Brentastic Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I think Dwill is a top 5 talent and for his sake, I'm hoping he plays for a team that can make him fantasy relevant again. Anyways, I was just looking at the team that could use a RB, some moreso than others but my list is small, narrowed down to teams who could really use a stud RB. My discussion question to you huddlers, is which team is the best fit? I'd really like to see him go to IND, I think he would be dominant there. So here's the short list of teams that could really use a stud RB: ARI DET (is Best an every down RB?) GB (they would kill with Dwill) IND (also would kill with Dwill) MIA (Brown has too many surgeries and Ricky is old) SEA (they definitely need a RB) SF (if Gore doesn't rebound from hip surgery, this would be a potentially good fit). I'm sure there are other teams that could stand to upgrade, but these teams could use instant help. Discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hoyle Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Chalk off GB. TT doesn't go after free agents. It would be a good fit, but I think they'd had made a move at Lynch. He's not burning up in Seatte, but they didn't make a move for him anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) I was thinking about this the other day. I doubt the Colts do it, but I think they should let Addai walk. It would be awesome to sign DeAngelo Williams. The problem is that Peyton Manning is also a free agent, and is the Colts first priority. They really can't go sign anyone else until Manning's deal gets done. Add in the uncertainty with the CBA, and I really doubt it happens. Adam Vinatieri, Clint Session, and Charlie Johnson are also free agents. After Manning, I would think the next priority would be a left tackle. Do they draft one? Re-sign Charlie Johnson? Look to free agency? Once that is finalized they can make some other choices regarding their RB situation Edited December 30, 2010 by CaptainHook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v0dka Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 It's a contract year for Benson too. Cincinnati could be another option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 lol - right. Colts need an injury-prone RB, not enough of those on the team. That'd put them over the top. I do agree they need a legit RB badly, but there are bigger needs. As usual Manning makes Colts a lot better than they are (even given his brief INT-happy spell) and the OL is thin/suspect. The Colts D also blows (again, as usual). They need to address OL and DT more than anything else. A stud LB would also be refreshing. Anyway..... Even if it was a great fit, no way do the Colts sign him. Not their style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttwarrior4 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 free agents won't go to the colts because there is not enough strip clubs or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 free agents won't go to the colts because there is not enough strip clubs or something or because the Colts build through the draft and not free agency . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Or because Polian isn't too swift at FA pickups. Or Indy is just too fn white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I just hope he leaves, finally opening the door for you know who to become a top 10 RB. Oh wait...they have a horrible OL and a new offensive scheme coming to town. :sigh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUMbotron Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I'm guessing New England but who knows. I can't wait to find out, he's one of my favorite players. Saw him play live at Memphis once, he rolled some 300 total yards & 4 scores on Houston Cougars. My jaw is still sitting in the bleachers of that stadium.

Oh wait...they have a horrible OL and a new offensive scheme coming to town. :sigh: Won't a healthy Jeff Otah change that in a hurry? If the new HC is a 'cheap, young option' ya who knows what direction he'll take things. Still, I'd love to see these 2 split because Stewart deserves a chance to take the reigns.

DWill a situational backup? :confused: This smells exactly like the type of situation Belicheck uses to his advantage. Underappreciated stud vet that he signs for less than his market value by selling the Super Bowl ring potential. Corey Dillon all over again. And with his skill set would he ever thrive in that O.

As much as I hated D-Wills presence, I picked him up in a keeper league after he went on the IR andd was dropped for that very reason. Situational back-up?? Hardly..as long as he leaves Carolina, all is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Situational back-up?? Hardly..as long as he leaves Carolina, all is good. He had one great year amd has split time and/or sat backup to some unimpressive talent. You may be right, I may be right, but he doesnt do anything for me. Keeper league? Thats a mistake unless you have MULTIPLE spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right, I may be right, but he doesnt do anything for me. You're going to lay Fox's idiocy on DWill's doorstep? He was easily the most underutilized RB in the league for years. He put up great numbers with the workload he got and for some reason Fox could not find a way to get him enough touches unless forced to do so.

Bronco Billy Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 why would you think NE would need a rb. BJGE looks pretty good and woodhead to complement? Because neither of those two can carry DWill's jock? Let's be serious. We're talking about the acquisition of a 3 down stud RB vs two guys who are no better than solid pros. Let those two provide depth behind Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 what the caveman said. BGJE is averaging 4.4 yd/ carry and hasn't fumbled since high school. I see almost no chance of NE going out and spending big money on williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUMbotron Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 why would you think NE would need a rb. BJGE looks pretty good and woodhead to complement? Besides the fact that he's an elite back and all teams need elite backs, I think NE would sign him just to keep him off the Jets or Dolphins, who will be sniffing around him too.

Caveman_Nick Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 ...in 2007 the Pats were 13th in rushing and 5th in rushing TDs... ...in 2006 the Pats were 12th in rushing and 4th in rushing TDs... ...In 2005 they were not good... ...in 2004 the Pats were 7th in rushing and 8th in rushing TDs... Etc. It's the system. 2005 was the year they tried to transition to the "stud back". of course it was Maroney they were transitioning to. Whoops. Again, I would not be surprised to see them pick up Williams, and for many of the reasons JUM says, but I would not bet on it. Unless he wants to come play for a discount. I don't see the Pats paying superstar RB money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't buck you in this if you were talking any other team, but that's just not Bill Belichick's style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
