What's up with Izzy?  Is he going to be on the roster for tomorrow's game?  I loved this pick at the time and I think he'll contribute if given a chance.  If we want to keep Breece as fresh as possible (which we absolutely should), it wouldn't hurt to get this guy into the rotation.

I love Izzy, but what about Michael Carter? With him, we had 3 running backs for our last game, not to mention Bawden, who was also active for the game, which makes 4 running backs active.  You want to have 5 active?

Way to rain on my parade.  Thanks!

Did Bawden do anything noteworthy...I'm no expert but I don't recall anything much.  

He blocked for our running backs, and for Zach.  We don't have the tape to show how he did, but my guess is that he was an important piece of the puzzle, and he will be active again for week #2.

Have to believe he will be the lead back if we are going to "Ground and Pound".   Wouldn't hurt to have a back to pick up the rush when they pass.

He also blocks on special teams, as seen on the Gipson game-winning TD.

He’ll be active once/if the offense stagnates and they need more explosive HR hitters out of the backfield. You eventually have to find a way to get 4.3 speed on the field. 

Not when you have 3 backs ahead of him that are better.  Same for will mcdonald.  He aint playing much either unless there is an injury.  Heck there was an injury and he didnt play much.

There is a ton of talent on the roster.  Unless ur an immediate all pro type player like sauce and garrett, you are sitting year 1.

This offseason, they will get on the program like jermaine did and they will be ready to contribute year 2.

I think Izzy’s better than Michael Carter. He’s more explosive than both Carter & Cook. If he proves he can pass block, he’ll see the filed.

And who, exactly, ought to be thanked for that?

I heard yesterday that the reason Izzy isn't in the lineup is because his pass blocking is not up to par.  They're working with him on that.

Yeah like that’s going to help things.  Play him and throw him screen passes.  That’s how you help an offense, put speed on the field.

He was in for a great play call by Hackett. He lined up in front of Zach and led what looked like a run to the left side. Zach kept the ball on a nice fake and hit a wide open TE on the right side for a good gsin
