Sugashane Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Awesome. Guy is a top returner, can be depth at WR and HB, and can really be used for Nagys gadget plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epyon Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 unexpected and interesting.... but the dude is dumber than a box of rocks, and this is a fairly complex offense... I love it for a return man, but yikes on trying to get him to learn the play book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have a defined role, likely won't be doing option routes based on the DBs leverage or zone concepts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgrading the KR position and the #4 receiver spot + a guy who can be a gimmick out of the backfield I'm not sure what you people expected. They came into the offseason with little to no holes and they're plugging them with decent players in free agency, aka what good organizations do Real novel stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I like this a lot if we're planning on using him at RB a la a much bigger Tarik Cohen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better receiver than Bellamy, may not be the coverage STer Bellamy was but is an elite returner (much harder to find and much more valuable), can play RB as well... He backs up two positions and is one of the best at another. We aren't trying to force him into a 1 or 2 role at WR, so this is a great signing IMO.

Madmike90 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 $5 million per year is a little rich but I like his fit in this offence...will be interesting to see how we use him all over the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topwop1 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Love this signing. Basically a 1 year $5 million contract with option for a 2nd year. If he busts then you easily cut him next year with no cap ramifications. Helps shore up the return game and gives Nagy multiple looks on offense. A true swiss army knife of a player.

Reduces Cohen's time on kick returns, which is okay, but also reduces Cohen's usefulness to the team. Makes you wonder if they're going to be stupid and cut Wims, though. Puzzling stuff.

What you get with Patterson is an elite KR (where we were the worst in the league last year) as well as more potential pre-snap confusion from a personnel standpoint for the defense. The kickoff thing is huge IMO, but I’m more excited about the latter. For example, hypothetically with a personnel group in the huddle with Miller, ARob, Burton, Shaheen and Patterson on the field we could like up 5 wide or in a tight power run formation with 2 TE and A WR on one side of the line with Patterson in the backfield. The ideal defensive grouping for those formations is completely different, and until we break the huddle our opponent will be guessing. That’s an incredible advantage to have.

Patterson isn't going to hinder Gabriel's usage If he’s going to play any kind of semi prominent role on offense he’s going to have to take reps from somebody. If not Gabriel then who do you think?
