Will he recover from his injury on time? Will he have a set back? Will he get injured again? If he goes on IR/gets cut who will get his spot? Gaskin or Ahmed?

If Mostert is cut/ goes on IR what do you see our RB room looking like?

I see

Michel
Edmonds
Gaskin

PS

Ahmed
Zaquandre White

I sued to think Doaks would get something but I've been watching some Zaq and he's better than Doaks by a good margin.
 
Seems like they are expecting him to be ready for the season. But if he can't go, they roll with Edmonds and Michel. Agree that Gaskin is likely 3rd, and I like what there is to see of White, but way too early to really tell much. They might even sign somebody else if Mostert can't go.

Guys been rehabbing cartilage surgery for like 10 months now, what is the deal man?

I don't see any info on the procedure that he had, but if he lost articular cartilage in his knee, it seems likely he had an osteochondral allograft transplant - which is what I have had. Basically, you get cartilage from a cadaver transplanted into your knee and they plug the open hole of missing cartilage. I had a meniscus transplant also done with mine, but regardless it's a relatively intensive procedure with a 6-12 month timetable before you're a full go. With that said, with everything I have read about his recovery, it sounds like he's back to good health. I won't say full health because this kind of surgical procedure might not ever leave you in tact the same way you were before.

I am unconvinced Gaskin will be on the team at his current salary.

This were I am at. Clear to me that Edmonds and Michel are ahead. The Mostert if healthy. Even if Mostert is not ready at best Gaskin is 3rd. But by how much? Is it 1.6 million in a difference? I would just roll with White or Ahmed as the third and roll over the 1.6 for next year.

The thing is he has never shown that he can be all that great. He has never carried the most times for his team and has not produced well either. I think expecting him to do so now is being hopeful and having blind faith in his abilities, as he has not shown us he can yet.

I don't disagree with your assessment, that he was brought in to be the ball dominant back, I just don't know if he will fair any different than Jordan Howard, Matt Breida, or Malcolm Brown when they were brought in to do the same for this team.

The one silver lining is his per carry average which is usually around 5 ypc. Hopefully he can keep that average up while carrying most of the load.

I would bet the mortgage Mostert makes the the initial 53 man roster even if he was injured. Chris Grier would rather cut off a limb than admit he made a mistake on a player this quickly.
