Jones is good for 10 carries then abruptly falls off a cliff thereafter...in a rotation sure...but there's also the injury concerns....I wouldn't hate it but wouldn't love it either.
If you really want to consider a guy who has an injury history,,,,,jones is the guy,,,,,I would rather go after Chris ivory
Id rather have Bradshaw over Felix Jones, I think we can get Bradshaw for a 1 year deal at a lower cost as a stop gap
Yep. When the Revis trade rumors first surfaced about a month-or-so ago, one of the possibilities I suggested was offering him to the Saints in exchange for Ivory and Draft Picks. I really like Ivory's running style: he looks like he runs with authority, is shifty, is capable of catching out of the backfield -- essentially, he looks like a good all-around back who doesn't have too much wear & tear. It probably won't happen because I think New Orleans doesn't have the cap room; but, swapping Revis for Ivory (and picks) would solve two big issues as we head into the Draft.
I have seen every single Felix Jones play in the NFL, he had flashes but he is simply too fragile for the NFL. He is always and I mean ALWAYS either playing hurt or out. I wish him the best and hope that changes.
Remember Felix's rookie season? I thought he would be the next Dorsett. Wasn't to be though. I hope Demarco Murray doesn't turn out to the same way. Injuries notwithstanding he didn't show much last year. Let's hope he turns it around this season.
