MartinC Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I never understood all the negativity about him from other fans. Last time I checked he had a better year than Marvin Harrison last year he is emerging and u add in Hank time watch out Well to be fair to Marvin Harrison, he is retired :evilg: Think you mean Reggie Wayne there.

Truant Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I thought he was a running back in college? He was. Pretty good as a part-time starter. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/draft-2012/players/82669.html Averaged 5.8 a carry last year and a good kick returner. He's not just a track guy.

RawBBQSauce Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Jeff Demps' college statistics: Year Stat Number Yards Average TD 2008 Rushing 78 605 7.8 7 2009 Rushing 99 745 7.5 7 2010 Rushing 92 551 6.0 3 2011 Rushing 98 569 5.8 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSanz Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Honest question, and I'm sure it's been asked before, but... Why don't linemen and/or positions where a lot of running is not always necessary wear knee braces ALL THE TIME?! I mean, wouldn't that reduce the number of ACL injuries we see in linemen? Are they really that restrictive that players would refuse to wear them? I'm hoping someone can educate me on this. I know if another 300lb. lineman falls on the back of your leg that there's not much a knee brace would likely do to save you...but I gotta think it will help overall to reduce the number on knee injuries... I appologize if some view this as a completely naive question. Just wondering. #Neild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss_Hogg Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I thought Baker played very well against BUF. He's now got his chance to prove himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I wanted Demps from the beginning, even before he decided to go for the Olympics. I'd be ecstatic if we got him. Demps played running back in College right? I'm assuming though we see him as a kick returner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd make sense to me that without them you have more range of motion and would be strengthening the muscles around your knees more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobGriffin Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 imagine a zone read play out of the shotgun with Jeffrey Demps and RG3. SCARY. Hope we can sign him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairRedskin Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Sucks for Truck! We should probably see about growing some spare ACL's. Its 2012. Players shouldn't be out a whole year for any injury. Lets get on that scientists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acuratl1984 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Looks like we are taking a look at Demps. I sure hope we get him. Our speed alone will scare teams away. Where are you seeing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Let's say, hypothetically, Demps came in, tore it up and made the roster. Who's spot does he take? Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpath11 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Would love to add Demps for kick returns and certain offensive packages. He would be a match up night-mare. I would use him like Darren Sproles, line him up all over the place on third down (backfield, slot or outside). Wasn't Demps on the South squad in the Senior Bowl this year (or that might have been Rainey)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazzaro703 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 DAMMITT!!! And I hate pure track guys. They never really become anything great in football. Well, Golston or Worthington will make the roster now. While i understand this, you send Demps deep on a fly pattern either 2 guys go with him..... or RGIII hangs it up to him EVERY TIME!!!! I'd love to have him provided coaches like him, he fits in etc etc. Or line up Demps and Garcon outside, Moss in the slot, send both guys deep and either they double up on them and leave Moss wide open somewhere over the middle in single coverage, or they leave a guy in single outside and we air it out.

blitzpackage Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Giants Shaun Rogers is out for the year with a blood clot. So we might have some competition for Dixon. (I always liked Dixon though). As far as I can tell he only has 3 accrued seasons meaning he is subject to the waiver system. That means if we want him we get him before the Giants....unless one of the five teams ahead of us in the original draft order put in a bid. If I'm wrong someone feel free to correct me, I'm not 100% sure with new CBA rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume we would keep him instead of the last receiver and see him as the primary return guy and also have a package of plays for him as a slot receiver and running back on some of the zone read stuff.

If Demp decide to come here, I might have to say, THT (cut) or Alfred Morris will go to PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's that simple or you'd see so many teams succeeding with straight speedsters as one of their WRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
