He hasn't been giving alot of opportunities either, but imo thats on him and possibly a lack of work ethic Its Ollison's fault that this coaching staff forced Gurley on the field as much as possible. I'm not saying he will be a stud or anything but it was pretty obvious this former coaching staff were set in there ways Herr Doktor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you have another point of view, im definitely game to hear you out?? Im always down to learn from another point of view I dont think theres no way the team needs a total rebuild. You’d be surprised with the subtraction of 4-6 guys and the addition of 4-6 guys what a difference the team would look like.

hjerry 26,561 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Gurley and Hill are UFAs and wouldn't be worth even the vet min to resign Keith Smith saves us ~700,00 to release Ito Smith saves us ~900,000 to release Qadree Ollison saves ~800,000 to release I'm sure all three will be evaluated, and I could see a scenario where all three are released, all are given a chance in camp, or a mix of the two.

No one should be safe I believe that Smith will let Gurley, Ollison go , for the first step of cutting the Waist.. I do think that the rest will at least make it till after the draft. Then I think they will let go of one or two more Backs.. But I do not think they will let Hill go... I think with that chance he finally got,, Will cause Smith to keep Hill at least one more year. The other backs, I'm not sure at all what Smith will do or not do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I don't get a lot of people on here.. WE all know that Hill has not had but that one whole game to play in,, and then he only got about 75% of the carries.. And look how he did.. ?? I'd say that Smith will watch that game and know good and well, that having a back that good with that kind of play... I'll say it right now... Hill will at least get one more year to prove his self , And he'll getter done.. Smith will be looking at the film , and the film don't lie. That's the truth with my hands up ... Smith will be looking at all the tapes on the backs and will go from there.. But yes.. I sure hope we draft another back this year.. But we don't need to draft a late round Back.. WE need a top sure nuff number one Back. Just one,, Or if you want to look at it like this, One of at least three backs . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m merely saying with him being a UDFA and us being cap strapped not sure we will allocate a new contract there. We shall see. He showed enough to get a deal somewhere though for sure. He exceeded my expectations this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But IMO is getting better every time he has more carries. He IMO is just now starting to feel the game,, each time he plays.. Who knows what his limit is??? I think Smith will find out what His limit is with at least one more year.... One nice thing about is.. even if this team let's Hill go.. He'll have many teams trying to jerk his arm off by grabbing and signing him.. But as all here know.. I love the underdogs, and especially RBs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying he is the answer, I want Najee, but it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if Ito showed out with the chance. Edited January 17 by CraigSmackDaddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
