Yes, he doesn't have breakaway speed, but he was a durable multi-faceted back for 5 years.


Consistent and reliable but not explosive and when we needed a few yards for a touchdown (Example: Pats regular season game - he got stuffed over and over and it would have won the game for us) or a first down he just could not deliver. I did not feel confident in short yardage situations with him at RB, with Addai in there I feel like it's going to be a success a great majority of the time.




Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
