Pacheco?
Yeah - again, I'm not at all worried about longevity with Pop.
I'm worried about ability. He just doesn't have enough of it. He's a guy who's going to get what's blocked...maybe.
I want someone that can get that and then make a guy miss to start racking up those Yards over Expected.
Pacheco doesn't do that. On a
good run, he hits the seam, explodes through it and then smashes into the first guy that gets in front of him. It takes too much going right for him to even get a 20 yarder. But when you watch someone like Gibbs, if he gets through the first level, all hell can break loose.
I'd be fine moving Pacheco to a straight up backup role next season. I wouldn't even be super eager to have him as a short yardage back because he's not particularly good at that.
We're carrying 4 backs right now, right? I'd be fine doing that again next year with Henderson, Pacheco, Hunt and a 3rd down back. I don't need a FB and to whatever extent one might be necessary, just use Hunt as an up back. He's a willing and capable blocker.
I'm just running out of use for Pacheco at this point. He's...fine. That's it. I'm not sure I even prefer him to what Damien Williams brought to the table in 2019.
