Re: Training Camp 2018

Surprised Darkwa was available - thought he showed well in games against us. Of course, everyone did.

I think he's a solid back... Kevin Sheehan liked him a lot... So sad his show with Cooley was shut down, any news on that ?

Re: Training Camp 2018

I'm surprised to see Darkwa available throughout the offseason too. He is not amazing RB he played well enough with Giants and yet no team was interested to sign him. Makes me wonder if there's more to it, perhaps he does not have good work ethics or something like that?

If I remember right he was always banged up,now to his credit our line sucked so it wasn't always his fault.I thought he was a good back.

I forgot about injury history, and like KI Skins said, there were some interests but Darkwa didn't share mutual feelings. I suppose he is waiting for an opportunity where he can compete for #1 spot.

I really hope we don't sign Peterson, he is not same player as he was obviously and we have Perine and Kelley who can pound ball. Jamaal Charles is intriguing although I'm not sure if he is right back we are looking for - Charles can take over Chris T's place if needed but I don't see him being #1 back for 1st and 2nd downs. Out of all those three, I would go with Darkwa.

Re: Training Camp 2018

I think Darkwa could help us. He averaged about 4.5 ypc running behind a terrible OL last season.

p.s. I just checked on why Darkwa hasn't signed. He had a plate removed from his leg in May. It was put there before last season to stabilize a fracture. The procedure was minor and he is fully healthy. Since that time he has had some offers but none of them was good enough for him to sign.

Olreans is just another body but we could use that body

Did I miss something?

Not a need for him TBH. If our DL plays like it has we will be fine. APKE has been great at S, we have a talented young d

I totally agree. He didn't play in the last game, I was just curious why.

Re: Training Camp 2018

Charles is a good fit for this system, he can catch, and he's played with Smith. Not saying I'd sign him but I can see him over AP.

Re: Training Camp 2018

For me, it's either sign Darkwa or wait until teams are finalizing their rosters and make a trade of a late round pick or a player who we are about to cut for a decent back who is also about to be cut. I'm not enough of a gambler to wait until backs hit the street before trying to pick one up as a FA. It's too risky.

AP is done and he's a POS. Charles fits our system but not our specific need which I see as short yardage. Personally, I'd love to have LaGarrett Blount for that purpose if we could make a deal with Detroit.

Re: Training Camp 2018

AD still demands respect from defenses , I know he's old but so is Beastmode and teams still worry about him. This will take pressure of Alex IMO
