Bergen Jet Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Just like when they signed Corey Dillon, right? If they use Taylor correctly I think he will be a very good pickup for them... he averaged over 5 yards a run in 2006 and 2007 and IMO can still be a productive player when not expected to be the focal point of the ground attack.

SoFlaJets Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 in 13 games last year he went 143-556 3.9 1 TD and had 16 catches for 98 yards...good pick up for the Scumbags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdropOFvenom Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Just like when they signed Corey Dillon, right? Corey Dillon was 30 in 2004 when he became a Patriot, he only really had 1 great year for the Patriots anyways, the other 2 years he was a committee back who was mediocre/poor by YPA Fred Taylor just recently turned 33. I highly doubt he has a Corey Dillon 2004 season in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Fred Taylor is better than Corey Dillon. Jacksonville's offensive line is horrific, he's going to do very well in New England the next two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Plus, he has been splitting carries with Jones-Drew for the past three years. A little less wear and tear then a normal lead back with 8 straight years of 300+ carries.

PatriotReign37 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The season before last he rushed for 5 + YAC.

Alk Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 taylor is 33 yrs ole you have mcphoney morris jordan and faulk good RB's can be had in 4th to 6th rds Where have you been? Jordan is a FA. It'll be Taylor, Maroney, Morris, Faulk and Law Firm which will wind up being Taylor, Morris, Faulk and Law Firm. Which is an improvement over last season.

PatriotReign37 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 no he doesn't , drew was always in on 3rd down Huh? Didnt post a thing about 3rd down. Is there a new rule where NFL teams cannot pass the ball to RB's on 1st or 2nd downs? this is a dumb move I will yield to your expertise on that matter. not sure what he signed for harrison as the 3rd wideout makes more sense Ya Harrison would be thrilled to go from the # 1 Guy to # 3. And, likley wouldnt want too much money either. Whats wrong with the NE front office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faulk is 3rd down back, taylor morris and mcphoney makes no sense None of that means Taylor is kaput, particularly for the role he will likely play (part-time with some spot-starting if needed due to injuries). I think it's a good pickup for them. Hopefully it flops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alk Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 not it isn't taylor is kaput all old RB's hit the wall, what are they paying him? If he was going to be the feature back you might have a leg to stand on but he'll be splitting carries which will keep him fresh. Again, good signing.
