this year. His production per games played was top ten. I had Patriots fans telling me how lucky we were to have him because they were watching his production in their fantasy leagues. I believe that we have a solid backfield this season.

It’s funny to see you guys ripping us while other fans are envious of us. I feel like a lot of you guys just want to see Rogers at QB and Henry RB and Hopkins at WR and numbers are all that matters. I want to see us win. I don’t think anyone on this team cares about individual numbers. Tua, Gaskins, Waddle. I think that it’s all about winning. I like that.

That’s an interesting thought on him Feverdream but I wouldn’t discount his speed, tackle breaking and field vision. I’m not that concerned with a three cone time when I see those attributes. I’d give him more than a 1% chance but I do think Gaskin and Brown are locks, so he’ll have a battle.
 
I will be extremely surprised if either of them make the final 53. I just don’t think they are better than the top 4 RB’s on the team but they will have a chance to prove me wrong.
