Finally Marrone and Co. are going to have their RBs now.
Think about it, they have their QB, WRs and are in the process of molding the OL to their version. It is clear CJ is not the kind of RB they preferred. Jackson is forced to take on a bigger role than they wanted.
Hence the attempt to trade up for Carlos Hyde in the draft and the eventual trade of Bryce Brown.
Dixon looks like the type RB they like, almost always 5 yard on 1st down carries. Just does not have the explosiveness. Now listening to Dixon post game, he's almost giddy about the opportunity he's going to have now that both CJ and Jackson are out.
It's certainty they will sign some RB into their 53 by Tuesday. 3rd down back is the key - Jackson is ideal for that role. Now they have to change up some. I feel they have to design something to take all that pressure of blitz and rush pressure instead of just asking the backs to pickup blocking.
