We can only hope.would like to see him move to the 2nd string.

 

[Feverdream]

I would say, "yes".

I would certainly prefer him to Walton or Gaskin.

 

[Danny]

He could be. First they need to keep him in the final 53 and then he needs to get a real chance to play which is very possible as Drake is hurt and has been hurt before.

Rooting for him as a Cal alum. He's exactly the kind of player that everyone passes on because he seems like a misfit - then the Pats get him and effectively utilize his smarts and want-to.

 

[ChambersWI]

He profiles as a Danny Woodhead like player

 

[jazz015]

maybe he is Zach zenner or Peyton Hillis or jim kiick or maybe just maybe he is.....

Even better. Woodhead was a much better player than Rex Burkhead.

I would argue it doesn't matter with how pathetic our offensive line is. Our backfield is pretty stacked, so even if we do keep him, he'll be fighting for carries.

Too bad we can't say the same about our O & D fronts.

 

[FINOMINAL]

If you can catch someones eye running through the holes this offensive line makes , you are probably pretty good. You can only work with the opportunities you are given. I think he has done about as well as an undrafted guy can do.

 

[Burnt Reynolds]

I also think it's hilarious that white skill wrs/rbs are ALWAYS compared to other white wrs/rbs.

 

[Dolphin North]

Until we find our Adams, none of the other comparisons matter.

Not popular I'm sure, but I don't think Ballage is ready for a heavy workload. He's got some ability but he seems to miss the right hole. I question his vision. I am on the Laird bandwagon but I'd like to see him against higher quality talent before I judge him too much.
