re: Should J.Brazil be groomed at rb too ease depth concerns?

With all the talent and all the possibilities I think we should develop him like a Shep type back.

we have plenty enough depth at RB this year with or without Brzil , with Hillard, Hill, Blue, and Magee. Next year we have HIllard and Magee back plus who ever we sign. Brazil should just move to whatever position his future in the NFL looks best at.

No.

Brazil to DE to use his speed off the edge.

This speaks volumes to the talent Brazil possesses. This kid can be placed at several different positions on both sides of the ball.

Next year we have HIllard

You don't know that

Isn't he the pround poppa of newborn twins?

You never know what goes on in the minds of 20 yr olds.

If we get Fournette and Hilliard has any kind of decent season, he's gone. Kids will be close to two and he'll be looking to cash in because he'd be behind Leonard. If he can get his power back then he might have the best season out of all of them.

Brazil wont just have one position, he'd definitely be a WR/RB and like Shep he'll get his touches. With the new up-tempo offense, we should be running about 15-20 more plays than we've averaged over the last five years.

People forget that if you have quality depth and a great starter at RB, you don't need to give him the rock 20-25 times a game. If the RBs are averaging about 45 carries a game, I could see Hill with 20, Blue with 12, Hilliard with 6 and the remaining 7 split.

In all likelihood they redshirt him unless we lose a guy. And whose to say, even if we take three RBs this year, it doesn't mean he would be at the bottom. The kid played on O and D so he appears to be tough.
