Pead is safe...he did a team friendly restructure....Watts is in trouble....And if I had my way, Chase Reynolds...
Pead is a gunner, kick off returner, back up RB, 3rd down back, pass blocks better than most of them, has more speed than all of them...Coming off an injury...And the coach brings up his name in interviews...what else says, on the team more than all these things combined?
Disagree that Pead is safe, Champ.
On many levels. Unless he has compromising photos of Fisher, or something.
Our 3rd string RB, Cunningham, has had GAMES with more rushing yardage than Pead has had in his 3 year CAREER.
I've been re watching some games, and Watts is frequently seen making key plays, often for critical 1st downs. I think that's important to Fisher, so I wouldn't discount Watts so quickly.
Cunningham is a better KR than Pead.
I think BC is a better 3rd down back than Pead, and with 2 years of on field production to prove it.
Pass blocking is no longer a Pead advantage. Gurley, Mason, and Cunningham all now can do it.
Speed is no big Pead advantage, either. All 4 other backs have plenty of speed, and have proven it on the field.
Coming off the ACL is hardly a Pead advantage, is it? Quite the contrary.
You point out that Fisher is constantly mentioning Pead in interviews. Isn't it possible that Fisher intends to showcase Pead to enhance a trade offer possibility?
Like I said to
@iced, unless Pead blows the doors off in this preseason, I think he's a goner.
He's our 4th string RB and is very replaceable on ST.
