James White injury

Very sad for White who is on a one year deal. Also for the team. Lose a Captain and only third down back. Big hit for a struggling offense.

Could we sign leveon bell from Baltimores practice squad

Exactly. Bill is famous for treating everyone the same. Not playing favorites. Is Bill going to bench his son, Lil Steven for failing to get Wino on the field for this critical play that resulted in a TD because we had 10 men on the field to their 11?

We're playing marbles while rest of the league is playing checkers.

Saw this article and there are some interesting names and one that wasn't mentioned:

10 potential trade targets for the Patriots at running back

With James White injured, the Patriots could be in the market for a pass-catching running back at the NFL trade deadline; here are some potential targets.

985thesportshub.com

Here are the 10 names: (these are my comments, not the articles)
Marlon Mack - Can't pass block so I doubt BB has any use for him.
Phillip Lindsay - Intriguing and currently stuck behind Ingram. Texans have RB depth with David Johnson, Burhkead and Miller behind Lindsay and Ingram.
J.D. McKissic - Can pass block. Is a Free Agent at the end of the year. They don't have a lot of depth to make a trade, though.
Miles Sanders -Pipe dream. They only have 3 backs on the team and no one on the PS.
Chase Edmonds - Pipe dream.
Melvin Gordon - Pipe dream.
Corey Clement - He's an afterthought on the Cowboys offense that has Elliot and Pollards (5 total offensive plays. Primarily special teamer). Jerrah might just be willing to part with him.
Tarik Cohen - Coming off a major injury and still on the PUP. No thanks.
Ty Montgomery -I'd rather give the snaps to Rham than a 30 something that would have to learn the play-book.
Jamaal Williams - Intriguing. He signed a 2 year deal with the Lions. He's consistently caught 25-35 passes each year. I doubt the Lions trade him though.

The one not mentioned is Rex Burkhead. It's interesting that he hasn't dressed to this point for Houston. The problem is the injury history for Rex.

James White on basically season-ending IR is a kick in the nuts on a multitude of levels.

James White on basically season-ending IR is a kick in the nuts on a multitude of levels.

Yeah it's brutal on multiple levels. How many times have we seen him, with his trademark efficiency, get us a first down in a clutch situation?

We also are in year 3 of abysmal OL pass blocking so losing our best pass blocking RB just as we're breaking in a rookie QB is, shall we say, not exactly ideal.

I had low expectations for this year because I don't think we should expect all these new additions and a rookie QB to pan out right away but we're at risk of Mac picking up some extremely bad habits and hurting his development. I'm not throwing in the towel on him by any means but this is extremely sucky. That '17 pressures, 8 hits, 2 sacks' stat when he was at 35 pass attempts is ****ing brutal and losing White is not going to help.
