DJ is back - but we got Drake

[ARZCardinals]

I think DJ is finally feeling the heat with Drakes performance

Hopefully he steps up - or I hope they put DJ to bed

At this point I see NO reason to start DJ over Drake

Drake had an AMAZING, again AMAZING performance vs. a stout 9ers team. He was breaking tackles, running 2X's as fast as DJ and looks like a REAL RB.

I have NO ISSUE sending DJ to pasture other than Keim's contract he gave him

Feel the heat DJ - feel it!

I'll take Edmonds and Drake as our 1 and 2 punch next year and be happy as can be....then build the O line.

I really want Drake to do well but writing off DJ and putting all your eggs into Drake after a single game is quite silly.

Edmonds too. Edmonds has flashed skill but I have major reservations about considering him a #1. I think he is a fantastic #2.

 

[Dr. Jones]

What? You gotta play both man. Like 75 to 85% of all snaps. Play them both!

 

[Rohinaz]

You get them both on the field. DJ has been great in the passing game and I think he will get back on track in the running game.

Feed the beast!

Ridiculous thinking. DJ knows the system and has been productive all season long. Drake played out of his mind, but in a situation where no one thought it was possible for the Cards to produce at RB, and wasn't part of the gameplan.

As usual your out of your mind

 

[ARZCardinals]

I think y’all read me wrong
Love DJ but he hasn’t produced in years
Now with drake he’s feeling the heat and I hope he can return...I highly doubt it...his speed is 1/2 of Drake and he’s had 1/3 the heart drake or Edmonds has shown

They gotta use em both now, but I’m not tied to DJ like o was when the year started
I can see his as past tense very soon

 

[devilalum]

Put DJ in the slot.

The same guy that had 600 yards of offense and 5TDs prior to the ankle in 6.5 games wasn’t producing? Rigghhhht!!!!

Exactly how many years have we had DJ and how many years of those didn't he produce?

Suddenly putting both Johnson and Drake on the field at the same time isn't really doable if the playbook isn't designed for both to be on the field at the same time and when was the last time you saw both Johnson and Edmonds in the backfield at the same time this season?. They are not going to rewrite the playbook just to add another RB onto the field. In all likely hood Johnson and Drake will split time at RB. Asking Johnson to suddenly be a slot receiver when he hasn't been one isn't realistic either. He doesn't know the routes the slot receiver needs to know and the times he has been in the slot are few and limited to the ones designed for him in that role.

Two is better than one. Play both of them.

Start them both. Use DJ like a faster Larry Centers.

 

[TRW]

Edmonds is hurt (hamstring). They will play DJ and Drake a lot. Drake had a good outing against SF but it is just one game.

DJ has lost a bit of his flash but is still a really good back.

Lol. Typical fan craziness.

I can only imagine what a DC might be thinking with DJ & Kenyan both on field while accounting for K1 sprinkled in with those Isabella decoys

Well the DC doesn't need to worry about Fitz so not as difficult as one would expect.

 

[Chopper0080]

We need more of these roster problems.

Is that you Bickley? lol

 

[Cheesebeef]

the correct title of this thread should be:

DJ is back AND we got Drake!

Both of those guys are major weapons and should be schemed to be on the field in a two-RB set as much as possible.

 

[bojack]

I would be interested in seeing both on the field in a split back set, 20 or 21 personnel. Since they can both receive and run it could make for some interesting opportunities for both run and pass if KM can dissect the presnap read. You essentially have 3 running options out there to cover and not knowing which will RB will release or both. Also allowing DJ to lineup wide with Drake in the backfield without allowing substitution.

This all works if Murray runs alot more then he has in recent games. Everytime there is a called QB run, that drive is successful. The need to have 3 RBs out there, DJ, Drake, and Murray!

 

[Dingding]

Should be interesting. Not sure about DJ playing WR as he seems to make his plays against linebackers
