I care about one thing and one thing only with him - hot, nasty, badass speed. That's it.
And I've seen a couple clips of cut and run plays where he still shows his burst. No, I'm not expecting him to pick through the line or do anything at all between the tackles. I'm thinking about those outside zone looks that they tried to run with CEH earlier in the year and were failing miserably with Williams a couple of weeks ago. Plays where he can just find a corner and turn on the jets. As a change of pace back, he presents something we just don't have right now. Especially if McKinnon's hamstring keeps him out at all. We have a bye week to get him up to speed w/ a limited playbook and hell, he may even have some knowledge we can use against the Broncos (though admittedly pretty unlikely). I think it's a zero cost, no brainer of a move. Many of us (or at least me - repeatedly) have lamented the lack of speed in our backfield and how that keeps us from really threatening that cover 2 shell. Teams don't fear our running game because we just are not a threat to break a long run. Well Lindsay with just 5-6 carries/gm could occasionally pop one of those. He's just a different animal than what we otherwise have.

Hrmm....yeah i didnt realize the Texans are just where RB's go to die. Legs look live here, albeit even Gore would make this play.

I think Gore was already inactive last week with CEH's return otherwise he'd be the guy to get rid of, IMO. But if you activate 3 and McKinnon is hurt, Lindsay is a natural replacement for him.

He'd cost about $1 million on the cap for a team claiming him. For a non-contender, why would you bother?
The Bills seem content with what they have. I guess the Ravens could be a fit, but Freeman's been oddly adequate for them. Raiders don't need him, Chargers wouldn't either. Titans are behind us, as are the Patriots (I think). Unless someone is willing to throw $1 million in cap space at a pure 'block' move (which isn't impossible), I don't see any team that's likely to put a claim in. Maybe the Rams? But Henderson has been pretty decent. The Cardinals with Edmonds dinged up? I don't recall the waiver order, but some of those teams are likely behind us anyway. In the end I think he'll clear outright anyway.

The Texans completely misused him, their O line is awful. As someone stated, look at Ingrams stats once leaving.
We dont have anyone like him on the roster, kind of thought McKinnon was going to be that guy but he never did anything and now hes hurt. Lindsay is fast and he makes people miss. He could be a really good addition to this RB group. Also the timing is perfect, we have an extra week to incorporate him into the offense. Our next game is the Broncos! Would be great to have him help us beat them. HA! I would definitely take a chance on him. |

How is he in pass protection?
Because while I completely agree with DJLN and I'd love to have his speed on this roster, Reid's simply not going to play him unless he can block. |

![]() This would easily be the biggest issue. He's a pretty poor pass blocker. The major question would ultimately be if, as a veteran player, he's at least a WILLING pass blocker. I don't need a RB pancaking fools, but he's gotta know where to go and be willing to get there. Just stand in someone's way and that's good enough for me.

They could line him up as a slot WR though. He can catch and make people miss. |

Bah, who cares. He's going to be a very game plan specific back for us anyway. He's not coming in to be an every down back. If he sucks at it they simply won't ask him to do it.
