Mostly Perine and short plays to Crowder. Byron Marshall did come in a few times but didn't (and won't) have anywhere near the usage Chris Thompson had. Unless they try to sign a vet receiving back, it's going to be a revamp of the offensive play-calling. If Reed was healthy I could see alot more of 2 TE sets in the future.
Breakaway speed isn’t his game. The power back role is, and was in college.EBF said:
What’s your feeling on both going forward? I don’t know that I trust Washington/Gruden to not add another RB to the mix this offseason. KC could but Reid has mostly been loyal to younger players (vets have been a different story).
From a dynasty perspective it's too early to say on Perine, it'll depend on how he finishes out the season with the opportunity he's going to be given. I haven't had the chance to watch the entire game yet but from the clips I've seen it does seem as if the game has slowed down a for him, he was actually recognizing running lanes.
Good q, my guess is employing Davis a little more in flares and outs, and more out to the WRs.
Good stuff.
1) NYG - Now that Giants seem to care, not a defense I'd target considering Perine is a power back who can't catch (Snacks Harrison is a beast), but Thursday Night F*ckball... it depends on your options.
Full disclosure, I consider myself an unbiased Giants fan and a guy who was very down on Perine. I will watch more of the game tape vs. the Saints. But the Giants are tricky to gauge recently because in a few of those games Week 6-10 they quit... Week 11 at home they played hard.
Yea run funnel defense. To be honest the first time I've seen the term "runnel D" was in Stompin' Tom's post just now but it sounded good so I went with it. Too bad that wordplay won't work with pass funnel too.
I've just called those funnel Ds -- D's that funnel production to WRs as they are good at defending the run -- with runnel being the inverse.
No brained to spend my remaining FAAB on him?
1) Depending on what your league is, yes.
).
According to the Redskins official site, the only RB on the practice squad is LeShun Daniels, rookie out of Iowa. No mention of Christine Michael.1) Depending on what your league is, yes.
2) I definitely think Martin is droppable, hard to drop Mixon when locked into so much volume. However, Perine is locked into more volume and actually did something with it.
3) I like Murray a little more than Perine because of his potential in the passing game (he has run a LOT of passing routes). But if Washington decides to use Perine in the passing game by default... oh boy. 80/20 Perine/Murray sounds spot on, no lower than 75/25 (trying to get both
Personally, my guess is that they rework the O and feature Crowder/Reed (if healthy)/Grant/Marshall short, but if they don't and Perine could find a way to get 3-4 receptions a game AND 18+ carries... that's like Zeke Elliot usage. You don't see that everyday and you cannot ignore the chance that could occur. Again, I'm not even a big fan of Perine but you have to play the opportunity share game, and there is no word on Washington signing a passing down back yet (Christine Michael is on their practice squad but not a passcatcher).
Yeah I had edited it a few minutes ago (old article until I found their actual chart). Marshall had very few snaps after the injury to Thompson.
Was just about to say Hightower made some sense. Trying to scan the NFL rosters ... not many practice squad RBs anywhere of note. Certainly not that fit that mold any better than Marshall does.
This tweet should actually read that they signed Bronson Hill to the active roster, from the practice squad. That makes you kinda wonder if some team was trying to sign away Hill and the Cardinals made the move to protect him.
Andre Ellington? Dammit he's ten times better than Marshall. If Washington signs him he could take ALL the pass catching work and get 3-5 carries, I'm surprised you aren't familiar with his work in Arizona.JFS171 said:
Chris Thompson is basically doing what Ellington never could. I am not sure if Ellington doesn't fit in the Arians offense, lost his juice due to injuries or if Arians burnt all the tread off his tires by trying to make him a workhorse, but Ellington doesn't seem capable of doing what Thompson was doing.
He could never stay healthy, especially after that one year he was the feature back. Not durable enough or good enough in pass protection...
Shut up, shut up, shut up somebody ahead of Washington claim him! Don't let him drop to them!
I doubt it matters for Perine. If Ellington can walk in there and take significant rushing attempts from Perine than Perine was doomed from the start. Perine isn't going to be getting many passes thrown his way and that's a significant part of the Washington offense. Whether it's Ellington or Marshall, it's irrleveant IMO.
IMO this was likely all along. Neither is a superstar, and they complement each other very well.
Thompson was always an extreme case, but Ellington can easily replicate Thompson in the passing game, especially since he's almost as many receptions this year as Thompson in less work.
I see Ellington as a known quantity, and one that’s useful in fantasy in limited bursts, but never ends up being worth what we think it is. Arians, a pretty smart coach, just decided he’d rather have Bronson Hill on his roster than Andre Ellington, who lost his job to DJ Foster on Sunday.
Ayyy who wears leather while water skiing anyways?
