klepto Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 What do you guys think about Dominic Rhodes?With oakland signing Fargas long term, it seems like he might be available.What do you think? Wouldn't pass the filter?I wouldn't mind bringing him in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFan13 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I would draft a 5th rnd RB before signing Rhodes Hes never really impressed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendyne Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Dominic Rhodes is almost as lightweight as Dunn. Isnt the sole reason Dunn would be gone is because he isnt a power back? Dominic Rhodes is nowhere near a powerback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his contract is pretty hefty right now, and they may be looking pretty hard at the lack of production last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we werent converting to a power running game there would be no talk of Dunns contract, hes arguably still getting most of what he needs to get done, but i do think he needs to restructure it. I dont know of many power backs available in FA, and since i dont live in the US its too hard to get the low down on college players.

formul8or Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I think RB's flousish in Indy's system even if they're not great. Edgeran James hasn't done much in Arizona, Rhodes didn't do much in Oakland, Thomas didn't do much for the Jets.Meanwhile Addai and his backup Keith are lookin pretty good.

But its better then our, what were his stats this year? Im pretty sure he got over 1000 in his first season with them. Didn't Thomas come from the Bears?

Runningbacks flourish in that system though because of all the threat of passing, plus with Peyton Manning calling 500 audibles before the snap, the defense never knows whats going to happen.

klepto Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I think rhodes could be worth a shot for the right price. He looked pretty good in the superbowl against a pretty stout chicago d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
