Of who’s still left...
Alfred Morris or Jeremy Hill are guys I’d like a lot better than Ivory

And what was the rush for us to get him?
Were teams lining up for him?
Doubt it

- jdfitz77



At 34 Gore had 1206 yrds from scrimmage.

Only once in his career has he not had at least 1200 yrds from scrimmage......

2005 his rookie year, he had 739 splitting time with Kevan Barlow.

Ivory is better than Martin though.

Martin has avg 2.9 yds per att the last 2 yrs.

Yikes!

Gotta figure he’s gonna drop off at any minute though
Morris & Hill are much younger

Hopefully we just draft someone
It’s not even that i think Ivory is terrible...
just didn’t see why we had to rush to get him
And with our Cap situation...
spending that much on a backup RB?

Idk...
just seemed dumb all around to me

Hill started 7 games last year and didn't break 120 on the ground. That's a concern.

There wasn’t a guy in particular i wanted
But i definitely didn’t see what they rushed to overpay Ivory, when he’s been one of the worst RBs over the past 2 yrs

Made no sense to me

- jdfitz77

doesn't affect comp picks

I wouldn’t say that
Hill was in a 3-way split for carries most of the season
Also...
we’re just talking about who would be McCoy’s backup

Whatever though
Just picked a couple guys i liked better than Ivory

Yeah,
But it didn’t make sense to me to spend as much as we did on Ivory with how our Cap is

Meh

Florida charging towards the playoffs

Aside from the Sabres loss tonight (which helps) ...... we got no other love this evening.

I'll raise a toast to those Sens felchers up North to put a beat down on the closet gobblers from Dallas tomorrow night.

I'm still stunned how the Sens were actually able to beat the F**k out of both Florida teams this past week. I've always believed most hockey success is puck luck. Is this a good example of that ?

So seriously .............. The Flyers have a record of what exactly and yet they are considered a "good/playoff" team ?

They are 35-36.

Florida is 35-33

I think putting this in perspective is it really doesn't take much to rise to this level (basically .500) in any given year even if you are a bottom dweller.

In addition, it really doesn't take much to go from conference finals to lottery pick (Sens and Oil)

He was listed as the starter.

Played 7 games starter 7 had 116 yrds

It also wasnt a 3 way split

Mixon had 178 for 625 (16 gp 7 gs)
Bernard had 105 for 458 (16 gp 2 gs)
Hill had 37 for 116 (7 gp 7gs)

I'd say it was a 2 back split and Hill fell out of favor. Hell he only had 17 more yards on the ground than Daulton.

I'm not saying he isn't good but for a guy that had 3241 yds from scrimmage and 30tds the previous 3 seasons to drop to 132 yds from scrimmage and 0 tds says somethings possibly up.

Also you'd expect McCoy's backup to pick up the slack with Tyrod gone.


They did rush to sign Ivory though.
