My guess was Pepe is gonna get IR'd. If you keep Kevon, Daryl, or Ardarius, who are you cutting?

Don't know anything about Vokoleks blocking capabilities. If he was a monster blocker than maybe but I doubt it right now. Seems like a prime PS guy.

Yeah you're just using Roman level data and that's why you're coming to the wrong conclusion. I would have thought the same thing as you prior to camp. But this offense is different.

They are obviously taking it slow with Gus, no reason to work him hard pre season given his previous ACL, and then hamstring issue from last year, and they already know what he’s capable of. Again, people, including writers, put too much into what goes on in camp and pre season, especially given the the CBA has restricted what they can do.
I think you’ll see come September who is ahead of who, and barring injury Gus will be over Hill.

Hooty Brown could be the OC, lol Gus is still the more accomplished and proven player.

But that is a fact. Gus Edwards is the more accomplished and proven rusher. I don't think there's anyone who would disagree with that.
That being said, Monkens philosophy is players in space. That is Hill way more than it is Gus. Subsequently, Hill has rolled with the 1s the entire camp and then was given the start on the PS game with an early exit.
Gus came in later also with limited action. I don't think anyone thinks Gus is going to be cut, but I'd very much expect him to be a situational guy this year far more than he has been.
Hill is probably RB2 in this offense.

I think you guys put too much into “rolled with the 1s” and other things from camp. Just my opinion, but with RBs and even other vets, I think pre season usage means very little.
We’ll see how it shakes out come September, and Dobbins’ situation clouds things even further.
Not totally convinced on Mitchell yet so him for now. Certainly understand the appeal but just feel like guys like him exist all over the place - are quick and shifty but if hands get in them they’re down.
If they were just taking it slow, he wouldn’t have played at all yesterday.

An article I read said just that, that he probably wouldn’t play, and he played very little. They are definitely taking it slow with him, and many other vets as well. That’s how pre season goes. lol

I agree. We've thought it was gonna be 4 RBs because of Gordon signing and the JK situation and generally being lower on Justice. But I think they're actually really confident in our top 3 RBs.
Means as you said that you could keep an Ardarius or Kevon. Or Hamm. Or maybe Hamm gets a spot outright instead of signing a Clowney. Idk.
Next 2 games are gonna be interesting, primarily for Keaton and Hamm imo

We just know he's really big, so he's probably got some blocking potential

i still remember what our resident Jet fan said about him, so that's even more motivation....for us atleastOffensive line spotlight: Ravens offensive tackle Daniel Faalele was the highest-graded offensive lineman from the contest.

i agree with this statement. I'm just hoping he's a little better than just a quick and shifty rb.
yeah and im not as convinced as others are that mitchell showed that he deserves to be on the roster unless he's potentially in a competition with duv for returning duties
but you're ignoring the fact that hill has been repping with the 1s and gus the 2s in practice too - if this was a let's see what he's got... gus wouldnt have been playing at all (let alone deep into the 3rd quarter)
hill's absolutely not on the bubble
