Ok, so like everyone else I read the positive words being written in camp about this kid. I hadn't had a chance to see him yet and watched the Bucs game condensed NFL preseason and frankly watching this kid run he looks like he just stepped in gum.

This is what all the hoopla is about? This is the guy we think will get scooped off waivers and not make the PS?

I mean he looks ok, but he's basically a slower, less shifty BJGE. A fine PS RB who can maybe be elevated in a pinch, but I find it hard to swallow he'll be stealing a roster spot from one of the other three alleged bubble RBs.

Again I'm basing this off one game, but a guy's speed is a guy's speed. A pleasant surprise to get a backup RB off the street, but wow some serious Kool-Aid being chugged with this one.

Gotta love the one-star brigade ..... God forbid you question a Pats player or the hype surrounding them. #homerville

Having watched a limited amount I want to know if I'm missing anything. Did he look better in other games than TB? Was someone at TC where they saw him looking much better? Because what I saw in week 3 was pretty pedestrian and my enthusiasm in him an "UDFA gem" has waned.

heh... I have NEVER even seen the star before...I bet I have like 1/8 stars or something

I dont see what they see either. I think all three of Ridley, Vereen, and Woodhead are better backs, but they guy is ok. Depending what we do at the FB position, he might make the team.

He doesn't look as slow to night; honestly, it's probably the contrast to Ridley who always looks very explosive.

Not really sure either I guess Larsen wouldn't of been waived or another back would of been signed if he wasn't making it. Just crazy some of the love he gets I mean **** people have bolden as a lock but Woodhead on the bubble lol.

Just pray that if he makes the team,he never returns kicks when the games count....

BradyFTW!

I think Bolden has pretty firmly established that he can't be trusted as a return guy. If he makes the roster, it won't have anything to do with his skills (or lack thereof) in that area.

people will always "hype" a productive college back who was a UDFA because all they're thinking is about the potential for a true diamond in the rough stud which you do see at that position sometimes.

He reminds me of BJGE in the run game, pretty solid but unexciting. Obviously returning punts/kicks isn't something he's excelling at.
