Thank God for that.
Bengals make it official, announce they've signed Danieal Manning
This is too much hand-wringing over RB.
There's really not a position on the roster that I am less concerned with, or more convinced is so strongly a function of the performance of the other players on the field.
Unless you are a truly great RB (Dillon in 2004), the differences in production from one back to the other vary so ridiculously slightly. Over the course of a year, it's truly nominal. I think this is why Belichick has not invested in the position recently, and has let guys like BJGE or Blount walk over peanuts. Because it just doesn't matter. We have other guys who can do the same thing.
Ultimately, all he wants from his RBs is to hold onto the ball. Since Ridley couldn't do it last year, he had to fight through the doghouse despite being our best back otherwise.
My only concern is getting an RB who can contribute in the passing game, where we actually do see a huge dropoff in production from Vereen to anybody else.
I bet no one remembers the fact that Dillon had five fumbles in his 1600+ yard season in 04.
Mike Loyko @NEPD_Loyko 49m
#patriots had Owen Daniels in a few weeks ago but chose not to sign him.
guy is such a turd
Daniels or Loyko?
No great surprise, but Titans are releasing RB Chris Johnson today, per source close to situation. Johnson will be a free agent.
Interesting. Marrone didn't want him on team at Cuse. RT @JamesWalkerNFL: #Bills trade a 6th-round pick to #Buccaneers for WR Mike Williams.
Ravens sign TE Owen Daniels. That's one we could have used.
Not that I disagree but he was having trouble passing a physical. He may have been either exactly what we needed opposite Gronk or just another injury prone body at the TE position. I'm glad they at least "appear" to be looking toward the draft to compliment Gronk.
Ravens re-sign Terrence Cody to one-year deal:
Giants announce they've signed tight end Kellen Daivs and wide receiver Travis Harvey
