Pete Bercich Breaks Down RB McBride

I am really excited to see him in pre season, he seems to have everything to be an impact player, the backup RB battle is going to be a solid one.  

This guy may have a good preseason but if they retain Cook then what is the reason for keeping McBride?  None except taking a roster spot.  How often in the past has the team utilized more than 2 running backs during the season.  With Mattison, Chandler and maybe Cook this guy doesn't have a fit on this team.

His highlights look great, but his history not so much.  Ball security is an issue, 9 fumbles in 2 years, has struggled against good competition, LSU and he is as fast as he looks,no second gear.  Really hope he does well, love his balance/strength and getting North/South very quickly.  Roughly same size as Ty Chandler and slower.

 First couple of sentences he spoke, I thought it was Bubba from Forest Gump.

Hope he pans out, but right now the hype train is a bit much.

But we are talking about a player who led college football in rushing, ranked 1st among RBs in NCAA-to-NFL "translatable stats."

And don't forget the starting RB on the Super Bowl winning team was a 7th round draft pick literally 10 months before. 

If he can reliably get a yard when needed and not get stuffed or strung out he has a place.  My only issue with Dalvin is the run for no gain ratio.
