We have a better 1-2 punch than they do for a fraction of the costNot a position of need, but definitely a difference maker type we should try to get.
I’m not saying we break the bank on a rb and hell Seldon may be ready to take the next step. I’m just saying the problem with Sampson which made him third string has been his pass blocking; he still sucks at it. With the system we run it’s going to be hard for him to be RB1 if that doesn’t change. We may have someone already on the roster though that’s ready.we could buy 2 real, quality pass blockers (OL) for what he's asking for
The Mossy Oak guy? Last name Haas? Had no idea he was so heavily involved if that’s him.that's exactly what is happening. He worked them last year for ~$1.2-1.6M
that booster they have with the camo/hunting company is basically in charge of keeping him happy
He's doing to them what Baron did to us, on a larger scale. We'll see if it works. He definitely played his ass off his freshman year and made them pay for the giant pair of shiny shoes that he has yet to fill, IMO.
Even still, that's a big "oops!" for our friend Lane
Sampson is also 20-25lbs lighter than Wright and a much worse pass blocker no matter how you try to pick it apart. He’s truly as bad at it as you’ll ever see.keep in mind it was Jalen Wright that almost got HH killed in the LSU game cause he missed on pass pro...and he fumbled too much....and what happened the very next season?
Sampson will be fine.
