Is their room for a big back like Jamal Lewis or Ahman Green on the team or can we get by with Evans as a big back?
Yes, NE needs a power RB IMO.
what? why? if we wanted Green or Lewis and give them a fat contract we would have done so.
Maroney is a featured back..as are the 2 FAs you mentioned. We needed a guy who can take a small role like Morris for relatively cheap. the reason Dillon is gone is it seemed like he wasnt happy with 8-10 carries a game that werent even guranteed..if Green came here, hed have a big contract to do what?
Were set at RB it seems..maybe late round to compete or w.e and be on the practice squad but thats it
I'm think your probably right about not needing a power running back. The problem with the Dillon/Maroney combo last year was when Dillon was in the game you knew it was going to be a run. It's better to have two backs that are interchangeable as far as play calling.
why would we sign Morris if we needed another powerback?
how many RBs do you plan on carrying?
-Maroney
-Faulk
-Morris
-Evans
-Mills(FB-TE)
No, Running Back is solidified.
I don't look at Morris as a replacement for Dillon, more like a replacement for Pass. Evans was already here. That said, I'd expect a RB to come through the draft as opposed to spending large dimes on a vet with a lot of wear.
I am not convinced. LoMo had a decent rookie season, but he hasn't proven himself as a full time back in the NFL, esp on third and short yardage.
Now that is cold! Mix dissing his boy Quadtrine Hill. :nono:why would we sign Morris if we needed another powerback?
