Yet even though am not a big Lafell fan, not sure he should not be used at all unless they find a gem late in the draft.
Also have mixed feelings about Gio and Mixon on field at same time per taking away a blocker and forcing one to basically be a fullback. Not sure I want either taking the extra pounding in that manner. But get the attraction to them both being out there.
I see Core and Malone as our potential late round gems. Core ran faster than Green with the GPS suit (something crazy like 23mph) and he has the big, strong body to make contested catches. I love his ability. and although he was very raw coming out of college, he seems to take well to coaching. I would give him and Malone a lot of chances in the upcoming OTAs, and pre-season games. We know what we have in Lafell and it isn't much.
If Gio and Mixon are on the field together, it doesn't necessarily imply that one be the fullback. I like the idea of one of them going in motion to draw a LB or safety out of the center of the field for the RPO between handing the ball to the other back or a quick shot to the WR/TE.
Gio has been a wasted commodity on this team and I would like to see him more involved. Calling Mixon a bell-cow scares me a bit because I fear for his health and strength down the stretch. He has earned it, but I still would like to see Gio get 10 touches a game as well as Mixon get 15-20. Mixon only had 30 receptions last year. I would like to see a lot more passes to our RBs after sending the likes of Ross, Green, Malone, or Core vertical to open up the underneath...should help Kroft and Uzomah as well.
