With all the RB injuries for the Redskins I think it’s a good signing plus he brings leadership to the team.

It's easy to dismiss this but AP only had 4 games all last year with more than 14 Carrie's and in 3 of those games he got 80, 125 and 160 yards respectively. I lean towards him being done but it wouldn't shock me if hes not

I think he will start out great but maybe fade a bit as the season progresses. The Skins should try to keep him to 12 or so touches a game

It might stand for All Done now. At 33.5 he's a senior citizen in NFL years for a RB.

First off that's serious cherry picking. Let's ignore NO because that was just a bad time for him.
In his 3 best games that you mentioned his YPC was 4.48. That's good and all, but not for your 3 best games of the year. In the other 3 games with AZ the reason he didn't get more than 14 caries was because he went:
11 carries for 21 yards - 1.90 YPC
21 carries for 29 yards - 1.38 YPC
14 carries for 26 yards - 1.86 YPC

I understand it was a poor OL, but that's really bad...

Then after he was hurt the great Kerwyn Williams the Running game averaged 3.9 YPC.

Joking aside I think he is a good guy to bring in and take a look if you aren't expecting much or paying him much, but he is going to sulk like a School girl if he doesn't have a big role. If he earns it, it's a great cheap signing. If not, you need to cut him quick because a lot of these players still look at him as AD and he's just not and his bad attitude can spread.

Well at his age he is more likely to walk softly vs run hard, Hmm I wonder if he still carries a big stick.

It's both. A lot of Texas people use AD more since I believe it started in HS or even younger and nationally it's a lot of AP.

That's tough. Hes always been a guy that needs lots of touches. Saints tries limiting early and it just didnt work. Personally o give it to him 25 times a game until you either figure out hes done for sure or he gets hurt . Limiting his touches makes him pretty useless imo

My point was hes always been a guy who needed the ball a lot to get going. Hes mot Sanders getting 14 carrie's for 103 yards . I think it's likely hes done BUT in 3 of the 4 games he got carries he performed fairly well. Its not like itll take long to figure out if hes washed
