(VIDEO) All of Isaiah Pead's Touches in 2013

I saw more than two. But it wasn't a lot. The thing that bothered me was how often he tripped.

He looks much more comfortable catching the ball rather than rushing.

I think the fumbles got to his head, and he's spending too much thought on protecting the ball, rather than just doing what's natural.

Pead has a turn of talent and I expect him to be on the roster next year.

he was thinking too much. he looked better towards the end of the season.

Why don't we just change his position? Look, Pead obviously doesn't have the balance, escapability, or vision to be effective at RB. He has hands like a wide out and plays decent at WR in short yardage situations. On special teams, I must be missing something because I saw utterly average play there. Does he compare to Marshall Faulk? I think it's ridiculous to use them in the same sentence...

How about a video of a game of chess between Pead and Marty Gilyard?

Isaiah is still the best pass blocker and receiver on our RB unit. He is still the best choice for 3rd down duties.

Ability/willingness alone makes it an absolute no-brainer between Isaiah and D. Richardson. Love a back who can block. Marshall Faulk went to an even higher level in my book because he could block. Pead is definitely not even close to that level, but teams need a blocking back.
