Is McKinnon a kick returner as well?

Go look at how the Saints you Kamara....IMO that's how he will be used. 120ish carries and 80 targets.
We need a big Mark Ingram like RB which we can now get in the mid rds.
Love this signing the more I think about it
Knew you'd come around!

Freeman makes over 8 million a year and splits rushes with Coleman. You're fixating on price.
Under Shanahan Freeman rushed 227 times in 2016.
You're saying McK won't split carries because he's making over $7M per season.
I said:
"Freeman makes over 8 million a year and splits rushes with Coleman. You're fixating on price."
Not sure how to be more clear. Price isn't everything.
1) McK isn't a bellcow back at any price. No one considers him a bellcow back. That isn't his strength.
2) Shanny employs two starting RBs.
3) McK is an awesome signing and will be dangerous in this scheme (Shanny is all about scheme), but you're literally the only person arguing that he'll be our feature back.
4) We "overpaid" for Juice last year, but he's much more than just a fullback. McK is a similar sort of signing.

Originally posted by Jiks:Hyde played the same way but lacked the speed and quickness to make up for it.

Hyde was the same way at times as well and was still fairly competent. At least McKinnon has speed to somewhat fill that void.

Then Kyle can use Brieda can speed for offense score. But we need looking for stud rush!!! McKinnon is not rush yards.
Don't worry Buzz...you'll love it when he busts a 40 Yard TD run...

For the love of god people stop looking at it as him being JUST a RB. he's a OW ( a real one) he's not gonna be a 1K RB he's gonna be a 1,200 line of scrimmage guy which is huge in today's game.
team him up with a Royce Freeman and we're gonna be very dangerous.
Who the hell is Royce Freeman?
Pass on Freeman:
Doesn't always play to his size. Too willing to eat contact rather than dole it out. Can be slowed by arm tackles. Hip tightness prevents him from consistently slipping leg tackles on perimeter runs. Jump cuts gain limited ground. Appears to anticipate contact at times when attacking run creases. Below average elusiveness once defenders close him out in the open field. Tires are missing some tread. Has had over 1000 touches during his career. Has become more of a grinder than a slasher as his career has moved forward. Lacks an explosive "get-away" gear to pull away from tacklers.
Oh thanks for copying and pasting his weakness from his draft profile lol.

HaHa.
Take the NYniner challenge and watch some film.
IMO he's perfect for this system...good vision, not dancing around/hits the hole, above avg pass blocker, hard to tackle. kid knows how to get in the end zone. It would be a great one two combo IMO.
