Dion Lewis

[warker97]

it looks like New England is going to let him test free agency. This is an element that we were missing last season. A speedy and shifty back that can catch and move the chains. Would you make a play for him? I think we should take a look over Jeremy Hill or Burkhead.

 

[jay94]

No. He will be to much, and we have way to many other needs.

 

[CWR]

We dont throw to Zeke enough as it is. Dunbar got some burn for a limited run a few years back and he was excellent before getting hurt. Since then we stopped utilizing that part of the offense. I dont think its because of personnel though. I think its because our coaches are weak.

Why sign these expensive guys when we can draft a guy

 

[cowboyec]

Love the player but not the price to get him.

 

[Hardline]

Too many good RBs in the draft.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

I'm using the one of those 4th round compensatory picks on a guy with good hands and little juice, at a much cheaper price tag.

 

[Mr_437]

Acquiring Dion Lewis would a poor use of resources considering his price tag. Coaches wouldn't know how to use him anyway.

I was told at draft time 2 years ago that what made Zeke worthy of the 4th overall pick and set him apart from other RB’s is his ability to block and catch. Now everybody wants to throw resources at a 3rd down back so we can take our best player and 4th overall pick off the field in the most important down in football. Can somebody please explain this to me????

Zeke is a complete back, correct.

But in reality, he cannot play every snap on offense. We will wear him down by his fourth season lol

Coaches seem hard set on rotating Zeke out on third down much more than they should.

 

[jobberone]

Coaches not knowing how to use him smells like agenda to me. They knew how to use Dunbar.

His cost is unknowns although almost certainly more then a draft pick. But you know what you're buying. The difference in costs vs a draft pick is what is real. You're almost certain to know what that will be vs what R he's drafted at before he signs a contract.

Why does Leveon get all snaps? David Johnson as well. Maybe.......coaching?

 

[IheartRomo]

Ezekiel Elliott is the best running back on planet Earth. It’s hard to describe how good he truly is.

Spending even one dime beyond his salary is a waste when we have plenty of other holes to fill.

 

[waving monkey]

the train of thought is not to wear down a good player rotate him out occasionally
If a coach wants to use a player consonantly that's fine but there are other schools of thought

 

[Juggernaut]

Would you make a play for him?

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Defense Defense and more Defense.....only thing we need on Offense is a new QB....Zeke is GOD..no help needed there!!!

This, there is a kid by the name of Sony Michel that would work.

 

[ShiningStar]

kids, lets keep ignoring that free safety, its what keeps us winning.

Then we don’t need a 3rd down back. We need a backup RB that can come in for a series or two each game. You don’t overpay in free agency for that player.
