Falcons Fan MVP Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 How well do you think Brian Hill and Quadree Ollison would do if they were are starting running backs? With Itto getting a concussion you have to wonder what would happen if Ollison and Hill were our running backs. Do you think our rushing attack would improve? I think we need a power rushing attack. Ollison and Hill could do that. I think we should probably cut Free or Itto after this season and use Ollison and Hill if they're ready. So do you guys think Ollison and Hill could carry the load if needed? Or do you think they probably aren't starting caliber backs? .

LouDog Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) Between the two i think Hill would be more effective than Ollison. I don't think either would be an upgrade to Freeman and Ito though.

It's like asking whether Matt Moore would do better than Patrick Mahomes. There's a reason why teams do depth charts and why teams start their best players. It's called common sense.

Well, I agree with Hill over Ollison,, When Olli had the chance , he just don't seem comfortable ,, He's not ready,, But I do think Hill is ready,, And as I've said,, I was Freeman's biggest fan when he was in the same place that Hill is today.. And Freeman could get it done at the point ,, But Free is IMO done... I said that before the season started.. Sure , he had a few flames left,, But now they have fizzled out.. It's time for a young RB ready to go,, Not to mention any names,, His initials are Brian Hill.. He is the back that is ready now... we need to give Ollison another off season to get used to the Pro game and learning the ropes.. JMO.

Maybe it's because Freeman is getting the big money and itto is being groomed to be his possible replacement. I think we need a power back in there like Ollison.

How did that work out? Kazee did really well. I just think they should mix in Ollison as a change of pace back. And I hope Ollison and Hill can help us if free or itto misses a game because of injuries. Both of them have had issues with injuries. papachaz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, Ito is just freeman-lite. ⚡Slumerican⚡, papachaz, Jerz and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast-N-Da-Sheetz Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Man this is football. Anything is possible. Mike Smith didn't think Freeman would be an upgrade over Stephen Jackson. papachaz and red falcon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octoslash Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 It's a long season. We'll see all the running backs at some point, whether it be because of injury, or god forbid...we find ourselves 3-9 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's really hoping, but Smith is coming back from an ACL, which usually doesn't bring back production the following season. Freeman has been injured since the Super Bowl.

MAD597 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Ollison and Ito are the best combination we could use. Hill and Freeman are very similar and equally non effective. Faithful Falcon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSalmon Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I won’t say that I wish for either free or ito to get hurt. A healthy Free is a good thing and ito has surprised me. i will say that I think Ollison would being a nice physicality element with his size and running style.

mattyicefalcon Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Then Matt will throw 60x in a game. Still wouldnt matter because our swiss cheese defense cant hold on to any lead or create turonvers. Not sure when was the last time we had pick 6??!! I believe it was all in 2016 in Superbowl run.
