Sign the Beast XLIX: RB Pierre Thomas - Make It Happen, Please

[Ring 6]

Honestly I don't think Thomas offers much more as a 3rd down RB than Brandon Bolden. Bolden was serviceable in that role in 2013. I would just use Bolden and develop White or a rookie as the season goes along.

James White was big talk in training camp. Vereen did as much as White did as a rookie maybe even less so I wouldn't concede that he cannot just step into the 3DRB role as Vereen did for Woodhead.

I disagree. Bolden was godawful in that role.

I disagree. Bolden was godawful in that role.

Fair enough, I'm not suggesting he was good I just thought he was serviceable enough to give us time to develop a younger player (White or a draft pick).

In fact, I can't imagine any NFL team signing Chris Johnson. It's just not worth the aggravation of having a player murdered or murdering someone in a gang shooting...

Dunno
Ya gotta admit that's the Patriot Way!

Pierre Thomas woud be a great alternative he would be cheap and great insurance if the others guys dont work out. History have shown that BB will not use a Rookie as 3rd down RB. They are some gems at RB who fits the Bill that could be add well into day 2 of the draft. One thing is definite our next 3rd down RB will be more of a threat than Vereen on Draws or the run in general.
