RB 1/2 Punch

Jerry could have kept Dowdle for just a little bit more than he spent on the 2 JAG's he brought in.

Dowdle and Blue would have been a nice one-two punch.
I just don't understand why they wouldn't have kept Dowdle.

It goes against the "we like our guys" mentality. Makes me wonder if they low balled him & he rightfully told them "No, I deserve to get paid."
 
Only way we keep Deuce now is two fold. Injury at the position or special teams. If Sanders gets hurt, THEN maybe Deuce sticks around. Mighty mouse better prove himself. Under MM, he never really got a fighting chance. He never wanted him. Mike was loyal to a fault, with Zeke and Pollard.
 
Javonte Williams will be running back 1 plus he will be another year removed from the knee injury. Mafa will get plenty of snaps in the preseason.
 
Really I thought speed didn't matter you remember when everyone was talking about tutorial mcmillan you know TET everybody wanted him on the team said don't worry about his speed it's about being a football player how about Cameron Scatabe remember when everyone said it's not a big deal about his speed now he's with the New York Giants I wonder how they feel about him now? Sometimes you have to throw the speed out remember that guy named Jerry Rice one of the slowest number one Hall of Fame wide receiver I mean the guy was really slow hell Michael Irvin wasn't that fast I'm just saying sometimes I don't even know why you're talking about speed the only reason we're talking about speed when it comes to Jayden Blue is because that's one of his assets but he also can play the game he's not a three down back he's not a power back but his speed is going to be an asset but when people don't have that type of speed they still have other assets..

So I'm trying to figure out what your point is because when it comes to the bigger guys it's not about the speed it's about their game how fast did they get to the whole can they be patient did they have the timing do they have any cuts I mean do they go down on first contact balance there's yards after contact there's a lot of things that are important when we're talking about running backs.

And speed is not necessarily one of them or I should say lack of speed because they could have power they could have instincts and vision and they don't need to be really fast I don't believe Emmett Smith was fast but the reason people bring up the speed with Jayden Blue is because it's an absolute weapon it's an asset to have but he's still not going to be our starting every down back so we need a good mix in that room...
At the 2005 NFL Pro Day, 36-year old Emmitt ran three timed 40-yard dashes. He clocked 4.46, 4.52, 4.53. I'm sure he was a bit quicker at age 26. He's just one of those players that is faster than he looks.
