Just giving you all some feedback on Sproles.

skymike · 08-01-2011, 06:55 PM

Thanks for the info, Bolts.

Last time someone came here from another team and gave us the skinny on a player we aquired, it was Bills fans telling us about Jabari Greer. (they loved him)

I think its a good sign.

Oh I like that one better. I was thinking of Colts fans and another CB.

Yes, last year was rough for Sproles. I had him on my fantasy team as a backup and his numbers were dismal. I'm hoping Sproles has a Jets/Tomlinson-like bounceback in him!

Sounds like it was time for a change for both us and the Bolts.

He doesn't mean any harm. Let's face it, Sproles really wasn't worth 6 million a season. I'm very curious how many touches we're even going to give him here. If Ingram takes off and PT is fully healthy... mix in some Ivory, where does that leave Sproles?

That said, I'm confident that in the touches he will receive, he's going to make of it than Bush did with his.

Im excited about Sproles. Screen pass here we come!!

poydras · 08-01-2011, 02:52 PM

No matter. They didn't bring him here to carry the team. He might not even make it. We just needed someone to do some of the same things that Reggie did so we don't have to reprint the playbook.

BOLTS4LIFE · 08-01-2011, 03:50 PM

Good things I see about this signing...
a.) Ever since that season ending injury in 2006, he's been healthy.
b.) He's worked with Brees.
c.) He'll be running routes similar to the ones he did here.

Anybody know how much of that money is guaranteed?

LOL yes we'd finally hopefully be able to work in a screen pass for a change geez!!!

I don't think we had a good one in like ever.

apparently you've never heard of pierre thomas before. he's not only had great success on screen passes, he's scored on NUMEROUS screen passes.
