Options at RB?

[El Chapo Jr]

I know names have been thrown around, but what running backs (realistically) should we sign for our injured position group. My vote is for Dovontae Booker although I wish we could pry Hunt away from the Browns. Anyone else?

I think Adrian Peterson is ready to come back to football….

I think Adrian Peterson is ready to come back to football….

He's gonna have to recover from the concussion Leveon Bell knocked into him this weekend first.

Somewhere Adrian Peterson's kids are cheering at this...

I think Leveon Bell has knocked him outta contention.

It's an O.l issue unless we suddenly have the ability to acquire a top 5 back we aren't fixing the problem with a retread RB.

 

[Force16X]

how about some good O-line personnel ?

D’Ernest Johnson. James Robinson If Etienne takes over starter.

Do they have an open roster spot? Is Williams going on IR? If so, I'd call up Ragas from the practice squad. Doesnt make sense to do anything else unless Kyren will be out longer, and even if he is, why waste any capital on a 3rd back?

Bring up Ragas

Cam, Hendo and Funk are healthy so maybe this conversation is premature. At least I hope it is.

IF we are signing a RB, which I think I'd rather invest the money in a human being that can run block even in the slightest, I wouldn't mind: Lindsay, Booker, Mack, D.Johnson, Malcolm Brown, D.Gore. All would have some use for us. Really just wish we had held onto Michel who was a perfect back to have back there. A reliable back that goes North South and gains yards every play.

Kareem Hunt

OK ... No to Adrian Peterson ... Sign Le'Veon Bell!

I think it is.
First off, Henderson looked good. Give him more opportunities and some blocking and he's fine.
The Akers thing is a mystery and sounds like there's something more going on. Hopefully, whatever it is, it lights a fire under him. A rotation of Akers and Henderson should be enough.

I've always liked Lindsay although he is smallish he plays with a chip on his shoulder and gives 100%

I think we have seen when coach calls out a player that player is on his way out. I'm sure coach pissed off Gurley during his last year or so as we know coach can be a dick.

Well maybe we will see Henderson string together a bunch of great games and get this offense back on the map and somehow manage to not get hurt. This is a contract year for him so it would make sense from that perspective.

I don't think they need much more from Henderson than what they got last week, to be honest. What I mean by that is that his performance, independent of the Oline and scheme, looked very solid to me. Good decision making.. finished runs strong and held onto the ball.
They need Akers to do SOMETHING... and Henderson to keep playing like that and they could be fine in the run game. But.. I wasn't excited about the run game before the season, based on the line, and I'm not excited about it now, based on the oline and the decisions McVay is making to start the year.

If you're happy with Henderson I will tell you congrats.
