Lewis cost 2x as much but he is on a place for about 1000 yards from scrimmage.

I'd still rather have Sony and White.

Do we have dead money on Gillislee?

Wish we had resigned Dion Lewis instead of the always getting hurt Burkmeister.

Lewis was injury-prone at the time too, signing either of them was going to present that risk.

Hey @Triumph, read a book (if you can).

Or just continue to be nasty. Your call.

Thanks, but I'd rather make a ham sandwich.

Bullet dodged .Thank God

Best case is deserved. Team has had crap luck at RB

2014- Ridley- IR
2015- Lewis & Blount IR
2016- Lewis IR for 1/2 the year but otherwise healthy
2017- Burkhead hurt a couple of times but otherwise healthy
2018- Hill IR

Also have Burkhead on IR this year...

I don't think so.

I consider week-to-week to be wonderful news, considering what I was expecting when I first saw the play. Hopefully the young man gets well soon.

Wow, bullet dodged. I figured even the best case scenario would have him missing a 4-6 weeks at least.

It still might, but with the bye and Buffalo games, we probably couldn’t realistically ask for anything more. This is great news.

Edit: just saw another report suggesting that it may not be too bad. My expectations are for him to return in a month after the bye week. That seems reasonable.

Actually, the QBs liked having Pass around. BB mentioned it in Patriots Reign.

I read Patriot Reign and didn't remember that, but I knew there had to be someone there who liked him. He was around for the first three SB teams.

Btw, I met him a few times at a charity event and he's very likable. He also looks like the last guy anyone would want to try and tackle.

White is on pace for about 1,300 yds from scrimmage (and 16 TDs).
Michel, before he got hurt, was on pace for about 1,130 yds from scrimmage (and 10 TDs).

If BB's not too pissed off at him, and Matt P. is willing to part with him, Blount would be an easy back to transition back to the system.

Lions are still in the hunt, though. Blount's getting about 10 touches a game and has 3 TDs. Doubt Matty P would dump him.

That’s not the same thing.
Expect and at least have very different meanings.

i understand what you're saying but that's what the quote is indicated. what changes here in meaning " i expect it to at least rain for half the day...anything less would be a relief"

This is a fair 2nd guess. I've never gotten the fascination with Burkhead.

Especially when people used his name and "power back" in the same sentence.

Sony lacked burst before this injury, can't see him getting any better.

robertweathers said:

Who do you cut and who do you sign? Gillislee? He sucks.

Click to expand...

Grissom or Keionta Davis would be the 1st two on the list.

Who to sign?
Someone had a list of backs that included Derrick Henry, Gillislee, Darkwa, Webb, Farrow.

There is also the potential for a trade for someone like Prosise, Abdullah, or Blount.

Patjew said:

That’s right. And Weiss hated him for some reason.

BB and Weiss both.. That's why they cut him. To send a message to him.. He came back with a changed attitude..

Wasn’t Pass the swagger guy?
