2017 In-Season Transactions

That means we are devoting three DI spots to running backs (Wilder, Jackson and McDaniel), leaving little roster flexibility elsewhere.

I'm having trouble understanding The Professor's thought process here. What advantage is there in playing McDaniel? He's smaller and doesn't block as well as Wilder. I noticed he played a lot of specials the other night, but that's what I thought Wilder was good for. There's got to be a good reason why Trestman had the extra INT slotted at RB instead of on Defence where it was obviously needed more.

As I said above, I'm pretty sure McDaniel is now the backup kicker. Dressing someone who can kick in an emergency is essential. Plus McDaniel can play ST, and he was one of our two KRs last game. He's a RB officially, but I doubt we'll see him get any more reps at that position with three guys ahead of him.
