If healthy, yes. I like him better then Hillman and he is a better fit for our Offense. I'd think about bringing him in and going with DMC, Morris and Mathews. Carrying Smith at FB or sending him to PS. When Elliott comes back, just cut or trade one of the three. By next year, if you can hold Smith on the PS, he should be ready to make the team. JMO
I think that if we were to sign him he would come in and be the starter with Zeke out. I like him over DMac. It all comes down to money, but yes I'd kick the tires.

He is better than Hillman and more versatile than Morris but we need some young blood that can play STs too

STs is the issue but if it's only 6 games, you could probably bring Smith back up or another ST guy and ride with that the rest of the season.

Wow, I really havent followed Mathews since he went to Philly. He was pretty dang good WHEN healthy with San Deigo. I attributed alot of his poor performances to Chip intially. I figured after that is was injuries. I dont know if hes better than DMC or Alf but I think its fair to ask.

I also dont think Zekes suspension stays at 6 and the Cowboys like thier rbs so I highly doubt wed kick the tires.

Those two are very very over-rated around here........... if Zeke misses games we are in trouble

DMC can bust a big one when it is blocked but so can I
AMorris is one dimensional and loses a step every year

They both only averaged 3.6 YPC last year behind the The Wall

Off-season, preseason Alf is a stud. The problem is Im not sure where that guy goes when the regular season rolls around.

I think he's better than what we have behind Zeke, IF healthy but his problem since he came into the league was staying healthy.

No thanks on Dallas signing him, Can't and won't make the club from the tub..

Death, Taxes and Ryan Mathews getting injured during the season. Hate to see Philly let him go because that was a wasted roster space for the Eagles.

No big surprise honestly. The only real surprise to me was that they didn't do it last year and just dump the entire backfield that they'd signed the year before.

McFadden is very underrated here. He would've led the league in rushing in 2015 if he played the full season. And he's still under 30 years old. He's by far the second best RB on this team and is more talented than the starters in Philly, N.Y. I think thr Commanders got a great one in Samje Perine.
