Lamical Perine


Recommended Posts

I've seen Perine in person at the Swamp a couple of times.

Not a great athlete, just OK.

The positive is he is versatile and makes good choices.  He gets what is blocked.   Good in pass pro.  Will churn out an extra yard or two.  A fighter. 

Perine just isnt going to make something out of nothing.  Jetlife33 is about right.  Likely a backup and rotational player.

As far as scheme fit goes I think Perine fits the one cut and go style that Gase’s zone blocking scheme requires.  McFarland while faster tends to dance around a little much.   I can see the logic behind the Perine selection. 

I wasn't a big McFarland fan either. At least Perine can catch the ball.

He makes sense, I just wanted a RB that was more explosive. Don't hate the pick, but don't love it either.

Perine and Morgan are depth signings. And we need them. Remember Falk and Cannon? Ugh.

Because of his speed think Cannon sticks around at least one more year.

Think it's our ole friend Powell that's gone,  Perine is actually a similar RB

This.  For some reason people thought we were gonna get a top flight RB in around 4 ?. Perine is a good smart RB.  Not flashy but provides good depth which we need

Said it in the draft thread: Dude seems like a straight up jack-of-all-trades replacement for Bilal Powell. If he is, that's not a bad use of a fourth round pick.

You guys are making it seems like he’s some plodding, unathletic slug.

He’s quick, and will fit nicely into Gase’s system.  He’ll end up with more yards than Bell.

You actually had a good start until the Bell comment ?

Don't see where I've said anything negative about him at all.

Think he's a decent replacement for Powell.  Same type skill set.  I'm good with him in the 4th round

Sorry, I wasn’t quoting you..my fault..

I just meant use the video you posted to reinforce that’s he’s a good player.

Does he remind anyone else of Shonn Greene? Lazy comp maybe, but size speed to the naked eye seems similar 

Nah.  Greene was a bull.

The best comparison I can come up with is a more durable, less athletic version of Ryan Mathews.

Does everything fairly well, but does nothing great.  The ol' cliche fits for Perine... "jack of all trades, master of none."
