Redskins sign AP

[Rock Strongo]

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

maybe a good goal line guy too?

 

[Rock Strongo]

interesting take?

hes always been a volume guy anyway.

Exactly so its tough to definitively say a volume guy is washed up when you're giving him 11 touches. AP has always been the 3,3,3,4,4,5,21 type guy . If you only have him 11 touches you're not likely to get those 1-3 big hits a game

Seems the internet jokes have already started so it must be a done deal

What do AP's son and his new team have in common?

both are Red skins

 

[Rock Strongo]

i dont see this reported anywhere

its like telling allen iverson to take 16 shots a game.

this is all i can find

Yep. Even at his height AP got stuffed on 50% plus of his plays. You just needed him to touch it enough to get the 3 15-25 yard plus runs a hand he was always good for. It's a good comparison to a volume shooter . When a guy gets hot he can make 10 in a row and drop 30 in a quarter but if you limit him you'll never see it . Iverson is a great cross sport comp

It's AD as in All Day...why do people fuck that up all the time?

Because that nickname is dumb. He was here for 10 seasons and it never caught on.

In more ways than one. They both have serious money problems.

He's just barely outside top 10 career rushing yards, and I'm guessing that is why he wants to continue

I still wish he would've got single season record, just barely missed it

hes like herschel walker, who claims he could still run for 1,000 yards in the NFL.

Yeah, that was a fun year.

Adrian is both about his numbers and he needs a paycheck as badly as anyone.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

no idea

he blocks like i pick women.

extremely poorly.

Can't catch either.

Two cardinal sins for a RB these days.

 

[tducey]

Interesting signing. He's 33 now so hard to say if he has anything left into the tank or not.

 

[bt08]

I guess his contract with Sunnydale was voided?

[fordman84]

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

Behind that line, he is done.

Why is AD a "future HOF"? He's like 15th on the all time rushing list and has the child abuser mark on his record.


edit: ok he needs 30 yards to get to top 10. Maybe he will eventually get in.
