Nice post, and really nice tidbit of info on Cox......now I am interested in seeing Cox in TC2019. Would love to see a solution develop like they pulled off in Pittsburgh. Thanks and keep posting please. James Connor was born, played high school and college in the Pittsburgh region. He was already in his second year with the Steelers when he "broke out" last season. He was a terrific ACC RB at Pitt, and was player of the year in the ACC. Steelers knew exactly what they were getting in their own backyard when they spent a 3rd round pick on him. If you want all of that solution to develop, it will have to start at next years draft, borrow Pitt's scouting team, and find either a USC or UCLA RB with Conners credentials. You lost me with USC or UCLA RB

Well obviously......because scouts never miss on finding those great can't miss players. Insert some comment about that 6th rd pick QB that has a handful of Super Bowl rings. or better yet, an UDFA TE that just recently completed what looks to be a HOF career.

You lost me with USC or UCLA RB SC was once tailback U. Again, we have 3 UDFA’s and a 7th rounder. Roll the dice |

You lost me with USC or UCLA RB SC was once tailback U. Again, we have 3 UDFA’s and a 7th rounder. Roll the dice Ekeler gained almost 1000 yards, as a reserve player.....Bolts have better options than succumbing to blackmail. TT is wise to relax and watch this play out.

TT is wise to relax and watch this play out. Ekeler is a good change of pace back and can catch. He’s not a replacement for Gordon. That’s gonna be JJ or one of the other UDFA’s. |

Every RB does it in their own way, the point is the production, that can be had with the options already available. Are any of them MG, nope......will the Bolts survive if they do not see MG until week 10, not a doubt about it.

TT is wise to relax and watch this play out. His 958 yards is not Gordon's 1375 yards, and he is not the answer to replace either.
Next.

I thought of Justin Jackson's 8 carries for 63 yds & a TD at Pit.

Ekeler might not be the answer, but there is an answer out there. Simple truth is if MG holds out until week 10, Bolts will just look elsewhere for their RB needs. Will their choice be worse than MG, or better, is something to be discovered.
