And 1,161 yards last year.
I'd welcome him in for a visit.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings
 

[quote=Schneed10;1169633]Help me here. He rushes for a league high 18 TDs last year, the most of any runner since 2009, and you're leaping to used up?

Could it be that he just wanted too much money maybe?

That's completely possible, but i'm just saying the Patriots historically are very good at knowing when a player has peaked.

I be more concerned that it was the system that got him 18 TD's not what is left in his tank.

The system is not what allowed Blount to run over people on his way to the end zone. The man is a short yardage stud. I think he would be a good fit to help us solve our Red Zone problems. If wear and tear is a concern, make it a one year deal.

I'd try to sign Blount and then draft a more versatile back.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings
 

we got our Blount in Fat Rob. Lets continue to roll our own Blount and add a young baller (Mixon). A 30 year old Blount is stale. Trust me.

Definitely agree. Not sure why some continue to be down on Rob. He could make a nice jump forward in year 2.

I'm with you, but anybody except Mixon. Let some other team deal with his women hitting issues.

we can always kick the tires on shaun alexander, larry johnson, and willie parker.

Fat Rob can't compare to Blount as a goal line back.

Maybe not this second, but let him grow as a player. Id like to see him fatter too. He was trucking dudes in the hole as a rookie...that's a positive.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings
 

I like Rob but he is very vanilla. We can do a lot better.

I'd like Mixon as well.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings
 

A number of experts have associated the Redskins with Dalvin Cook but I just don't see it because Cook has a history of fumbling. We all know how Jay Gruden reacts to fumbling.

I think we'd be more likely to take Kareem Hunt of Toledo in the third round than we would be to take Cook in the first. He has never fumbled in his entire college career.

Nobody here should be shocked to see the Skins draft McCaffery if he is on the board at #17. Jay Gruden is a pass first kind of coach and I've haven't seen a back with McCaffery's receiving skills in a long time. With McCaffery, we wouldn't be talking about 30 carries per game but instead 30 touches. He is a breakaway threat running, receiving, and on returns. There is a lot of value to be had with him.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings
 

There are a lot of pundits high on McCaffery.
If he is as good out of the backfield as they say he is he could really confuse defenses if Thompson is in the same play.
I want defense in this draft but I would not have a hissy fit if we took him at 17.
