It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I've seen Gronk get the ball slapped out of his hands a few times resulting in incompletions or fumbles that were recovered by his teammates. I believe that stat is referring to fumbles lost. So I go back to what I've said before. Hold on to the ****ing ball Gronk!
Clearly it wasn't that vital a role given that Gillislee was a healthy scratch for almost half the games last season.
To repeat:
There's nobody coming from STs to help out in a pinch this year. That option's now in Miami.
Bolden had all of 13 carries last year and 1 the year before, all of which came in garbage time. That option was never an option that was exercised anyways.
They'll bring in a free agent or sign Ralph Webb off the practice squad and whoever it is will get a few carries here or there and may even have a good game or two. Michel, the first round pick with special talent, will be on the field next week and he and Burkhead will share the load with White pitching in and by the end of the game we'll have forgotten Jeremy Hill ever existed.

White will share the load? SB51 game winner aside, he stinks as a runner. Michel will play Sunday? Says who?
You need the option for when you need the option. You don't need to option for those times when you don't need the option. That's common sense.
What? This doesn't make any sense. It's like calling Ebner an option at safety and Slater an option at receiver. Bolden was a special teamer and they treated him as such and even when absolutely forced into using him as a running back, they instead decided to exhume Steven Jackson's corpse and convince it to play football. It's not like they're forbidden from signing a free agent and there are plenty of more talented running backs without teams right now, so I don't know why anyone would lament Bolden's loss as a running back. (In kick coverage, it's perhaps lamentable.)
It makes perfect sense. You posting impressively silly posts doesn't invalidate the sensible response to those silly posts. And nobody's lamenting Bolden's loss as a running back.
I like him but hes too small.
I'm a little pissed with Develin too. But ultimately offensive players don't know how to tackle, although Develin does play some special teams. So yeah god damn it Develin!If your going to blame Gronk you might as well throw some Develin's way since he blindly lowered his head and hit his own teammate.
Just saw that Orleans Darkwa could be an option to replace Hill as he's been in a couple of times for workouts..
They are actually really thin at RB right now. Burkhead is a decent between the tackles runner, but he’s not a guy you want to have many carries because he’ll get injured. White is an exceptional pass catcher but we all know he’s not the greatest between the tackles runner. He has gotten better though. Hill was able to do anything and it’s unfortunate we won’t be able to see what he could really do. I really hate this injury.
Michel needs to ice up son!
