So, Bill has had some success in the past getting valuable production out of apparently washed up running backs, notably Corey Dillon and LaGarrett Blount, as well as other positions that either were hs beens or never would be's. Vrabel, Moss, Welker...
But washed up, under pruducing RB's, has had me thinking for quite awhile, here outside of Nashville there are quite a few, the overwhelming majority, of the general public and sports media, that want and believe that Chris Johnson should not and will not be back next year.
Chris is a pure speed back, not a power back or a bruiser, but would be an incredible change of pace back.
Not saying it will or even should happen, but...
The Pats had 4 backs last year and this year. Last years neverplay back was speedy Demps, traded for Blount. They also had PED suspended Boldin. Vareen and Ridley carried the majority of the load last year. This year has been fairly run heavy with the partial year IR Vareen seeing more plays than Boldin.
Now, Boldin is more of a backup bruiser, but I could easily see his reps going to CJmaybeonek.
Or even the fumbler. would offer a serious change of pace spelling Blount/Ridley/Vareen or Blount/Vareen/Boldin
Thoughts? Think he would fit? Who would you replace?
Obviously his $8 mil contract would need to go in the shredder. Then the fireplace.
