RB Carlos Hyde Thread

Hunter played quite competently as a rookie if I recall. He was given carries to spell Gore here & there and made a few pretty good runs. Why can't Hyde do the same (even though a different back than Hunter)? Frankie isn't as spry as 3 years ago so he'll need a little more spelling but Hyde should be up to the task. RB is normally considered an easier position for rookies to contribute right away and he was a workhorse in college.

~ Hunter out.
~ Lattimore already hurt.
~ LMJ we know what we got here.
~ Gore starting to wear down. Late in the season he is getting worse.

I think Hyde is our best hope. He better improve his pass blocking pick ups and learn how to catch out of the backfield. I believe he can run if you watch him play in college.

Hopefully Carlos Hyde comes in hungry and motivated. The opportunity to for him to shine is there.

Both Hyde and James will be motivated big time if they weren't already so.

This opens up immediate playing time for Hyde and since James is in his last year under contract he'll have an opportunity to show other teams what he has to offer.

As USUAL, I'm still very skeptical of Roman's willingness to use James to his strengths.

Without knowing for sure, I believe LMJ has two years left on his contract. When the new rookie wage scale was put into place, I want to say all rookies but I know 2nd rounders are given 4 year deals. He was drafted in the second round of the 2012 draft. This season is his 3rd season in the NFL. I agree with you on Roman not using him to his strengths.

I could be wrong - I'm sure someone will let us know for sure.
