Jonas Gray Released [9/14 Update - This Time By Dolphins]

[Ring 6]

Weird. He'll get even less playing time there than he would here.

Considering he would get zero here because BB didn't want him on the team, I would disagree.

 

[Ring 6]

Lewis will be Woodhead all over again.
When BJGE was the "#1" and Woodhead was "3rd down back" Woodhead actually played more snaps.

Blount = BJGE
Lewis = Woodhead
White = Vereen (when Woodhead was here too)
Bolden = Sammy Morris

Considering he would get zero here because BB didn't want him on the team, I would disagree.

He'd be behind Cobb, who they're super high on, and Sankey, who had a really good preseason. Your point's taken, but it just strikes me as odd. I don't see how he'd make that team.

But he is a fringe NFL player trying to find a job. He doesn't get to pick who wants him, he goes wherever the call comes from, if one comes.

Like the new Bolden. Everyone thought Bolden was going to be great in 2012 & 2013. Although I do think Bolden can do an okay job, he probably won't be great. Might be a bit stronger these days based on his big hits on special teams.

I don't remember anyone saying Bolden would be great then or now. Admittedly I've just skimmed this thread.

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

Why is Gray unemployed?: (A) a little spoken but fairly certain belief that Gray has a 'approach to work' problem, or (B) a lack of skillsets beyond running the ball that makes his roster spot more valuable to someone who can fill multiple roles, or (C) Both A and B

I suspect it is B. Hard to believe a team wouldn't take a shot on a low expense, low risk guy who had a jaw dropping performance in a game even if he had some attitude issue rumors. It makes more sense that teams are thinking 'We already have guys with running sills who can also aptly fill roles A and B. Gray just can't give us these other things we need from someone further down the roster'.

Titans are taking a peek.

He got passed over by the Titans...I mean, that's saying something.

 

[LJRomanoff]

He's a Dolphin now (sort of - Dolphin Practice Squad.)

Maybe....he just wasn't as good as Patsfans.com thought he was.

 

[TommyD4207]

See there he might actually end up playing.

…but would still have had a better chance of being productive vs PitsDirt than anyone else at RB who will dress tomorrow night…kinda the whole point of the matter.

Squealers secondary is terrible. You can run on them too.

Brady is going to pass for 400 yards and 5 TDs.

Jonas Gray would not make much of a difference.

Oh god....Another 10 page thread on Jonas Gray cometh.

Anyone want to bet how many posts there would be on a "OT: Dolphins Release Jonas Gray- Should We Sign Him?" get?

I'd say 100 easy.

OR...or...maybe he's just not very good.

Remember, Brandon "0.6 ypc" Bolden has a couple of 100-yd games under his belt too.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him back. I think there's always room for a bigger guy who runs hard.

 

[Ross12]

Would love to put him back on the PS here if he were open to it.
