Joique Bell anyone?

I personally feel RB has the most questionable depth for us going into this season. I have the pleasure of watching the poo lions because I live in Michigan, and last year was not a representation of his ability, the oline was horrendous. When the oline came to play in 2014 he reminded me a lot of J Stew. He's only entering his 5th season, and he himself has made note that 3 teams have offers on the table for his services, and I wonder if we are one of them. Would you be objective to this small but could be crucial move, considering Stewarts injury history? Or are you more confident in Tolbert and CAP handling the duties if an injury (knock on wood) were to occur?

For those that haven't seen much of him, he does have some punch to his runs and decent speed.

Might be the only one here that isn't confident. Tolbert has great intangibles, and is great in a short yardage pinch. Beyond that, I don't have a ton of confidence in our run game if (hypothetically) Stew were out. In the only regular season game we lost last year, CAP was the leading rusher.

I'd be fine with bringing him in, if the price is right. It would be silly not to give him a shot if he's cheap. Just pick the best in camp.

I like him, but we've got enough competition in the RB group already. There are teams out there that could put him right into rotation, though.

Me, I just couldn't see letting one of our guys go for him. No slam on Joique, but I like who we have right now.

He's still unsigned.

There's probably a reason for that.

If he has three offers on the table as he claims he does then that reason is because he doesn't want to sign, not because no one wants him. To your point though, I'll agree that it could be because no one thinks he's worth what he thinks he's worth.

    • Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.
    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
