The problem with Sankey is he is ok at everything and not good or great at anything.
He has ok speed.
He has ok strength..
He has ok agility and vision.
He is a well spoken likeable guy. He is a good teamate the kind of guy that coaches want to succeed.
Im just not convinced he has what it takes to be a starting runningback you have to better then ok.
Alot of backs lack in a certain area but make up for it in other areas Sankeys problem is he doesnt make up for it in any other areas.
We could have taken any RB in the draft and there is atleast 4 guys better then Sankey probably more.
I think we should have decided what kind of style we wanted to go with for our starting back a bruising powerback that wears down defenses by fighting for every yard or a speedback that makes those game changing plays and we draft the best possible guy at which ever style we wanted.
I really really hope Sankey has a great offseason works on his strength and conditioning adds some weight and muscle. While also working on his footwork nd blocking. Im not one who thinks he is just a lost cause and we need to move on. I also dont believe his lack ofproduction is solely on the. offensive line. I think Sankey has alot of work to do but its possible.
I would rather have a draft do over lol but since thats not possible all we can do is hope that fixing the offensive line and Sankey having a great offseason leads to dramatic improvement. I dont think we give up on Sankey yet but we have to draft a RB in the 4th or 5th rounds. I would even be ok with one in the 3rd if a really good guy we likes drops or maybe look at some in free agency.
As much as I want Sankey to improve and be the guy and its possible he improves and the line improves and he comes out next year and has a great year we cant depend on it.
