The only thing stopping him will be his health. If he has a healthy season we could see 1500 total yards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Quit crying"- lol. You are very comfortable with hypocrisy... So, you'd also be 100% behind counter political agendas, too. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let alone the armed forces. So, your response is a spin job non answer pushing an agenda... It's what I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the words 'political agenda' and I did not say the things mentioned are the same thing. It IS true that neither have anything to do with football.........and it IS true that one protest is individual (or some individuals) whereas the other is corporate charity.Please read my words again. Now, enough of this, back to training camp. I agree, you chose your words carefully. I asked you a simple yes or no question, and you fluffed up a spin job to fit your perspective... It's what I expected. You are right about getting back to football. This nonsense is boring, and it's the last day camp is open to the public.

This nonsense is boring, and it's the last day camp is open to the public. A man throws a woman to the floor and beats her with his hands. Is that bad ? Simple yes or no answer. Now let us provide context. The woman had accidentally set herself alight and the man was trying to beat out the flames to save her. Sometimes yes/no answers don't tell the story. I aimed for clarity. Edited August 19, 2019 by OneTwoSixFive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the sales generated from breast cancer awareness month only 8% actually goes to charity, the NFL keeps more than it gives. 3. Also I am pretty sure that everyone is 'aware' of cancer, calling it that is idiotic. Lastly social injustice is not a political issue. It is something that everyone should realize exists and we should all work to remedy it. Even if it were political, what is the counter political agenda you propose? Having an unnecessary patriotic demonstration before a game? That already happens... Edited August 19, 2019 by TheBitzMan 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going to rely on the oft-injured Jones to carry us we are in huge trouble. I'm advocating trading either WR Davis or OG Taylor for a second RB who has a little quickness/toughness. If Carson makes this team then we are looking to next year already. Would like to see Ken Dixon in our camp. (I know, he's always hurt too.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social injustice as a broad heading might not be a political issue, but the extent to which it is an issue and the proposed means of combating that issue are political in every sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree about adding another RB for an expendable position, I feel better about RB this year than I did last year regardless of the injuries. That being said, it doesn't seem like MLF is stoked with Dexter Williams at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you go and get one at Home Depot like every other NFL team does when looking for a 2nd/3rd RB and you don't trade away NFL starters.

But the key word is expected. He has been limited to 12 games in each of his first two seasons, and has already missed time this offseason. I don't think the stuff this offseason is a major issue, they are trying to keep him from aggravating the injury. In past seasons he also played less because Jamaal Williams is a superior pass blocker. We haven't seen Jamaal this offseason yet either, but he is likely to get carries as well. For FF purposes, relying on a Packers RB is probably not the best idea if Aaron Rodgers is healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Jones-Jamaal combination is fine, if they are both healthy (they aren't right now). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
