One of the biggest problems I’m seeing on offense is RB. We never replaced McKinnon. He was such a dynamic receiving weapon for us. 9 receiving TD’s in 2022 was a big reason we were successful. 4 last year in only 12 games.
Guess how many receiving TD’s we have from a RB this year? 1. That’s literally it. It’s non-existent. Perine is the closest thing we have to McKinnon.
They need to start having Mecole line up in the backfield and get some designed passes to the flat to stretch the LB’s and utilize speed there.
Toney was awful but he did provide that piece of the offense to us at times last year. We just don’t have it right now and it’s a major major problem.

Perine had 50 receptions for 455 yards last year with the broncos. This season he has 174 so far on pace for 296.
That makes zero sense. We could kill 2 birds with one stone using him more. We would get a lot more production from our passing game and most importantly, if you run a few RB screens behind the pass rush, it forces the pass rushers to be less aggressive which helps out the line and in turn allows you to run longer developing downfield plays.
It's the kind of stuff that makes me want to accept the "they're saving things for the playoffs" cope. But...who the **** saves RB screens lol.
