RB room post Gainwell

Post by Jizz Mop » Mon Mar 09, 2026 9:04 pm

Well…

Sucks he left…I mean he was pretty damn good

So now Warren and last year’s dud Johnson are the stable

Johnson needs to show everyone why he was taken in the 3rd….he showed me little in limited action

Gotta add to that….what are we thinking? Low level FA or mid draft pick?

I’m thinking Dowdle or a 3rd round pick. I like the Penn State backs.

In their current state, I hate everything about this organization.

That would be a great pickup.

For nostalgia, I watched Gainwell highlight reel from last season. Making guys miss, acceleration, hands, he was good last year.

Warren and Gainwell are similar and productive. Just saw we signed Rico Dowdle.

Steelers just signed Rico Dowdle.

Warren/Dowdle are 1a/1b however you want to interchange it. Kaleb Johnson? Cut candidate IMO.

He's going to have to impress, that's for sure.

Wow big day. Like my latest mock even more now.
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.

It seemed like a pretty obvious signing given his experience with our new coaching staff. I wonder if they chose him over even trying to keep Gainwell?
