NJ Raider Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 One of my favorite players of the last ten years. Sucks that we were so bad during his homecoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracta Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 What sucks more is that we passed on Kamara in the same year for a feel good story. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie2Gunz Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I'm glad he has retired, it's time to move on from him for good. He ran hard but was washed up. Too many hard miles on those legs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBXISBXVSBXVIII Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hopefully this means they'll look for a 3 down back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackinBlack Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 any way, the team would have told him we were targeting Jacobs? sucks he would retire right before the draft now teams know we really need a RB.. why couldnt he have waited 3 days lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Exactly now teams know Edge and RB a huge need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Always assumed he would retire and he was out here trying to get high during the last game in Oakland last year lol. I think it’s for the best for the team that he did. He was always fun to watch the run against the Saints will forever be remembered took the soul of the Saints that game.

Crowell, Ricard, Warren, and drafting a mid to late pick like Alex Barnes and we are set. We should be able to get what we need in the 5th or later.

Crowell is below average. Warren is the latest pre-season hype machine who probably won't amount to much. Richard is a COP back with some receiving skills. RB has been a need position for years if we're being honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I have been around here long enough to see this constantly. Warren? How many times do we need to see that a preseason warrior doesn't mean anything? He is an ordinary back at very best. When will people learn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times do we need to see that a preseason warrior doesn't mean anything? He is an ordinary back at very best. When will people learn? I was not saying Warren is our starting 3 down back and yes I have been around long enough to watch people hype up pre-season stud RBs. If you notice I put him 3rd and also believe a 5th round pick would beat him out for the 3rd spot especially if we draft Barnes who I believe could be the short yardage back for a year and then become our starting RB after that. Although our rush game was not great last year it was not our issue. Also TE is a much bigger issue. It would be similar to our RB group if we had not signed Crowell and Ricard was not as good. Last year everything feel apart and the run game got stalled all the time because of that. If he stays healthy and we can improve on offense Crowell can be a 1000 yard rusher. There are not any top RBs this year but that does not mean a pro bowler will not arise from this group. Just saying there are not any that you can point out with any certainty. There are a lot of middle round guys that could be good and great if they are lucky. That means almost all of these backs are going to look like garbage on this team if we do not fix the team around them first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
