You never know? What if Wentz goes down in the 4th game of the season? Or Barkley? It's any one's guess at this point in the off season. Hell, I don't even know who our other RB is yet.
Care to wager who has a better record at the end of the year? My Eagles and their declining RB or your Giants with their superstar RB? Seems like a lock for you if you believe what your typing.
I know that, and I've seen his stats for all 3 years of his NFL career, if you think he's on the decline, you are certainly entitled to your opinion... Even if you're wrong.
That's the genius of the move. We only need him for 1 year and we got him at a bargain basement price. And there's no "maybe" to it. Dude knocks defenders on their asses when he's blocking.
He's averaging 1000 yds per season. A little over 4 yards per carry with 2 fumbles in a 3 year NFL career. He's a power runner and we won't be using him for much more. His best asset to our offense is his ability to pick up short yardage runs and he's a beast of a pass rush blocker. Best part is, we can use him and abuse him all year and pick up a compensatory pick when he heads into FA next year. That's a win - win.
Let's not forget the fact that Bell said he wouldn't play for the Jets with a 60 mil contract last year. I'm thinking the dude is a concussion risk and not that many teams were interested.
Yet how many times have we seen it called? Here's what it comes down to. Every game has missed or bad calls. Every damned one of them. Your team has to put up enough points to overcome said missed or bad calls.
I disagree. He is supposed to be a professional football player. He plays a game for a living. Knowing where to line up is fundamental. He blew it. He should be called out for it.
