EagleVA Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I read that the Eagles are looking for a RB, just in case they don't have a clue, Johnathan Williams is their man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other options are the available FA's and I've review all of them, Wiliams looked to be the best option. There will be cuts if we have a season, but currently, Williams is your man at this point in time from what I've seen, he's a good back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are a few better options than Williams. He's an interesting option given his talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeman has injury concerns and Hyde has had several starting roles and never amounted to much, besides, I liked what I saw from Williams more so than those two, he's a good open field runner with decent power for a 217lb back. basically he's an injury free Freeman.

eaglesfan0075 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Even if you don't like Freeman with his injury history, I would much rather have Carlos Hyde as the complementary back to Sanders and Scott. He has a power back skillset with good receiving ability out of the backfield. That will keep defenses honest instead of thinking the Eagles are going to have a power running play because Hyde is on the field. LeSean McCoy could technically be useful but his skillset more or less duplicates what the Eagles have rather than complement it. Bringing him back would be more of a sentimental move more than anything else but I'd still take him over Williams. Hyde > McCoy > Freeman > Williams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Unfortunately we are starting to run out of options so Williams starts to look more appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesfan0075 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 https://www.nfl.com/news/devonta-freeman-willing-to-sit-out-2020-season-over-contract-desires Apparently the Seahawks offered Freeman the same offer they gave Carlos Hyde and he said it wasn't enough. It's probably safe to say that we can cross him off the Eagles list after it was reported the Eagles wanted Hyde for less than $4 million/year. Williams is among the best options left, and is younger than LeSean McCoy, so I can see the argument for him at this juncture, with Hyde and Freeman off the table. There aren't many great veteran options remaining. Lamar Miller is just a name at this point and has injury issues of his own. Maybe the Eagles give Jay Ajayi the "Jordan Matthews treatment" and bring him in for his third stint with the team, trying to recapture the old magic? Injuries aside, he's actually only 26! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly Williams looks an more enticing option I guess. I'd much prefer him over Corey let's say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochis_Calhoun Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 We have Sanders, Scott and Clement, see if Warren or Killins pan out and close the book, they've got as much shot at making a difference on the field as Jonathan Williams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t really want Shady back at this point but would take him over Williams too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why can't either of the 2 we have now not do that? Duce has proven to get the most out of his guys. So why deny a chance to a young guy that duce can get the most out of that cost basically nothing, to sign a guy 4 years in the league and has done really nothing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipples Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 We are all talking about the same Jonathan Williams right? The guy drafted in 2016, who has only played 23 games in 4 years? Who has been on three different teams in 4 years, and if anyone actually signs him will be on team #4 in 5 years? Yeah, hard pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
