a WR that blocks
took a moment or two, but as Sammy settled into his part in the offense he showed a side rarely admired. Helping out downfield.
Watkins is described as an elite blocker. whether that's right or not, he was a very good and willing blocker, and honestly the club needs that in whoever ends up taking up that spot. Reynolds is not making me forget his build. Willing or not Josh doesn't bode well with his frame in taking on defenders.
Mentioned in someone's assessment was that Pettis a great blocker
Well, I'll take that
Also, they certainly are not looking for Todd Gurley to take as many snaps this year. With Malcolm Brown out injured for a number of games, and Dunbar never materializing in a larger role, the club needs to find another backfield option for their offense to run through. Tavon took up some snaps, but they need someone to come in and be another difference maker.
