Respect. I hear what you're saying, but "meh" production is all we need. I would feel comfortable with a vet presence who can play all aspects of the game to spell Blount and bring the younger guys along. The age concerns me a bit, as some have said, but I still think this guy is perfect for our team and offense. With all of the other guys I've seen suggested for "sign the beast," this is one I would feel extremely good about.
Why? Why do we need anything? There's already a backlog of RBs on the team, and the last thing there's room for is an over-the-hill RB with drastically declining health and production who doesn't play special teams.
If you are looking for a number 1 RB, yes most probably. But if you want a better receiving RB -- especially someone who is better at pass protection -- than who we have so far then I don't see a problem bringing him in and checking him out. Nobody expects him to rush for 1k..
Better than Dion Lewis? You sure about that?

I don't understand the need to go get a 34 year old RB who's best days are 3 years behind him (4 now, if you go by the calendar), just because he had a couple of good games against the Patriots.
Seriously. We good at running back, y'all. If he played Guard or Cornerback, that might be a different story.
