ISSUE ONE: the player needs to pick up the blitz.
ISSUE TWO: the player needs to block
ISSUE THREE: we need as emergency injury backup to carry the ball.
I could see us signing a free agent.
If the change of pace you're looking for is 'Slow AF', then yes, JJ Taylor is your guy.JJ Taylor is a perfect change of pace back to Rhams downhill running style. Hate to see him get elevated because of injury, but hoping he finally gets a decent shot at the scat back role.
In the Patriot's offensive system based on size alone McCaffrey would have been considered a third down back, the guy was 200 pounds entering the NFL. But they used him like a bell cow back in Carolina, worse still they put terrible offensive lines in front of him and couldn't pass well.Is his injury rate what you will expect for a RB and the way we use him or is he prone to injuries? The good think is that he is never actually out for the year so we can count on him coming back unlike McCaffery. Since he got paid, don't think he has played more than 10 games a year.
Sounds good, but you still need depth behind him just in case.Rham can handle the load for several weeks.
He's averaged only 16 touches a game this year (including receiving). Last year he carried the ball only 11 times per game.
Rham can be a top back in this league IMO. Sometimes that means shouldering the load.
Unless the Pats converted the remaining salary for this year into SB, they couldn't fit him under their current cap.We could trade for McCaffery. I think that the cost is about $11M per year plus any bonuses.
Wonder what kind of contract damien will get next year. Im sure teams realize how good he is, but hes not durable at all and will not have a single 1k season coming off his rookie deal. If he can be had around the $5m per range I think maybe worth keeping around. This combo is really nice to have and keep both fresh while defenses wear out. Unless strong or the other harris shows something this year, nows a good time.
I'd also like to keep him here, but I don't know if Bill's going to offer him $5M/year for the privilege...
