P Thomas gets 2 year extension

s2kguy · 03-12-2014, 10:40 AM

I like this but I am starting to lean more towards the Ingram/Robinson combo. Wish we would decide on what we want to do with the RB position. 2 is plenty, 3 is a crowd(but understandable for injury possibilities), 4 I just don't understand.

We will prolly see mostly ingram/robinson but PT is our screen game

He was set to make 2.5 million plus a 300K roster bonus this year, wonder how much the extension dropped his cap?

Wouldn't we want to test Robinson though with the screen due to his speed?

Im not sure, i mean PT is among the best so why not use him if you have him, and keep robinson fresh to run up the gut

Ingram? What has he done to give anyone confidence that he could be the go to guy? PT is a proven commodity and more versatile than Ingram.

Nothing more than lead all our backs with 4.9 yards per carry last year... Thomas was 3.7 for comparison

And as great as Ingram was late in the season, he was garbage and/or injured until about week 10 or 11.

No offense to Ingram fans, I still don't fully trust the guy. I'd like to see him carry the load for more than a 5 game stretch before annointing him as the lead back. Don't get me wrong, I think the "starting" job is his to lose going into next season, but keeping PT around as an insurance policy is a smart, smart move.

I still have visions of Ingram fumble during the Seahawks playoff game. Trust?

I also remember him owning the Eagles in the playoff game prior...
