How much will the run game suffer with Clutts gone?

[ijustposthere]

Yes, Old Style sucks. Yes you are a troll. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask, I'm here to help.

I hate Clutts isn't going to make the team. Sooner or later its nice to have a guy whose only job in the backfield is to block. If Clutts doesn't make the team I hope its because we bring in aniother FB that gets cut by another team.

We need at least one true FB somewhere on the squad.

But its not like were cutting Vonte Leach. I just wish the Bears would get a run blocking FB who is topsd in the league. It really helps in more areas than people think.

Clutts was traded to Houston, Flyer.

 

[robthorn24]

I have a hard time imagining that they would have traded him if he was really important to the plans going forward. I'd say we'll be alright.

 

[ijustposthere]

They kept 4 TEs on the roster, I wouldn't be surprised to see someone like Spaeth or Adams take over Clutts' duties when we need a FB.

Gotta be Adams or ER. 'Cause Spaeth and Davis can't block. I can't be the only one who noticed.

 

[ijustposthere]

I'm guessing it will likely be Adams more than anyone, but I obviously don't know for sure.

 

[Hawkeye]

So since I have Arian Foster on my fantasy team I can just start him alone and he'll win it all for me cause Clutts is leading the way for him? :crazydance:

 

[ijustposthere]

Clutts' importance to the team is likely overstated.

Our run game will always suffer until Forte figures out how to get the tough yards instead of running into back of an olineman and falling down

Shouldn't the O-lineman not be in the backfield?

Im pretty sure, but i didnt see Bush having a problem making a guy miss in the hole, Forte trys to make every run a TD run and sometimes u just gotta take your 3-4 yard gain and stay out of 2nd long

Bush has less YPC than Forte.

I hope so, Rodriguez looked pretty bad against teams backups trying to play FB.

 

[Rodneyr38]

Bush has less YPC than Forte.

because forte broke a 34 yarders against scrubs, take that run away and his YPC in preseason is under 3!!!! that should be alarming and BTW i think i saw bush find the endzone twice

 

[1000ftditka!]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He will help Texas more than hurt us.....

 

[bearmick]

I think it will alot. Forte owes Clutts atleast half of his new contract. Without Clutts.. Forte isn't even a running back. Good thing we got BUSH!

What's up Mikey?

Didn't you get pwned enough on CBMB over this topic? Comin' back for more huh? LOL

So we don't count plays that happen if they don't support our arguments? Anyway, I was talking about last season. Forte in his career has been getting better per carry, while Bush gets worse the more he touches the ball.

Fortes importance to the bears is overstated
