Jonathan Brooks parts of Joe Person Athletic article dec 8

I see Brooks as any other late round or UDFA at this point. If he makes the team, fine. If not, nothing lost. Nothing against the guy and hate his career has been derailed by this injury, but a great run blocking line can turn an average RB into a great RB and vice versa. Easy to get lots of yards as a back when you aren't getting 1st contact until 2 or 3 yards past the LoS.

I'm not a fan of rolling with Chuba and Dowdle on sizeable contracts next year.  I'd rather let Dowdle walk and either sign another cheap vet or let Chuba be our feature back again.  

We don't know that Dowdle will be pricey. Remember we signed him for nickels after a 1k+ yd rushing campaign.

I was under the impression this is a one year prove it deal.  He is in the top 10 in yards but even if he is mid for a contract, I'm not really interested.  He is starting to slow down at the end of the year like he did in Dallas.
