Bring your arms - stop going for the kill shot . . . . . . . .

Just saw this. Our Running game is horrid. Can he help?

Yes. IMO. Claim him, sign him, cut Dotson.

I haven't watched him so I don't know if he's a between the tackles runner or not, but we desperately need help there. Asking Ekeler to continue trying to ram his small frame up the middle is slowing him down on what he's actually good at.

He's a bowling ball type of RB, short but stout, over 200 lb. Not great, but better than Dotson or Spiller, both of whom should not be on an NFL roster.

Here are the rookie highlights for Michael Carter, from 2021. He was the 5th RB taken, in the draft, in the 4th round. He can also catch passes out of the backfield, screens and wheel routes. So Ekeler wouldn't be the only RB they use for that. (They never throw to Kelley.) Hopefully they put a waiver claim in for him. It would be ridiculous not to. Against Detroit both Spiller and Dotson were inactive, both are pretty much useless. Why wouldn't they add an RB who can run through the tackles and gain positive yardage and catch?

The Chargers have to replace Chris Rumph (How do you suffer a season-ending injury in pregame warmups?) and the Raiders just released former Charger Issac Rochell. Give Rochelle a looksee, or bring up Andrew Farmer or Brevin Allen from the PS?

Oh gee, might have been nice to have signed Kyle Ban Noy instead of depending on Chris Rumph. Can’t cure stupid

As has been explained a million times, the problem with our running game is not the RB's. It's the oline and coaching . . . . . . . . . . Carter was the sacrificial lamb - cut to make a point. He also made it easy because he's not played well and took a stupid penalty . . . . . . . . . . . . I don't agree with how Saleh's handled this, but it does tend to 'sharpen' everyone else up. You know - that accountability thing.

Saleh really should have canned the GM for not having a competent backup QB . . . . . . . . . . .not that we should talk

Cause he'd be inactive too?

Don't get me started . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I'd bring Farmer up and see what he can do - and pray none of the top 3 get hurt . . . . . . . . . .
