Tracker Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 18 minutes ago, JuranBoldenRules said: Oliviera's readiness is one of the bigger worries for me. I mean ultimately you want the guy good to guy when the games matter most, but we sure haven't seen anyone else in the RB role look even remotely capable the past couple seasons (like from 21 training camp to now). No run game = a much higher degree of difficulty for Collaros. Possibly, but Collaros is the perfect QB to utilize a six-pack receiver set and we ought to have the best O-line in the league to give him the extra three seconds.

Goldkobra Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Just speculation, maybe Lawler missed a court date, given that he was in edmonton last season and now has an unresolved contempt of court charge that has to be cleared up.

Doesn't really work like that when Collaros isn't a runner. Sure he's a scrambler. A QB in that situation takes a beating. You use jet sweeps to keep the DL back on their heels a bit, but you need a running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Doubt anything more will be released about Lawler, so is what it is. Other guys will just have to step up in his abscence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I figured it could be, the timing makes sense. Perhaps he’s out until he can make court again, but it’s speculation like you said.

I mean if you are running bunch packages and moving the pocket and disguising the wr who blocks he’s very well inclined. But our offense isn’t set up like that and it’s much better off with a rb. It’s a huge health risk that just isn’t worth while. We’d be much better off dipping the ratio starting an imp rb and bringing Brady’s touches up slowly.

Though they didn’t get much of an opportunity so far. Hopefully that changes soon. If not, imp rb is an easy position to recruit.

If, like you suggest, 'most people on the forum' have drawn the same wrong conclusion, then you are proving that having the most people on your side doesn't mean you are right.

Colin Unger Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Probably not a huge savings considering he took less for this season. But makes me wonder if it might inch them a little closer to being able to afford Lemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
