Tucker should be the starter. He’s just the best runner. White as the 3rd down back. Irving change of pace and speciality plays
I am a fan of White but is it possible he slides down the chart? Hard to picture him consistently running with the approach we see so far from Irving and Tucker.
Not "sliding down the chart" and no dancing from White - something he improved upon last season unbeknownst to your dumbass.
You're 0/2 here, keeping your lifetime average at .000.
Check in after Week 1: Rachaad White is the starting RB.
Check in after Week 2: Rachaad White is the starting RB.
Check in after Week 3: Rachaad White is the starting RB.
Check in after Week 4: Rachaad White is the starting RB.
Check in after Week 5: Rachaad White is the starting RB.
Check in after Week 6: Rachaad White - Inactive w/Injury. Still #1 on the Depth Chart.
A lot of overreactions after yesterday. We've seen tucker run like he's stuck in the mud. Lets not crown the guy just yet.

Bucky should be starter, averaging 5.7 yards a carry
White should be third down/pass catching option. Dude had 44 more yards than Tucker on 35 more carries
I agree that Tucker shouldn't be named early down back off of one game but the dude has earned more carries and when we foolishly stick with White and we aren't having any success, we should be quicker to try Tucker for a series
White isn't very good. I know we spend a third round pick on him but the guy averaged 3.7 yards a carry in his career thus far. We are seeing Bucky have way more success. Obviously hard to assess Tucker but White/Bucky have played against the same defenses and it's night and day

wait what is this argument? It's abundantly clear that White will lose the starting job eventually to Bucky.
wait what is this argument?
The argument in the preseason, while White was standing on the sidelines in street clothes, is that White will be falling down the depth chart because he dances in the hole too much. There were a couple problems with that:
1. The starters in street clothes (Baker, Mike, Chris, White, Vea, Lavonte, Winfield, etc.) had their position on the depth chart cemented, as we've seen through six weeks.
2. White stopped the dancing last season, and we've seen none of it this season.
The pablum and excuse making for the last two months has been acting like #1 & #2 aren't reality.
It's abundantly clear that White will lose the starting job eventually to Bucky.
It's certainly possible. I guess the next thing to do would be to define "eventually" for your argument. You talking next week or next year?
One thing that gets forgotten when talking about starting RB's is the position is not just about running the ball. Pass protection is a very important aspect of the position, and that's not something we've seen Irving or Tucker do very much, very well. That's not to say they can't, but it's one reason I wouldn't be surprised to see White continue to be #1 on the depth chart.

Gotcha, and i'm more referring to next week then next year
I mean it's kind of starting to shift now
Week 1
White snap count 45, Bucky 20 - White 15 rushes versus Bucky 9
Week 2
White snap count 34, Bucky 17 - White 10 rushes versus Bucky 7
Week 3
White snap count 32, Bucky 18 - White 6 rushes versus Bucky 9
So what do we see here. White Clearly enters season as starter and taken more snaps due to the areas you mention, pas protection etc. but notice almost 50/50 split in terms of designed running plays in Week 2/3
Week 4
White snap count 45, Bucky 32 - White and Bucky both with 10 rushes
Week 5
White snap count 34, Bucky 23 - White 10 rushes versus Bucky 9
So almost looks like since week 2, they are splitting carries
Week 6
both Bucky and Tucker had 14 carries each. Didn't see Pewter post the snap count data yet
So technically, in terms of carries, i can certainly see Bucky go from 50/50 with White to more 60/40, 70/30 and maybe as soon as next Monday. But it does appear the Bucs will use a committee approach. Just saying they should go with hot hand. Dont have one guy averaging 6 yards a carry and the next 3 and treat them equally on designed run plays
in terms of the pass protection, yes this is a situation where i see White maintaining alot of snaps.
Biggs is a feckless troll
the question during the preseason, which has been answered in the affirmative by REALITY, already is that the 2023 second most used RB would be sliding down to Bucky Irving given the way the coaches - multiple coaches over multiple years - speak of Whites style of running
the only people who took issue with that question were Biggs (of course) and DH
Biggs embraces being the troll that’s why he brings it up after 2 other RBs ran for 200 plus AND he brings it up in his distorted fashion lol
In another thread Licht is criticized after Dennis went down for not drafting an LB
Does that mean drafting Irving was a good move, with White out on injury?
:-)
Bucky should be starter, averaging 5.7 yards a carry
Tucker should be starter, averaging 8.9 yards per carry. And a higher run success rate. And better receiving numbers (rate).
But it does appear the Bucs will use a committee approach.
I think that was always going to be the case. In today's NFL, all teams use multiple backs throughout the season. Hell, look at Derrick Henry with Baltimore. He's leading the NFL in rushing yards and TD's, but he splitting the snaps 54% to 46% with Justice Hill.
One thing yesterday proved for sure is the opening line of the OP's thread is pretty funny. Not much else was right in his post, but at least he understood that Rachaad White's spot on the depth chart was set - which is more than we can say for the loon.
I think that was always going to be the case.
bwhahahahahahahahahhahhaha
Tucker is great and thrilled for him BUT his is alsothe guy they ran with LATE with the game out of reach. In that last drive he has a 36 a 12 and an 8.
But, as Biggs could tell anyone who would listen, he could have had that next run for maybe -36 . . . because, as any "simpleton" could tell you . . "thats how average work"
