here's a better summary of what I was getting at earlier on Shady

quote:
Roman and Ryan's Ground N Pound philosophy theoretically bodes well for LeSean McCoy, but there are causes for pause. The first is offensive pace. Whereas McCoy spent the last two seasons on an up-tempo Chip Kelly team that ranked 13th and first in the NFL in plays from scrimmage, Roman's 49ers ranked 24th, 30th, 31st, and 20th. The shortage of play volume is quietly a significant concern for McCoy's workload. McCoy's receiving usage is also unlikely to rejuvenate following a disappointing 28-catch season. After averaging nearly four receptions per game from 2006-2010, Frank Gore just barely averaged one catch per game in four seasons under Roman. Another concern is a Bills offensive line that is currently holding competitions at both tackle spots, and will start 32-year-old reclamation project Richie Incognito and third-round rookie John Miller at guard. Finally, McCoy's efficiency took an alarming dive in 2014. His per-carry average (4.23) dropped by nearly a full yard off 2013, and McCoy ranked 17th in per-game fantasy running back points. I can get behind McCoy as a mid- to late-second-round fantasy pick, but he is being pretty severely overdrafted at his current ADP of 1.07 overall.

Rookie RB Jay Ajayi a 'disappointment' so far
The Miami Herald calls rookie RB Jay Ajayi "a bit of a disappointment so far."
The physical Ajayi should look better once the serious hitting gets going at camp. It's also possible his head is simply swimming as he goes through his first real NFL practices. But for now, it sounds like the Dolphins are seeing why Ajayi was still available in the fifth round of the draft. Meanwhile, the coaching staff is talking up an increased workload for Lamar Miller. Ajayi needs to unseat Damien Williams just to win the No. 2 back job. Dolphins GM Mike Tannenbaum recently stated that if Ajayi "doesn't pass protect, he will never be active (on game days)."

Excellent

James White still appears to be the favorite for third-down reps. During a two-minute drill, White was with Brady and Dion Lewis was working with Garoppolo.

Belichick on running back James White: You know, a guy who can really play on all three downs, good in the passing game, has good run skills, had a lot of production at Wisconsin. Actually played ahead of [Melvin Gordon] his senior year, when Gordon was a junior, sophomore, whatever he was, an underclassman. But a quality guy, smart, really team oriented, does a great job. And like a lot of guys, looking to make a jump from year one to year two.
