Let’s go running back, sewn Barkley first.
Bree Hall, Bijon Robinson, Christian mccaffrey.
I know C MC is kind of a tough thing to, to discuss.
I’m out on Breece Hall.
I’m, I’m low on Bruce Hall.
So, yeah, I’m lower on him because I just, the, the Jets had, they’re limited by because Rogers can’t move.
So that limited the run game and I think that was apparent as I watched it is they can’t go outside and it was, they just had indicators right away tendencies right away.
And that, that’s scary.
That’s very scary.
I would have sew be genres kind of my top two in some way.
Yeah.
It’s just how the use the usage is there for both of them.
I think Sekon is in a better ecosystem.
So he might be one for me.
Uh, just because the C MC stuff that’s a lingering injury and he’s had, he, that’s scary though.
Like, that’s just always scary.
Um, and again, there’s just so many miles to feed once he comes back.
Yeah, maybe we go there.
But it’s just that I think the usage of Bijon, he’s gonna get so many touches in the receiving game and the, and the Russian game run game, but then sewn stuff is just, this offense is gonna cook.
We talk about it.
It’s like they’re too good to fail.
Like that’s just, and I just think he’s no matter what it’s gonna get, at least those touches, they’re given a primary usage.
Like it’s not like they split it and this, so see if he’s healthy, he’s the guy I’m with you.
Um, like, you know, if we redrafted today, he’d probably be a top five pick in drafts right now.
Uh Awn Barkley Nate’s got me kind of turning about this, but, yeah, II, I agree.
He’s, he’s for me right now.
Bare minimum, a top five back.
Uh And I think I would rather have him over, like Jonathan Taylor, Jer Gibbs, any of those guys that were drafted ahead of him.
