Westbrook fumbled once every 152 NFL touches and had multiple years 

Blue fumbled every 88 this year.

Fumble issues have derailed a ton of better players than Blue. His path to playing is non existent if he doesn't solve that problem.

4 tds and 250ish yards of offense in the playoffs without a fumble IIRC was a positive trend

i think it is bigger than mere fumbles and 4 fumbles on 134 carries is bad. Westbrook was really good. Has Blue shown great vision? Does he exhibit contact balance? Do you see great lateral ability between the tackles? I prefer to keep him, but right now I only see a 3rd down RB. Maybe he develops into something more in the NFL.

Choice has stated he has no intention of pursuing a RB from the portal when asked recently.

that was before he lost blue.

While I wouldn't be altogether surprised if they (Sark/Choice) were to change their minds, I seriously doubt Choice wasn't aware of Blue likely being gone when he made the statement. If you heard the statement, it's kind of an awkward one to explain away (to the RB's in the room) ... sort of like open mouth, insert foot.

Did you happen to catch our playoff game against Washington last season?
unfortunately. I was wondering if it started at the end of the year or if it was a season long thing.
He had 2 fumbles in 65 attempts in 2023. Right about the same carries per fumble
that’s what I was wondering. He only touched the ball 65 times last season?

Not yet. Or he wasn’t the other day. Haven’t played in a week or so. I doubt they do any more updates unless they have one that reverts back to everyone being healthy.

I don’t feel like I can replay the 2024-25 season in dynasty. I really enjoyed this team. Wouldn’t feel right to play with them for a long time. Gonna need to sim it as accurate as possible and save a stopping point so I can play the 2025-26 season this spring and summer. This loss hurts though. Gonna have to keep CF25 on the shelf for a long while.

Crosspost of great roster stuff from @tokamak

So taking a step back and looking at our big picture needs...

Offense:

QB - All set

RB - Opinions vary. Depends a lot on how Baxter bounces back and whether Gibson can get back in the trust tree. I lean toward saying we need 1.

TE - Is Niblack coming back? He didn't do much this year but at least he's a body. Could use 1 but hard to see devoting a lot of resources here.

WR - Chatter picking up steam that we like what we have. Maybe the price tag for true difference makers is too beaucoup? Need 1-2.

OL - Tackle looks set if Goosby and Baker stick around. Seems like they'd add experience on the interior if they could.

Defense:

DE - Looks good with Moore coming back and Simmons staying.

DT - Added two guys that should contribute. One more perhaps?

LB - Added one already. Seems like we're OK for now.

CB - Need one if Muhammad leaves.

S - Probably OK with Taaffe back unless multiple young guys bail.

To me, it feels like we still have quite a bit of shopping to do if we fancy ourselves a contender next year.

RB situation is gonna be pretty interesting next year. Good chance that Wisner, Gibson, Simon, and Stewart are the only projected healthy RBs heading to Columbus for Game 1. I hope for the best with Baxter and Christian Clark, but we're probably lucky to have either 100% ready to go by start of conference play. 

We'll see, but I expect the offense to look quite different next year with Arch. Fewer condensed formations and misdirections. More downhill blocking and physical running attack. We'll probably see Arch go under center a decent amount too. 

I like Wisner a lot. But we need another RB to step up and be 1B (if not 1A).

Not disagreeing with you but I think 95% of programs would love to bring back a 1000 yard rusher and a short yardage back who still averaged 4.8 ypc.

Will DeAndre Moore be a true junior or redshirt sophomore next year? I didnt think he played his freshman year.  

Moore played 9 games last games in 2023.  He'll be a true junior next year.

Baxter supposedly tore his LCL, if he's not ready to go 12 months later then he's just sitting out for the draft. That's not some catastrophic 12+ month recovery

https://www.si.com/college/texas/news/texas-rb-cj-baxter-undergoes-successful-knee-surgery-01j60dh7t47tNow, according to reports from Anwar Richardson of OrangeBloods.com,

 

Baxter underwent successful surgery to repair his LCL and ACL on Tuesday. Baxter was also originally thought to have torn his PCL, but per the report, that ligament remained intact and did not require surgery.

 

The Surgery was performed by Dr. Daniel Cooper in Dallas.

 

Should be good for fall camp.
