Yeah I don't see what the argument here is by some people. I refrained from commenting because I was targeting him as my 26th player out of 26 in a dynasty league. He's a lottery ticket. If he gets cut, that's easy enough and I pick up a kicker. If he makes the team, he'll have injury prone or largely unproven players in front of him so we'll see what happens.
And the non "long shot" on the 'Boys RB depth chart is?
Bully! That's precisely the point!
And it's certainly arguable that The Underwear Thief remains so. It's really difficult to see a clear starter in this group at all.
Not sure if he can catch the ball well enough out of the backfield, let alone field kicks. But we'll see.
Well like I said, I watched his highlight reel and came away unimpressed. That's not supposed to happen.
do you not like guys who break tackles and run away from DBs? He looks fast with good vision to me. Not sure what you are watching. His weakness is in the passing game and he just wasn't used in that role...
42nd round.
I don't play IDP but I gotta assume at that point, what's the risk? My 25/26th rounds in a non-IDP were Ryan Williams and Lache. In fact I need one of them to either not make the team or go to IR in the preseason because I don't have a kicker at the moment. I'll shoot for the fences and it's no big deal if they both repeat what they've done in their career so far.

Do you think anyone spent "too much" on a guy that was a third round rookie pick before his rookie season and did nothing but get released by three teams during that rookie season? He was a waiver wire add for 99.9% of his owners I'm sure.
At this point, yes, he's a ww add for almost everyone.
i spent 40% of blind bid cash on him, that's like tge max for too much maybe...who knows what that would have amounted to
Anticipating Darren McFadden or Ryan Williams potentially getting banged up does seem like a pretty foolish stance to take.
Those guys can both get injured and he still doesn't touch the field. He's 5th on the depth chart.
That would then make him third on the depth chart with Dunbar being more of a third down type back - so there could potentially be some opportunity to see the field and then it would be on him to prove his worth. I'm not arguing that he's anything more than a long shot - but he was certainly one to take a chance on for as cheap as he was.
THe rap sheet on Gus Johnson says he's fairly worthless as a pass catcher and even worse in pass protection and he's not a chain mover, despite his build. I guess that tells why he was undrafted.
Notice I didn't claim "give this guy 20 pass protections and he'll keep his QB upright!" All he needs are carries. If this kid never sees the field during a regular season game I will be super bummed! Don't let a stud go from 7+ yards a carry to never more than practice squad. Please, Jerry.
This is too overboard. It's not Lache at all.
Doesn't matter how many carries he gets. If you cannot pass protect in the NFL, you're not going to get carries. It's that simple.
MJD, DMC, Toby Gerhart, a dead legged Ben Tate, all the Arizona RB's beyond Ellington were not capable of running the football last year but were given the opportunity to do so. I don't have faith in NFL personnel people 100%. They are human and judge things beyond simply ones running ability. Most of the time they are correct in their assessments and we follow their lead in our team construction. This just happens to be one of those times where, while I don't necessarily feel they are wrong for why they didn't keep Seastrunk around, I feel raw talent is high and if the intangibles come around its not something I wish to miss on. Especially if it happens behind the Dallas oline. Hopefully he breaks camp with the team. Probably more likely on PS again but I'm holding my breath and its as good a joker to have in your hand as any.
Yeah, but with Blount's issues who knows what was going on with him...could say the same of Seastrunk, he's allegedly a weird dude, and a guy coaches don't like. Not sure if that's a comment on work ethic, personality, etc. or if it's just internet rumor but I've seen it around multiple places.
Blount cut himself. It was a tight race. He had four chances to pound it in from the one and failed each time.
Says the guy who spent 40% of his blind bid money on him. 40%.... is about %39 too high.loose circuits said:
