How did he go?
I heard he got his nickname power back because he lifts huge on bench....so I guess JT decided to use him according to his credentials. ... hes on the bench, and fullnof power.
They are driving Draughn into the ground while Gaskin and Cadet have been doing nothing but warming the bench

seriously cant understand some of the OC play calls. so conservative as to stop the team from winning, just to hold the team to losing by smaller margin.

given this guy at least a snap or two as a change up
Well you would think with the season gone they would be wanting to give the less experienced players some more experience.

It maybe they are looking at fielding the best combinations of players they can to save their own coaching jobs.

Other than that it does not make much sense to me.
Whatever the coaches reasoning, the RB position and depth is now no clearer for the future. We don't know if gas can has any upside, or if cadet can do anything or if hayne will ever play again. Meanwhile the offense is rubbish with no innovation or spark.
You would think they would want the back up for Bush to be dangerous and explosive. Arizona has 3 running backs who are like that. Probably why they are up the top of the league in defence.

The debacle following Bush's and Davies' injuries should never happen in a Pro Team.

will gaskins get a single run this weekend?

its gunna be freeeking freezing on the bench, then gas kans is getting called in for a single to two snaps in 3 hours of play..... that is harsh
I just cant see why they are not playing him. It is not giving him a chance to develop his game and is taking up a valuable roster spot They only have so much room on the roster and both him and Cadet are bench warming.

They must not be performing in practice even though I am sure they are doing everything Tomsula asks of them.

Tough to be them.

Not only them, Hyde also taking up a valuable roster spot since he should be on IR

Recall many posters saying Hayne was taking up valuable roster spot? Least he was used on a few snaps. But to,have Hyde still not on IR after 6 weeks, and two new RB on the squad and still not used but taking up three spots and no snaps between them all,?

yet the masses are silent about the wasted roster spots.

Curious and curiouser
