I love his burst and for a smaller back he finishes runs pretty good. I think he's good but we don't know. I certainly don't feel confident to say he's a legit #2. And Clement certainly isn't.

MR-CYN Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I like Clement. I thought he'd do a little more than he has by now but he's been, gasp, often injured. I hope he shows up and makes me not miss Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Clement certainly isn't. He can't pass block very good so hard to make him a 2. Clement can block pretty good and was good for us in short yardage. If Sanders touches and amount of plays go up a bit from last year like I expect them too, I'd call them co-number 2s. One of the rookies or a late free agent vet will be added I am sure, assuming Clement is healthy and makes the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they view their guys as Sanders #1....and then the rest are situational backs. Down/distance/formation are what matters there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Warren and Holyfield will get looks there and they may pick up a cheap vet thumper if they both look like dogcrap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastFreddie Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Yeah, it’s unfortunate a young man’s sport and especially position. Speaking of which... Frank Gore? I should start a thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwieagle Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Happy about this move - no risk signing but we know he can play if healthy. If he hasn't healed up, he will just get cut but I am rooting for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPIDER-MAN Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I think Howie will sign someone before training camp begins to add competition. Sanders is the only running back I have confidence in right now. Scott was a nice story last year and the team supposedly loves Holyfield. But both are huge question marks. And Clement might be a nice signing, but who knows if he'll even be able to stay healthy.

Diehardfan Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 For some reason I thought he signed another place, but I love the guy and am happy he is home. When he is healthy he is a good contributor to the team and gives them some veteran depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hopefully with some of these receivers they have drafted they can go back to using Clement less than they had to before. For some players less is more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-1000 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I didnt realize that Shady was actually very effective last season. 4.6 ypc on 101 carries. I'd prefer Freeman or Hyde, but I think Shady can actually bring something to the team besides nostalgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipples Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 No downside to bringing Clement back. If he can stay healthy, he has shown to be a really solid RB. His issue has always been injury. I will say that if they keep him on the active roster, they need to have a PS running back that they like a lot as well, because it’s hard to rely on Clement to stay healthy. Chances are good he gets hurt again and they need to pull someone from the PS. I don’t know the PS rules so not sure if Scott is eligible anymore. Even if he is though, chances are good that if they cut him he will get picked up by someone based on what he did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
