CJ Spiller Waived by Jets. Do we pick him up?

[LegendKiller]

I think Spiller would help greatly as a third down back. Do you think we put in the claim?

 

[Laloosh]

Never know... we don't have a 3rd down back right now.

 

[Year of The Hawk]

We are not deep at running back but we have Rawls and Poe (who did not look bad). At this point in season I would have to be desperate to go after someone else.

Prefer Collins or Spiller? Just curious.

 

[kidhawk]

It could be a possibility if/when Tukuafu is back. May depend on how well Reece does between now and then

 

[johnnyfever]

I bet they pick him up. Having a procise/spiller type player really added another dimension to the offense. Took a lot of the pressure off the line.

 

[XxXdragonXxX]

Well he was only released because Prosise came back, so with Prosise hurt again its a definite possibility.

 

[HawkFan72]

I would love to have him back. He was a direct replacement for Prosise and now he is needed again for that role. It is obvious they have no confidence in Collins, so Spiller would be a great #3 behind Pope and Rawls.

 

[jammerhawk]

Somehow I doubt the team picks Spiller up. The team had him here and he was let go for a reason beyond the availability of Prosise. I'd be surprised to see him back.

The team would need to cut one of the RBs we have here now and I suspect they don't want to let Collins go so soon and like what they see from Pope.

I could be wrong of course.

 

[Tical21]

Pretty sure Reece was signed for this role.

Just curious, but what makes you say this ? It was my supposition that they let go of Spiller because Prosise came back and they were redundant, plus Prosise is better between the Tackles.

that Farmer guy needs to go! Bring back Spiller

 

[Bobblehead]

Lots of teams ahead of us that could use Spiller, Packers, Vikings... ok maybe 2

He already went when Reece was signed.

 

[LegendKiller]

We released him because Prosise was healthy and Rawls was on the verge of coming back. Then we lost Prosise for the season, Pope suffered a high ankle sprain and we know that at any given moment Rawls can get injured for a period of time. Collins is slow and indecisive. I really wanted to give the guy a chance and was rooting for him but he just does nothing with his opportunities. Spiller > Collins. In my opinion, Spiller is also better than Pope due to his veteran experience and his ability as a third down back. Pope is a bit undersized and finding his groove...he should def be ahead of Collins on the depth chart. Just my two cents. I really hope we pick up Spiller.

ALLADAT! :ditto:

Can't say I'm not surprised. He looked like crap last week.

 

[Hasselbeck]

BRING HIM BACK.

I love Prosise but can we honestly depend on the guy in January?

 

[Hasselbeck]

The Vikings OL is such a train wreck even Adrian Peterson was rendered useless there earlier this year.

Not to mention they have zero cap room. So don't see Spiller landing there

 

[razor150]

Put Tukuafu on IR and sign him. I think Spiller can help the team more than Tukuafu ever could. Just commit to Reece as the FB for the rest of the season, since he is an overall upgrade.

I'd say cut Collins, but we all know that isn't happening.
