1st Team All Pro - OW, Kyle "Juice" Juszczyk

I think Juice has been under used, but there's no point in bringing up his highlight clips from a decade ago. Dude used to be a bulldozer but has suffered a bunch of concussions and neck injuries since that time. He also said on the HAM podcast that he's lost about 20 pounds since Baltimore.

Juice is going to be 33 years old. He's still good but not the same player in that video.

He doesn't need to be a bulldozer... just get the ball in his hands. And hell if he did lose 20lbs, then he was obviously going to be quicker for us... but did we get to see that more often on the field? No.

Why is so hard to admit Kyle gets narrow-minded when he's stressed?... runs CMC to the ground, because he relies on him bailing him out from his play calls. Doesn't want to trust "wasting" downs on no other running back anymore.

Juice also still shows us what he can do.. we just don't get the ball enough to him. Kyle just thinks I'll hide him and not use him... and when other coach LEAST EXPECTS IT I'LL CALL A WHEEL ROUTE TO HIM!!! YEAH!!

only to have our QBs over throw him...after building up to that play for so long...all those wasted opportunities that he could have got the ball before then.. so what if the defense starts to pay him attention, then that just opens it up for someone else.

Yeah I love Juice but you can't pay a fullback $7 Million and one that you rarely ever use. And one that is on the decline.

Just hurry up and put old yeller down. I love Juice. He was the first FA I advocated for when Shanahan was hired.

But it makes zero sense for a FB to be making that much money. Dude is getting old as f**k, too(in football years).

His wife probably makes more than he does now, he can afford to take a pay cut so we can grab #6 this season

I hope they find a way to keep him. Rework his contract. He brings a lot of intangibles to the offense.

This is what I'm talking about... either we have 9er employees on this forum shilling....or fans are so used to just being defensive of what the team does, they shill for them for free... making s**t up.

If anything, his performances have shown he is still at his best...

Some of those clutch catches he has made for Brock/Us were ridiculous for a FB. Juice isn't just a FB... he's a playmaker who doesn't get used to his best abilities.

Old Yeller? Lol

Yup. But be careful, some here thinks nobody else can do what he does. All 50% of the time he's on the field lol

I'm guessing he takes a reasonable pay cut. There's not a huge market for old fullbacks out there.
