    There’s been musings about Deki playing an 8 since at least last season. I rule this out due to Deki’s inability/unwillingness to use his right foot.

    The front 3 struggled & I think they’ll all get better as they get more time in Ange’s system; however, perhaps we have 3 RW’s: Deki, Solomon & Porro. Solomon may very well become our starter over the other 2 as he fits Ange’s RW roll best (though Porro can cross well). Deki may end up 3rd choice at some point.

    Who can play RB is a bigger question. Emerson is the obvious starter, but with Porro’s defensive liabilities who backs up/competes w/ Emerson? The way Ange uses the backs I’m wondering if Skipp is our other best option at RB?

        Skipp isn’t blazing, but he has shown good recovery pace. I suspect his speed might be comparable with Emerson’s.

        Recovery ability (needed for backs in this system) has a lot to do with anticipation/reading and positioning, which I think are strengths of Skipp.

        I liked Emerson & Skipp starting, but if Skipp loses out to Sarr or Lo Celso and/or Emerson needs a rest…
