But on some site he has 4,60 forty range? Is he Harmon replacement or more SS type?
What do people around here think of RB Samaje Perine? I think we need a tough runner to complement White/Lewis and this dude seems like a later round solution.
He reminds me of MJD with his low center of gravity and elite vision.
He's not the fastest guy and will need to get used to running under singleback & I-formation as well as improve pass blocking but he's a natural runner/all-around RB. Currently my third RB after Fournette/McCaffrey.
I love Magloire. At less than 230lbs, he struggles when blocked, but he's so adept at picking his way through the line, as your video shows, that matters less. I wish he was a little more athletic but Magliore is all heart and is an outstanding tackler. He's definitely one of my binkies.
Do you have any thoughts on Ben Gedeon? He's a tad bit bigger but also very athletic.
He's a good solid middle linebacker. That sounds like I'm damning with faint praise and I am a little - I didn't see anything that got my blood pumping, but I didn't see anything that gave me too much concern either. Apart from, and this is where I disagree with you a little, a lack of explosive athleticism. He is 15-20lbs bigger than Magloire though so that's understandable. They're both day 3 linebackers that will need to fill a role on special teams and they're both worthy backup calibre players. There's just something about Magloire that I really like and I'm struggling to define what that is over and above
Thanks. He sounded like an interesting prospect and the reviews on his intelligence and work ethic seemed very Patriots like.
Played cover teams all four years and finished with 23 special teams tackles.
McCaffrey's route running is absurd for a RB. I agree with @manxman2601 that he could replace Amendola. Patient, runs with power, doesn't fumble, etc. Shame we have Lewis/White but he's a beast. Definitely a potential BPA pick and could play with those two anyway in 2017.
I remember watchin some Michael Lombardi interview where he stated that James White looked like Ladain Tomlison in some practices when they evaluated him. Then he said that that look vanished. i am hyped about Mccafrey too, but we will see what plans BB&co have.At this point a lot of posters are overrating White a lot. In my opinion he has shown nothing consistently special about himself and I expect him to leave in FA when his contract is up next year.
I still think he is an option at 32 if the Pats evaluate the same way as some people here have. At this point a lot of posters are overrating White a lot. In my opinion he has shown nothing consistently special about himself and I expect him to leave in FA when his contract is up next year.
Similarly, if McC's route running really is that good he would be the ideal (emergency) depth behind Dola/Edelman and a swiss army knife of mismatches on offense in general. Being able to run the ball somewhat consistently _and_ be "short-range" WR depth is very valuable imho.
All that being said, I am still most concerned about LB and CB2. Can't wait for FA to shine a light on some of that stuff..
