adam Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Nice signing, formerly of the Seahawks. I almost posted about him this morning after reviewing FA RBs. Was thinking Ware, Coleman, or Davis would make sense and now this. I like the signing, it reminds me of Trey Burton last season. "Davis ran 112 times for 4.6 yards per carry and caught 34 passes on 42 targets" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Not a lead back but replaces Cunningham. Their RB is coming in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Good speed but nothing great, good hands, and has a bit of wiggle to him. Goodbye Mizzell and Cunningham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan2000 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Definitely an upgrade at the RB3 spot. It'll be interesting what our RB group looks like heading into camp. Davis and Cohen are the only sure things. With all the trade rumors surrounding Howard (what's new?), we're either looking to replace him via trade/FA or Draft. I'm torn on Howard as on one hand I like him and feel like he can contribute to this offense especially if he continues to improve on receiving. On the other hand if we could bring in someone who is more naturally suited for Nagy's offense then that could work out well for both parties. Howard is more build for ground and pound. I just don't want to see us trade Howard just to trade him in other words make a change just to make a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 I like how he always finishes downhill. Not super explosive, but definitely a serviceable upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted March 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Watching those highlights, if you didn't know it, he would seem like an RB1. He follows his blocks, finds the hole, knows when to cut back and is way more elusive than Howard. There are some great examples, but look at 2:34 on the YouTube video in AZ's post, he completely de-cleated Sean Lee and then made another move to make it to the first down sticks. I have never seen Howard do anything close to that. If they keep Howard, I see it being a true RBBC, between Howard, Davis, and Cohen with a sprinkling of Patterson for good measure.

Stinger226 Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 There will be a rookie in the mix. Although I don't want to see Howard gone, if feels like he will be a draft day traded player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
