Isaiah Pead (1 Viewer)

Coach Adam Gase said he's been "very impressed" with RB Isaiah Pead.
 
"Every time he gets in the game, he seems to pop one," Gase said. "When he gets in the game, I’m thinking, ‘Let’s call plays for him and try to give him a chance to show his skill set.' It just seems like, when he gets in there, whether run game or pass game, he seems to make something happen." Pead has rushed 14 times for 98 yards through two preseason games, adding two catches for 27 yards. Pead received some first-team reps Friday night against the Cowboys and seems to have a good grip on the No. 3 running back job with rookie Kenyan Drake sidelined for weeks with an injury.

Copying this post from the Zero-RB thread...

As crazy as this sounds, I'm getting a bit of a Knowshon Moreno in Denver vibe from this Pead situation.  No one talked about him coming into camp... no one expected a thing.  There are two guys ahead of him that are expected to get all the work in Foster and Ajayi... yet the coach is raving about Pead.  Pead is producing the most in games.  Pead is now getting 1st team reps in practices and games.  Pead's got the high draft pedigree, even if he's never done much with it (just like Moreno).

In Moreno's case, it all boiled down to keeping Manning's jersey clean.  I don't think that's the same as this situation, but I do wonder how much Foster has left.  And it's not like Ajayi is proven (plus he was a 5th rounder himself of a prior coaching staff).  Pead's probably worth a roster spot in deeper leagues right now just to see what happens.

RB Isaiah Pead got snaps with first team at Dallas. Don't be surprised if that happens again Thurs. vs. Atlanta.

{Update: Gase said the team will have to look at Pead's ankle Friday to further understand the seriousness. Fede's knee will be further examined Friday but Gase said "it's nothing major." The coach said Jenkins is ok. The coach did not mention McCain's injury.] LINK

Weird -- cause one beat writer called it a hamstring...

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero 12h12 hours ago
Isaiah Pead has a hamstring injury. Questionable to return.

Jelani Jenkins (ankle) & Isaiah Pead (hamstring) said they were held out as a precaution. Both would've played through it in season.

That said... I'm intrigued here.  Foster's going to start... and Ajayi is likely next up, but Foster's injury prone as can be and Ajayi is rather unproven.  Pead just needs to keep making plays like he's done to this point.

Isaiah Pead is a first down machine in practice. Same thing happens in games. The irony!

Isaiah Pead with the starters. And again making plays.

Dolphins RB Isaiah Pead (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 1.
Pead was limited in practice all week. He has a chance to be active with Jay Ajayi a healthy scratch. Damien Williams and Kenyan Drake will back up Arian Foster.

I hadn't heard anything in a while and got worried.  Glad he's going to live.

 
From Rotoworld this morning....

(University of)  Cincinnati coach Tommy Tuberville said Isaiah Pead "lost part of his left leg" in a car accident last weekend.

Yep - was coming in here to post the update 

sounds like he's damn lucky to be alive. 

Isaiah Pead - RB -  Free Agent


Cincinnati coach Tommy Tuberville said Isaiah Pead "lost part of his left leg" in a car accident last weekend.
It is devastating news for a guy who was still fighting for his NFL career. "I spoke with his mom yesterday," Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. "He's struggling, and he's going to have a tough road. We're hoping that he'll come through this, but his career is over and he was an outstanding young man while we had him. I want to make sure their family knows we care about them." We wish Pead the best in his recovery.
