Potential FA RBs

[dallasdave]

Mike Davis racked up 33 yards on seven carries in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chargers.

Davis made an incredible catch in traffic during the first quarter but the play was called back. He'll finish the preseason with 113 rushing yards on 26 carries. The rookie is competing with former rugby star Jarryd Hayne for fourth on the running back depth chart.

This one is interesting with Hayne excelling in both the running and return game my personal feeling here is the 9ers release Davis or Hunter..

Dallas should try to get Davis if he is released !

Monte Ball Monte Ball update...
Montee ball rushed 16 times for 27 yards (1.7 YPC) in the Broncos' final preseason game.

It was a disastrous performance against second- and third-string defenders. Ball had one nice eight-yard run where he broke a tackle and gained extra yards, but after that he was the same sluggish back who has tumbled down the depth chart this preseason. It is difficult to see a future for Ball in Denver, and it would be surprising if he survives final cuts.

He won't even beat out the kid I mentioned from yesterday. I think Ball is going to get cut. When that happens I will be a tad surprised if the Boys don't take a flier on this guy. Not even a full season removed from starter and fantasy darling. He get the TRICH treatment here imo and is given another chance. If the boys bring him in I don't think it will be as the starter I feel it will be to replace Gus.

I like this guy and think he would be good behind the Dallas line.

Rasheem Mostert broke out for 162 yards on 23 touches in Thursday’s preseason loss to the Jets.

He caught 93 yards worth of passes and added another 69 yards on the ground. Mostert has made a compelling case this preseason with 361 yards on 53 touches, though it’s tough to see him overtaking Kenjon Barner for the final spot at running back. He’s likely headed to the practice squad.

No, don't want him.

Zac Stacy ate up 68 yards on 20 rushes and added two catches for 30 yards and a touchdown in Thursday’s preseason win over the Eagles.

It wasn’t the most efficient effort in the world, though Stacy made a few nice plays including a 25-yard catch on a screen from Matt Flynn. Stacy will finish the preseason with 154 rushing yards on 44 carries and seven catches for another 79 yards and two touchdowns. He’ll open the season third on the running back depth chart.

Stacy was never in danger of being released imo.

He is staying

They will not release Davis.

Hunter is a real possibility though

Bears rookie Jeremy Langford rushed nine times for 55 yards in the Bears' preseason finale.

He put a bow on his first NFL preseason with 153 yards on 28 runs (5.46 YPC), adding three receptions for 30 yards. Since a slow exhibition opener, Langford has begun to put heat on Jacquizz Rodgers for the Bears' primary backup job behind Matt Forte. In the event of a Forte injury, we suspect Rodgers and Langford would share time. Ka'Deem Carey could be the odd man out.



Ka'Deem ......nah....

Concur

Hunter is a real possibility though

I would bring him in for a look see !

Terrance West rushed nine times for 35 yards and caught a 16-yard pass in the Browns' preseason finale.

Isaiah Crowell (rest) and Duke Johnson (concussion) did not play, and after the game coach Mike Pettine announced Crowell has the "edge" to start in Week 1 against the Jets. West has remained up-and-down in his second NFL preseason. He will probably mix in behind Crowell until Johnson gets healthy.

What a mess....with that I don't think West or Crowell are going anywhere right now.

Stay at home

James White totaled 36 rushing yards on 10 carries in Thursday’s preseason loss to the Giants.

White also snagged two catches for 21 yards. He juked a few defenders on his way to a nice nine-yard run late in the first half, setting up a 33-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski. White had a chance to secure a role for himself on third downs at the start of camp but was outplayed by Dion Lewis and Brandon Bolden

no

 

[dallasdave]

And they call him Mr Grill....

Chris Johnson rushed 11 times for 45 yards and caught one pass for 10 yards in the Cardinals' fourth preseason game.

He ripped off several chain-moving runs against the Broncos' second- and third-team defenses, showing nice cutback vision and acceleration. Johnson put a move on a defender and gained 10 yards on a swing pass early in the game, and busted through the line on a draw play to pick up 16 yards on a 3rd-and-11. Johnson should be expected to look good against second-team talent, but his acceleration appeared to be intact after an offseason away from football. Johnson should put pressure on Andre Ellington and David Johnson for snaps

We know about him and is off the table

Jay Ajayi exited the Dolphins' preseason finale with a chest injury.

He finished with nine carries for 66 yards and two receptions for 37 yards, including a 26-yarder. A forgotten man in Miami, Ajayi rotated with Mike Gillislee in this one and ran hard with the burst he showed at Boise State. Ajayi got off to a painfully slow start in training camp -- struggling in pass protection and battling a hamstring injury -- but if healthy should open the season on the 53-man roster, ideally ahead of LaMichael James and behind Lamar Miller and Damien Williams.

Just cause a larger group was so high on this kid predraft....can you say OVERRATED!!

Jay is going to stay

Monte Ball is currently and failing again.

Ball would like running behind the Dallas line.

 

[dallasdave]

Currently what? A round peg in a square hole?

 

[dallasdave]

The more I see him play, the more I think he's legit. A load to bring down, he lowered his shoulder at the end of a play that negated whatever forward momentum the defender had and dropped him like a sack of potatoes. Impressive. Can't seem to embed the gif, but worth checking out if you guys haven't seen the play yet:

Total beast, he does it all too, KR,PR, all ST !

 

[dallasdave]

After the Dallas game, I was hoping that Hayne's emergence would force the 9ers to make a tough decision between Davis and Hunter. Doesn't seem like a tough decision anymore as Davis seems like a lock to make the roster.

Great job on the recaps, btw. A few more names to keep an eye on are Watson and Wilder over at Cincy. And though it seems like an impossibility at this point, I'm still keeping an eye on Juwan Thompson of the Broncos. Montee's performance so far has pretty much guaranteed a spot for Thompson.

Thanks for the info

 

[dallasdave]

Thanks! I will keep my eye out for those two as well!

Looks like their could be a lot of people to choose from by Sat !

Unless there's a last minute change, it sounds like the Bears are keeping 4 RBs.
So KaDeem Carey will most likely not get cut.

I think it makes the best sense for them long term to move Matt Forte.

I think it makes the best sense for them long term to move Matt Forte.

I guess I could see that possibly happening if they open 1-4 or something...and the rest of division explodes out of the gate.

Can't see it happening between now and game 1, but I've been wrong before.
