There were a half-dozen RBsI would like a RB a little more dynamic than Ridley who is just too one dimensional for my liking. Ridley doesn't have breakaway speed and he cannot catch a cold. Have you guys forgotten about James White redshirt year for him this year might be a keeper next year.
I can't believe Belichick didn't give Jim Brown the damn ball for 9 weeks
Serisously, that was eye-opening on Gray's behalf last night. Gonna have to wait
and see how the season progresses before determining how big a need rb is now.
These rb's after two or three years in a professional weight program look like blocks of granite. That's what Gray looks like now. If we can get James White on that type of program..cough..cough..we may not even need a back. Not forgetting Gaffney either.Absolutely. He'll be a damn sight cheaper than Beast mode who I thought he played just like last night.

Abdullah was terrible in pass protection on Saturday. Was watching some of that game and Bama game. Nearly got his qb killed. I think I'd prefer a bigger back.
He tried but got run over a few times. Maybe, as he gets bigger he can do it. Bigger boys coming at you in the NFL though. Kevin Faulk did improve greatly as his career progressed.
I really see no need to bring back Ridley even in a one year bargain deal. However I would love bb to draft yeldon of Alabama.
Now that Gurley has an ACL I wonder how much this will push back his draft stock.
Might still be available with the Mankins/Bucs pick? If so, we might give him a redshirt year and try to bridge it with cheap 1Y Ridley/Gray/Gaffney
We will likely have 3 pics in a 10+ pick range: our own 3rd, a 3rd round comp pick, and TB's 4th. If Gurley is available in that range I'm fine with using one of those on him, but I doubt it. I'm guessing he's still a top-50 pick.
