PATRIOTS NEWS RB Joey Iosefa Promoted from PS

[patsfan06]

This is the kind of RB I want.

Someone who will take the ball, run hard and not dance around. Here's to hoping he can be that guy.

We sure could use something to break our way this year.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Yeah, I judge by performance, but when you compare his average to wilfork's lowest, Wilfork ran a 4.98.

Would have loved to hand Vince the rock a couple times in the old days, but those days are long gone I'm sure.

If Belichick had let him run the rock once or twice ....

wow ... might have been an all time time 5 Patriot's gif.

No kidding. If you exclude Dan Klecko in 15 years BB has never handed it off to a fatty to slam it in.

I want Shaq to get the rock.

 

[TBR]

His speed looks good enough when I watch some of his highlights

Ridley ran a 4.73 at the combine by the way

Other than Vrabel catching TD passes as a TE, I can't think of too many times when it worked out when players went to the other side of the ball. I remember that Seymour injured his leg and missed time as the lead blocker on a goal line package....

Forum blew up on that one ............

Game speed is way more important than workout speed, but a 4.73 isn't remotely comparable to >5. However, they don't even play the same position. I wouldn't worry about Iosefa's speed. That's not the point.

 

[IcyPatriot]

I'm still an old NFL style of play fan ....

If he is snapping necks back I will be very happy .... old school football is great.

 

[condon84]

He can throw a pretty tight spiral too....

Reminds me of Heath Evans.

Hope it works out.

[Off The Grid]

He's a WingBack ~ "FullBack" to you Earthlings.

He's not a "Running Back", whatever that is.

I, for one, like this Move, even though it's as likely as not to have little appreciable Impact: Chances are better'n average that this is just a Bottom of the Roster and Special Teams Move.

Even so: The Possibility that he'll be in there for a few Snaps, where he can offer that beautiful Hybrid Threat, pounding the Rock for Hard Yards, slipping out into The Flat for a Chain Moving Reception, or blasting a MidFielder ~ that's "LineBacker" to you Earthlings ~ out'f'is socks and tearing open an Hole for Bolden or White is a very appealing one: Those are the Grunt Plays that "quietly" make all the Difference.

He looked a little slow on the linked film and obviously timed slow. Thinking he won't have much impact on special teams. Another wrinkle for JD to work with. Was sad to see Devlin go down. He definitely gave us a wrinkle. Best case Iosef gives us some wrinkles for the next few weeks. Hoping it is someone else come playoff time.

 

[Zuma]

Iosefa lost some weight and no longer has ankle issues. It will be interesting to see how quick he is now.

 

[Joey007]

Give me this guy on a third and short.

 

[Marinlik]

Brady is fast enough for a 40 yard reception! Eh? Eh?

Don't give McDaniels any thoughts about running sideline fades to him all night...

Call me a Pie in the Sky Dreamer, but I'm quietly hoping he can give us back some of what we lost with Devlin going Out.


Note: Use of Capitalization is an Ode, not Snark.

If he were a replacement for Develin, he would have been activated by now. He is a bottom of the barrel, emergency backup to our other two running backs.

And that's fine. We need to have a 3rd RB active.

 

[JMC00]

Ya not sure why some think he is getting called up to run. He's getting called up to block.

 

[n1997y]

He can throw a pretty tight spiral too....

Could he be the emergency QB replacement if Brady can't go and Jimmy G needs a backup?

 

[n1997y]

He might be faster than Ball at the moment.

and lighter weight too?
