KRL Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 51 minutes ago, CanadaSteve said: However KRL, could the Jets now then: A) Sit Perine for awhile and let him watch and learn, playing ST to start b) Give Bell the bulk of the running duties to start c) Use Gore to spell off Bell and let Perine watch how it is done. d) Potentially strike a deal for Bell before the trade deadline, get something for him (even if it means retaining salary EDIT: Anyone who knows the ramifications here, please offer!), and then have Gore and Perine take the bulk of the carries the remainder of the year, signing another 3rd back to fill in. THen, the following year, if Perine is ready, give him the bulk of the carries. IF not, you draft/sign another feature back, and let Perine be the #2 guy. All possible but usually the backup RB's are going to be on the special team units. I know Gore won't be on them at his age. I wonder what the roster construction will be?

He will be gone after the 2020 season and Perine will be the lead back in 2021. Book it. Gore is here to mentor Perine and take touches away from Bell. If that's true, why did we only sign Gore to a 1-year deal? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viermoo Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 It's not that I don't like Frank Gore. I do but, seriously, at 37 years old how can his body play like its 27? It can't. Bilal has proven to be a solid and steady player for this team for years with a two thirds more tread on the tires. There's also no question that he's faster and a better pass catcher than Gore. He would've provided more diversity to the offense. Not a devastating blow to this franchise by any means, (when you don't make the playoffs for years nothing is devastating) but, choosing Gore over Powell doesn't make sense to me. Hope I'm proven wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNJet Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I don't like it. Guys on his last leg. Damn near older than Gase. I was reallly excited about Perine. Got a good veteran back already in Powell. He's 7 years younger than Gore lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gore had nearly 600 yards rushing last season which was probably more than the entire Jets team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PepPep Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 2 hours ago, CanadaSteve said: If someone steps up, then you cut Gore. If someone doesn't, Douglas has assured himself of someone they know can do the job until they find a younger alternative. I hear ya, I just think we are talking about a 3rd string RB. Perine is not getting cut. Even if Adams or Moore or Dixon don't particularly stand out I'd still rather keep one of them just b/c they are younger and have some more upside than Gore, who is all but done with football. How bad can the young guys be that one of them can't earn a 3rd string role? I dunno, this move doesn't make sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I wouldn’t want to try to tackle Frank Gore in 3rd & 1 or 2 running up Mount Bechtons back. Damn near impossible. Bell doesn’t stick his head in there, Frank Gores head is like a cinder block! even at 37 the guys one of the best inside runners in the league. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 A few thoughts on the RB Frank Gore addition: 1. I love it from an intangibles standpoint. He will elevate everyone in RB room, especially rookie La'Mical Perine and including Le'Veon Bell. 2. Bell will remain RB1, but Gore can spell him for 5-10 carries per game. Some believe Bell wore down late last season. This will help. 3. Gore doesn't have much third-down value (only 81 snaps over the last two seasons). He's not an speed back, which means he's not an ideal complement to Bell. Rich Cimini, ESPN Staff Writer26m ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
