The Baltimore Hawks have traded away starting running back Marcus Robinson along with a fourth round pick in the Season 2 draft in exchange for Boss Tweed, the second string running back for the Colorado Yeti. Robinson has been a bit disappointing so far into the season, averaging only 3.4 yards per carry in the Hawks offense. He is third in the league in attempts with 188, yet still hasn't rushed for over 20 yards a single time. On the other hand, Boss Tweed of the Colorado Yeti has been performing well with his limited carries. While remaining behind Kieran O'Connell on the depth chart, Tweed has put up an impressive 420 yards on 101 carries (4.2 YPC). This production has shown that Tweed has the ability to perform at the level of a starter, and he'll now have the opportunity in Baltimore. Overall, this trade benefited both teams. Baltimore now has Tweed at the RB position who can hopefully generate more offense for them. Colorado now has another RB on the depth chart who may have potential to get a few reps a game, but cannot handle the load of a starting RB. Colorado also receives a fourth round pick, allowing them to acquire more talent through the draft. The effects of this trade will be rapid, allowing us to see the results in the coming weeks.
