Sorry, but I'm gonna post these RODcasts for a little while until I get it down to a science. I took your suggestions and cut it down to under 10:00. This time focusing only on Pead (with some distractions) in order to generate some feedback. Got Banned PD Clown and Michael Scott in studio tonight, so let me know what you think, yeah? As always, appreciate the feedback.

I like the name -X- factor for these...

I hope Pead gets the carries if Mason is held out. BC is a good back, but more so situationally. Pead is the better lead back.

What do you think Cunningham's limitations are as a lead back, if any?

Much better CGI, without all the nonsense about traffic. Might be easier to do at home with notes in front of you so you can stay on topic. Just the first one, gotta iron out the bugs, I liked it. I'm ready for another one after the Seachicks game.

He catches the ball well. Knows his assignments. Tough runner.

It's a speed issue for me. He lacks the explosiveness you want in the guy getting the standard carries.

So many Michael Scott opportunities in these replies....

I agree about his explosiveness, but I have a hard time qualifying the lack of vision part. But that could be the case if he's constantly plowing straight forward. Pead, on the other hand, might have too much vision - and not in a good way. Meaning, he's not as deliberate and is constantly looking for something else other than that one shot he has through the line.

Think Fisher already named BC the starter, but I expect Pead to see a lot of carries, maybe even split their carries.

Yeah, Tyson would knock Ali, the fuck out.

That's the point. It's a banned PD clown who has no other way to communicate other than annoyance.

Think Cunningham is a better 3rd down back than Pead.But upon the return of Gurley,Mason and Watts, Peas may be trade bait

I'd choose Pead, better vision, speed, explosiveness. Think he'd get 100 yards total, easy. BC, does not see the hole, feel sorry for his GF. BC, may be the better short yardage option, but he hasn't even proved that, not that anyone has, but...

You mentioned it yesterday, Pead can run that wheel route, plus, who would you rather have run the screen? Cig gave us a screen game, already love him for that, and a screen could kill the Hags. You want a home run, or 7 yards? You choose.

Pead is also, not only a backup KR, as is BC, but a backup PR, which I hope we don't need.
