Default Westbrook, LT or Sproles...

Which one would fit in our system the best and I guess - which one can we pursue realistically and possibly get...

I would think Sproles because of his ability to fit many different roles.

Default Re: Westbrook, LT or Sproles....

Westbrook - Last couple years injured and has major concussion issues .
LT- Injured and lost a step .
Sproles - Cannot be put in blitzing downs. He is too small and does not pick up blitz .

So non fit our system. westbrook has repeated concussion and once the pattern starts you are going to miss a bunch of games every year. we already have taylor and morris who fit that role.

LT- He is avg 3.5 or below and has lost a step. never been a blitz pickup guy so not sure we will get him as maroney is probabily better at this point/

Sproles.- RB do not play in our system who cannot pick up blitzes.

Westbrook is oft injured and probably not worth the risk. LT is the anti-Patriot. Sproles would be an upgrade in the return game, and Brady loves those short shifty receivers.

Sproles is the only guy I would want in a Patriots uniform but it's not going to happen because he is due 7 million this next year and LT is going to be cut (or traded I would lol). San Diego will lock up Sproles and Jackson in long term contracts if they are smart because they are two of their best play makers.

Sproles seems to be a the only one in the list with the up side. We may have better luck in draft when compared to the other 2.

Still I would love to sign LT and cut him in training camp

I agree with the poster before me said and that the Chargers wont let Sproles get away. LT isnt the same as he once was so I'd pass on him and Westbrook is too old and injury prone. If we were to make a huge move in the RB position this off season I would like it to be Ronnie Brown. He would be a great fit in NE and is fairly young. Do I think it will happen, no, but it is a nice thought.

I'd take Leon Washington if it looks like he can get back to his normal form from his broken leg.

Sproles is likely to be franchised or RFA tendered. Either way, I don't see Sproles going anywhere.

I think that Westbrook would be a better fit to replace Faulk if Faulk decided to retire or was signed by someone else.

I don't want LT on this team at all.

So it is between two once extremely productive but now over the hill RBs who will have trouble even finding a job in 2010 and a dynamic but overpriced 3rd down back/returner who isn't going to be available anyway?

Guess the answer is clearly D none of the above.

I would say none, resign Faulk.

This offseason, it's almost like Belichick is saying, "I'm never going to let that happen again."
