He's been a great back up until this last season. Anyone know what happened to him last year?Originally Posted by RuthlessBurgher
injuries and probably not caring because no one around him cared, especially after trading away monroe
Hes one of if not the best pass blocking back in the league and a great receiver....would be awesome to see the midget here
i would be VERY happy with this acquisition.
Watched UCLA play Cal (him vs Lynch) and at the time said, "i just witnessed the best 2 college RBs in a single game i've ever watched". I believe they combined for something like 7 touchdowns. MJD had a punt return and couple rushing and one receiving. It was insane. Unfortunately for Lynch, he was splitting with Justin Forsett (they also had Desean Jackson at WR). Talk about a talent-loaded game.
In any event, I'm DeVille and I approve this acquisition!

1. Leighton Vander Esch, LB, Boise
2. Justin Reid, S, Stanford
Interesting. I'm not sure how much he has left in the tank - he's only 28, but has a lot of wear and tear, but he would certainly be a reliable and versatile backup.
Dont see him signing to be a back up anywhere. But it is interesting.
Very tough market for RBs right now...he might not have a choice.
Would rather sign slowshon though if we are looking for a RB on the cheap that can block and catch
His first 3 years in the league he played second fiddle in a timeshare with Fred Taylor, so actually he does not have as much wear and tear as most 28 year old running backs.
Carries by season:
2006: 166
2007: 167
2008: 197
2009: 312
2010: 299
2011: 343 (led the league with over 1600 yards rushing)
2012: 86 (only played a third of the season due to injury)
2013: 234
He also averages in the neighborhood of 40 or 50 catches per season as well.
He would be effective back in that early-career timeshare role with a lead back again (this time with Le'Veon Bell playing the role of Fred Taylor).
Michael Turner showed that being run into the ground doesnt happen slowly
He was also an every down back, has something like 350 receptions and when he didnt have the ball was a full time blocker
Not as many miles as a ray rice (ran til his wheels fell off between rutgers and baltimore) but pretty close
Would love the pickup, i know we want to get younger but this would be an out of the patriots book signing
would love the signing but i just dont see it happening.
im fairly sure he could get more $ elsewhere and ifs he's gonna take a money hit, it seems like he would pick a contender
