I give a D for the FB position, run blocking from this unit has been really bad, these guys are supposed to make a way for the RB to follow, block some tacklers, help the O-line and identify very well the holes in the D-line and I havent seen that since C Mart was the rushing leader in the NFL but I guess Anderson and Sowell were the guys in that year, most of the times I have seen our currents FB's get stopped near the goal line while Barlow/Houston/Washington followed them to that point only to get stopped for a 2 or 1 yard gains. Barlow and Houston are not cutback guys they seem slow hitting sides so maybe Houston is good for short yardage downs through the middle and Leon is our pace changing RB, in fact our FB crew must be upgraded/replaced and Barlow/Blaylock should be replaced too, while we could stay with Leon and give another chance to Houston.
agree with most of the posters statements with the following exceptions QB-Open competition - CP was great this year but Clement should be giving a fair chance. RB-Free Agency-add Michael Turner he will make the play action passing game much more effective. WR-We need a guy with 4.3 speed and can catch. That will end the defense putting 8 men in the box. LG- We need a young guy backing up Kendell NG-we need a huge guy to stuff the middle ? think about trading Robertson? CB- We need to look to free agency for help!
I don't know why everyone loves Turner that much. I would rather draft a RB in the first round. I think Turner reminds me a lot of Lamont Jordon because he was a backup to a great player.
our run blocking has sucked all year. not saying we have to do runningback by committee but our run blocking sucks.
