ARI backfield: Edmonds v Conner

Postby zaner75 » Tue Apr 13, 2021 9:17 am

What are thoughts about how the backfield will shake out in Arizona? Is there any value in this backfield?
Coaching staff haven't shown they greatest faith in Edmonds while Conner hasn't shown the ability to stay on the field.
What's the most likely outcome? 60/40 split? 50/50? Cards draft a rookie to make it a 3-three way split?

I think Conner will get a bit more of the carries based on how he has performed in the past. His line in Pittsburgh was awful last year and I think he is a nice buy low. Edmonds will get the passing work. The draft could play a factor here too.

Conner rejoins his rb coach from his pro bowl year. He will be a huge asset for that offense with his attitude. He will be a great compliment to Edmonds. He signed very early, which I think is a huge sign that Arizona is confident in him being the man. As we all know, the only thing that could hold him back is if his injuries follow him from the cold steel city out to the desert.

I'm sold.

Also, I love these quotes from him:
"Chase doing his thing already,” Conner said. “I was watching film like, ‘Man, this dude can ball.’ I want to learn from him and be a part of it and just get to work with Chase. Ain’t no telling, I can’t predict nothing but what I can guarantee is I’m gonna come in here and work day in and day out, put my head down and grind. I’m in it for the long haul, 17-game season, I’m looking forward to it.”

“I think Chase can do it all and I believe I can do it all so just bouncing off each other, his decision-making, his speed,” Conner added. “He runs hard, too, he has that dog mentality just like I got, so we’re just gonna roll.”

I see a full blown RBBC situation. Neither is going to be consistent enough to trust IMO
I am just a guy sharing some thoughts

I agree it's most likely a RBBC, however, I'd much rather take a chance with Conner.
