Truthfully from all accounts Dillon is in better shape and feeling great compared to last couple years. I wouldn’t be shocked at all if we see him be the teams #2 but I expect it’s gonna be a Jacobs RB1 and Dillon and Lloyd by years end RB2a/b
I’m not saying it cannot be done, I’m just saying MLF system doesn’t ask any of those types to do that. I actually think Sims is likely to be kept over Davis.
Yup and I put his floor at a Jamaal Williams type depth guy. Which is not shabby either. I mean this from a production point not that they are built the same.
Correct his YPG is also impacted due to he's never received brunt of the work....his yards per carry is quite good truthfully...and that is after last year which gave that figure a signficant hit.
I truly never expected Dillon to replace Jones as I see two very different backs HOWEVER, I agree I strongly think Dillon is healthier and more amped for this season than in the past. Truthfully be awesome to have a guy that wants to stay prove worthwhile at the RB 2/3 spot and FB/Hback TE spot...
The talk of Dillon is here so apologies for going away from Lloyd for a second but folks know I was a massive critic of Dillon last year - from the jump I felt his burst was missing and his tenacity for the first time in his short career. But folks acting like he is a castaway that Wilson will...
I personally bet that Dillon has less a chance of getting cut than Myers does or McDuffie...or Slaton. Cutting any would be asininely dumb IMO from a roster structure and what you have in any of them relative to their contracts and experience.
It is the difference in actual cap savings. Given the unique contract GB will actually pay him more than the cap hit. Meaning yes, GB the organization will save up to that estimated 2.5M number however that isn't 2.5M that can slide to an additional player as they only are against the cap for a...
I also have decent intel that if Dillon shows out that he can be more of a flex type piece, he has a strong desire to sign a multi-year team friendly deal. He has never hidden the fact he loves GB and wants to be here long term. Now what exactly does that look like - who knows. But if he is...
That contract structure means if you cut him before the 53, you don't "save anywhere close to 2.5M. I wrote my buddy about this as it is a unique item, Packers actually will pay him more than what his hit will ever be - so while they might "save more" they truly don't save any additional because...
None of that counters any thought I shared...no one is expected Dillon to be asked to be the second most productive back as Lloyd will progress his way into the offense and likely be the clear #2 at some point....also investing in Jacobs didn't change anything either - Jones was the clear #1...
Strongly disagree. We don't have a single RB that knows and understands the system here other than him. He arguably is our best pass blocking RB on our roster as well. He also is the leading candidate to be more of a moving HBack TE type as well, which I was petitioning for last year and the...
Fans of GB however have to live with this type of defense will always be more susceptible to a big play than Barry's was. I'm here for it and ready, but I bet we hear issues with that aspect when it happens.
