Takes 2 to trade! Muchblike us with Slay, the asking price was likely just too great and you would bitch if we did make the trade.
As far as Drake goes, at the time the Cards 5th was a better pick then ours or the Seahawks. Obviously we weren’t comfortable giving up a 4th for him because thats what we would have had to do.
I’ve been wanting Scarborough for a while now. He runs upright but he’s a load. Most likely I got too good of an impression from the CFB playoffs a couple of years ago.
Well, the time will come when all of it will be spent. If they want to extend Slay, keep Robinson and others and have a piggy bank for free agents they will have options. Some point out we have to overpay for free agents, so yeah, the extra $$$ in future years will be necessary no matter what they decide.
The injury news came out after the news that we signed a punter. SO if you want us to take back the sarcasm from signing a punter…nah, its fun to bitch!
Not relevant
The second guessing of everything when we know near nothing is just stupid
Worse is acting like you think you’re smart when everyone can see through it and knows the posts are mindless
I like it, too. Stylistically, he’s complementary to KJ and TJ. Not sure where he’s at on the NFL talent spectrum, but when you can just sign a guy to your practice squad, expectations have to be pretty low. This is a zero risk and (hopefully) high-ish reward move. I don’t see how anyone could complain about it.
We honestly have no clue what to expect from him. He’s got a style that has doomed some runners, while some others have thrived (Derrick Henry, LaGarrett Blount). If teams can keep him from getting going, he wont produce much. But to stop him from getting going, I’m hoping teams have to commit to doing it…opening up the passing game.
I’m not saying this kid is the answer to our run game woes. But I’m amazed that someone with his pedigree couldn’t find a roster spot deep on someone’s broken depth chart, or even get a single NFL carry.
Damn he looks slow in the open field, if that’s his top gear, that’s probably why he’s available. Still, hope he somehow carves out a productive role for the Lions. He looks like a poor man’s Joique Bell in this clip.
It’s his stride/gait. He looked that way at Bama and yet still outran angles. He won’t do that in the NFL of course but he’s a decent athlete. Derrick Henry light but he’s better in the passing game. Much less durable than Henry unfortunately. He’s also frustratingly meh as a goal line runner.
Despite all of that, if we can somewhat limit penetration he’s our best healthy RB until he gets injured.
Good signing. I’d like to see us also go get Mike Weber and throw Perkins on the practice squad.
