And of all our backs...hes the one most likely to go Beast mode. I like Lamar dont get me wrong..but we also need a back who can just run people over when our line isnt blocking that great. Would love to see Earl Mitchell leading the way for Ajayi at the goal line.

 

Jay Ajayi has a strange mix of power and finesse. He's like a blend between LeSean McCoy and Marshawn Lynch. He's shifty and agile, but not as much as McCoy... he runs with power and aggressiveness, but not as much as Lynch.

Basically, if LeSean McCoy and Marshawn Lynch had a baby, it would be Jay Ajayi.

 

That would be one fugly mother grabber.

 

He should take his old # now...(#27 ~ "LaMike" James[cut])

But 33 is cool. I actually own a 33 phins jersey. :hammer:

 

nice i really want to see what he and miller can do together.

 

I love that we have potential upgrades as backups...

 

Did I mention he's such a natural pass catcher that Boise used to line him up at wr in 2013...

 

He runs downright recklessly! Lunging his body head first and backwards into a seam at full speed, for instance. On any run, one arm, the ball, and his torso might gain an extra couple yards, but at the expense of leaving a limb behind.

 

Sammie Smith

 

come on man... :lol: No, Abdul-Jabbar

 

I can't wait for Ajayi to get some game time. Very excited about him.

 

Last season Ajayi was

Ajayi was #1 in the running back class with 50 receptions

Ajayi was #1 in the running back class with 535 yards receiving

Ajayi was #1 in yards after the catch with 488 yac.

 

I'm in wait and see mode on Ajayi.

 

I agree, no telling if he's any better than Gray at this point.

 

Put his *** on the field and see what happens.

 

Take the good, his skill running the football, with the bad, in the gm could mean automatic Cb blitz until he shows he can stop them

 

Or use our FB, Mitchell in pass pro... :shifty:

 

J-train has a nose for the endzone, knows how to sliter and contort..great balance and has a wicked jumpcut for a large man.

 

lol...keen observation.

 

I like what he could be but he seems to have health and injury issues. Or maybe we were just being cautious with him. Either way I can't wait to see what our fifth rounder can do.

I've followed this guy all of his college career, if he can stay healthy he's a beast. Eventually I think he could challenge Lamar for the starting role, that's how high I am on him

 

Thats why I say just put him in there in short yardage or other situations where the other team figures that we're going to run the ball anyways. If he can be productive there, no reason to keep him off the field.

 

Speaking of tailbacks... anyone other than me rather see Jonas Gray take snaps when Miller comes out? Damien Williams flat out sucks. He shouldn't even see the field. He also seems to fall down if you exhale on him.

Gray on the other hand has had 17 carries for 73 yards on the year. 4.3 year avg. per game.

 

Damien Williams practices the right way, screw results.

 

Williams is an excellent receiver and blocker, and should be used as a 3rd down/passing down RB.

 

I can't recall ever seeing Williams run the ball well on a single play. He's made a few good catches, including that big one vs Buffalo last season on TNF, but running the ball? Am I forgetting something?

Gray, and Ajayi when he's back, need the carries when Miller comes out for a breather. Or when we're winning by three TDs in the fourth :up:

 

Let's go j train!!! He's gonna hit em like a wrecking ball.

you're welcome

 

I think that you're right. Williams is less than "just a guy", IMO. He's proven that he's not good enough.

 

I'm anxious to see if Ajayi is ready and active at this point. We have the Thursday game coming up so we'll need a little extra help from RB depth in this scenario. You also have to wonder what kind of motivation Jonas Gray may have; returning to Foxboro with his old/new team. Should be interesting.

 

It's been so long I forget, what was his injury?

 

rib...he said he could of been ready to go by week 2.

 

Right now he's allowed to practice but he can only play in a game week 9, at Buffalo.

 

Didn't realize he was on IR (D2R)
