I see alot of arguments on Twitter about Rachaad not deserving the hate and that Bucky’s yards have come off of gadget plays
Honest to God you cannot keep trotting out the same RB that has seen multiple different offensive schemes and attempts to fix the O-line and has shown zero signs of improvement. Bucky at least looks for the hole, Rachaad just tucks his head and tries to barrel through
If the only positive that comes out of yesterday’s debacle is that Rachaad finally, mercifully gets relegated to the 3rd down back role that’s a good enough silver lining for me. Whites skillset is perfect to return kicks, run jet sweeps catch passes out of the slot, all that. He’s not a good ball carrier and we have close to 40 games of evidence of that fact now. Enough is enough.
As an Oregon fan I wasn’t sure if he’d be able to take the hits the NFL dishes out but so far so good. He had 1K+ yards in ’22 and ’23 with avgs of 6.8 and 6.3 yards per carry. He’s explosive and can burn you for 50-60 yard runs. He’d be a great 1st/2nd down option.
RB1 for Bucky, yet I got dumped on last week for pointing this inevitability out.
rwhite is a great player who should be part of our gameplan….
…
….
as a third down back.
Lets all watch as they start to run bucky on those damn predictable inside zone runs where he gets hit in the backfield half the time and we’ll all complain that he sucks too. I love our RB room but sometimes it seems like we bang our heads against the all on the inside runs and every time we do something creative with bucky it gains positive yards and then we automatically think Rachaad just stinks.
White is best in the passing game, he’s great with screens and dump passes, but as a straight line runner he has zero vision and just runs into our lineman half the time. Bucky is way more explosive as a runner it seems so I’m excited to see how this pans out.
Bucky is the obvious answer for the RB1 slot, Rachaad is much better for screens and short yardage passes
