He's still not > Lewis.
They are not the same player.

Didnt Lewis get arrested for pulling a fire alarm while drunk with the eagles ? Thats kind of a teen thing. He might have maturity problems. He has a good fake when he runs. Seems to have good sight, but really doesnt have alot of plays on film for me make a determination just yet.He's still not > Lewis.

I mean E. Smith looked great with the top 1-5 OL in dallas, but you stick him on the worst OL with B. Sanders he would have done pretty mediocre at best. Its one of many reason B.Sanders is considered the best.
I like Lewis but I feel like it's gonna be White who starts as the third down back. Maybe they keep more than one, maybe they keep all of them, but if I had to pick one guy I think Bill would choose over the others, it'd be White.
As opposed to via the draft not in the draft?That wouldn't be a surprise, considering it was Bill who chose White via the draft in the draft. Lewis is the journeyman, so he'll have it harder.
We loved Cadet. He was a fan favorite

Thing about cadet is hes a very hard worker. Good at special teams, pass catching, blocking, and running.
His strength is around the ends, the short relief pass, he only goes north, not afraid of a hit, Very good hands, works hard, special teams, and not injury prone.
Weaknesses would be he has no 1/10th of second sight you see in great runners, not an effective bruiser back, mediun intellegence might take him a couple games to figure things out, and ok at kick off returns.
Hes someone you can depend on to do his best, and a good team mate. Its my opinion that any team would be smart to have him on the 53 man roster, because he can fit into most positions when injuries hit.
Another difference is leg strength and the ability to run between the tackles. Nod goes to Lewis here imo. White is a good receiver and has good vision but is not explosive and goes down at first contact.As opposed to via the draft not in the draft?
I am rewatching the last game again right now, Lewis has moves but so does White. Lewis is the better runner but White seems to just be a little smoother as a receiver. I would rather have the more versatile guy, but I think Bill will value White's smoothness more, considering he will be a receiver 90% of the time and will rarely be running the tackles.
Yeah that's what I'm saying, White doesn't do much between the tackles but won't be asked to do that very often at all. Lewis can, but Bill may not value that skill as much considering it's a much more receiver-type role and he already has Blount and Gray for the regular rushes.Another difference is leg strength and the ability to run between the tackles.

Thing is, with Lewis, McDaniels' favorite shotgun draw play would actually be a legitimate play, as opposed to just getting 2-3 yards generally.
I absolutely agree and I could be totally wrong, I'm just saying how I feel about things right now in a "have to pick one" scenario.It's a nice thing to have a strong pass catching back who has ability to run inside though, BB would value it quite a lot actually as it makes a more diverse player. Bill loves that.
I don't quite get the argument that "he may not prefer one player who can do two things when he has two players to fill those roles".

IMO he will keep both.
Cadet is not the same player as Lewis or White.After watching this video, I'd love to understand this boards obsession with Cadet.
He looks slower and FAR less shifty than Lewis or White. 90% of his catches appeared as if my deceased grandparents were the ones in coverage.
You guys complain that White and Vereen went down when the wind blew on them? Watch the clips of Cadet vs the Lions, if he had ANY form of a juke he would have had 300 yards in that game. There were 3 or 4 times he no defender within 2-3 yards of him and still failed to get extra yards. I couldn't believe the lack of ability to break those tackles.
That's when he's not already falling to the turf before the would-be tackler arrives.
I respect that he was a fan favorite for NO, but I watch Lewis and I see Danny Woodhead (in terms of movement, not production). I see nothing of Cadet that gets me even remotely excited.
Dependable would be a word I'd label him with. That's not a bad thing, for sure, but you have fans on this board that talk him up as a total superstar.

Loved how clutch Woodhead was. Never quit. One of my favorite players over the last few years.Ah, my bad, I must have just misinterpreted you then.
I agree, both will be on the roster one way or another. I prefer Lewis over White for reasons I've stated thousands of times I feel already, lol.
I see White as Vereen and Lewis as Woodhead in their playing ability/style. I'd take Woodhead 7 days a week and twice on Sunday.
