PoeticG Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Some nice moves, should be a good change of pace back. I think he's comparable to Dion Lewis, let's hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Well, he is a resign... so he's been cut once already. Looked slow to my eye and sure enough his measurables aren't great (4.7-ish 40 time) http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=92375&draftyear=2013&genpos=RB But agree that his cuts, balance look good... also seems to set up blocks nicely.

JAFBF Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 One, I have to wonder why we cut him the first time. Two, if our line could open up holes like that Trent would be putting up 2,000 - 3,000 yards a Season Did see some nice moves, and he seems have good hands, but I still have to wonder.

Guest Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 He'll get a ton of carries in the fourth preseason game while the guys that made the team are rested. Maybe they will see what he can do as a kickoff returner too. Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballpeen Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Good point Zombo. Also, possibly the team is thinking Lewis might be better off on IR and are bringing back a guy who might fill a role catching passes out of the backfield. He clearly doesn't have the quicks Lewis has and won't break many, but maybe he is sure handed and can gain the 6-7 yards you want on a swing pass to the flats.

thenew23 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 They cut him and picked up Maysonet on 5/21 It looks like those two will be fighting for a temporary roster spot until Hardesty gets back. Unless Chud and Norv can get a guy familiar with their system who gets cut from another squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Possibly a stopgap until they see what comes out of the waiver wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shep Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 They chose him over Steve Slaton. Wow, Slaton must really blow. I remember when he was supposed to be a first round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
