Hyde was one of the most effective backs in the NFL last year based on the various available metrics. A RB with chronic ankle issues is highly unlikely to be the selection, especially in Shanahan's offense where they grab a random guy off the street and he becomes a 1,000 yard rusher.
What Hyde needs most is a competent passing offense and a quality #2 back to split carries with.
And a @#$%^&* FB!
Adding Juice and Zuttah is going to be huge for him.
Yup, the reconstituted OL is going to make for a lot of lesser and lighter hits on Carlos, and wiht jusczyk blowing out the guy standing in the hole, 2nd level, Carlos may see a lot less injuries this yr. More Yds/carry, also. The upgrade at C, the ZUT, is going to help out in a similar matter. We were dying for a FB last yr, and now we not only have one but the best one and the coach to use him just right. Not too bitter, not too sweet. But just right. IF OUCH is nailing a MLB all game long, i don't think that will be an enviable position. Guy may get a bit gunshy. More Carlos yards.
Bad to be so anxious already that i can't wait to see this O on the field, but no draft yet, adn i can''t wait.
