Prior, he had 2 fumbles across 400 career carries. Saying he's a "major" fumbler is a bit harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t stop the team from bringing in other RBs Could be a solid rebound candidate. Who knows could of been playing with injuries last year yes. Bolden is not an NFL player, and Abdullah a 3rd down back/special teamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Got to keep in mind that Mattison was dealing with stacked boxes since he was playing with scrub QBs last year. Two of his best games were when Cousins was healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, to be honest, he had 1 more fumble on far fewer carries last year. There's no justifying the 2023 issues other than hoping a change of scenery cleans it up. But he's been pretty reliable outside of last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's the guy from Washington who some people here wanted even though he was benched by two coaching staffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of his best games were when Cousins was healthy. And the other 6 games with Cousins he never eclipsed 45yds. I mean as a backup it’s whatever, maybe it was just a bad year… I’m not super excited about the signing, but I can certainly hope he manages to impress and balls out now that he’s officially in silver and black.

jpaulthe1st Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Great signing for a low cost, proven commodity in the backfield. It wasn’t long ago that he was pushing a prime Dalvin Cook for carries and he’s still only 25 years old with very low mileage. He is the exact type of player that could be in for a rebound given a fresh start. Edited March 19 by jpaulthe1st 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaisinBran Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Mattison is a solid RB2 and he was really good for the Vikings whenever Dalvin Cook was injured. I guess it's Zamir White's time to shine... maybe we'll just have a committee and split the carries pretty evenly between them with Abdullah as the 3rd down back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, White looked eminently capable towards the tail end of last year and with Mattison spelling him and the underrated Abdullah as a 3rd down option I can see a very decent RB room for a very reasonable cost. Maybe we’ll draft a young kid in the mid to late rounds as depth too but I’m pretty satisfied that we’ll be just fine at the RB position.

RaidersForever Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Would rather have taken someone like Audric Estime in the Draft to pair with Zeus, but I'm not mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
