I actually don't care who they have run it, as long as it's not a TE or David Moore.

Good Lord, the David Moore love was baffling to me! I imagine that teams were rolling coverage to the guys that were more likely to hurt them, but I was so sick of seeing Hollister and Moore come up two or three yards short of the sticks all the time! It was like Wilson was in love with the two of them. The amount of wasted targets on them so we could punt it anyway just baffled me.

Hollister would have the first down easy, and then just get blown the fuck up short! That guy had twenty times more heart than he did body. Wyman used to say that watching him leave the locker room after a game was like watching someone walk away from a car crash. He was just beaten to shit.

Pretty sure I saw Hollister signed with someone today. Both those guys were ok, but you're right - the way they were used was moronic. Moore was actually a real solid #5 WR (we could've used him last year), but instead they used him like he was Percy Harvin or something. Drove me nuts seeing the worst and slowest WR on the roster get the 'fast guy' plays. And did I make that up about the TE? I swear there was one or two jet sweeps to either Fant or Dissly. *EDIT* looked it up - Dissly had one carry in 2019, that must be what I'm thinking of.

I could have sworn Fant had some carries last year but it isn't in the stats. It must have been someone else or they were shovel passes and didn't count as rush attempts.

Shovel passes definitely don't count.

Greg Bell was on earlier and was really touting how Tre Brown and Michael Jackson have been looking in camp. He thinks there's a good chance Reek could be riding the pine to start the season.

Also, apparently Charbonnet participated in practice yesterday.

I think you are right, I think there were a few shovel passes to TEs. That is kind of common though. The Chiefs and Chargers do it a lot, and Fant does have the athleticism to be compared to Kelce and Everett I guess. Not sure those plays had much success for us though.

We need to bring George Fant back for the fly sweeps....

Nothing better than when a fat guy gets a carry

Now McIntosh is out after spraining a knee in the scrimmage on Friday evening. They might actually enter the season with Dallas and Taluapapa the only healthy RBs. I find it hard to understand how these guys can make it through a college season but can't get through a week of training camp (or in Walker's case a day).

Perhaps they should draft three RBs instead of two next year.

as predicted by me over and over during the off-season. But NEXT season is Olu, right??

They released the depth chart and there are some interesting tidbits - they only mean so much until they play in some games, though. Bobo looks like he's impressing everybody and will make the team. What stood out to be is Ben Burr Kirven listed 2nd string. Wasn't he released??? I remember being all sad about his career being officially over. Having watched that guy since I think his freshman year at UW and seeing him grow, I'd be so happy to see him make a successful comeback.
