What would a healthy Helu bring to the table?

[GhostRider]

Since Alfred is our primary back, we need to find durable bodies at running back. Helu and Royster have barely played and are injured constantly. Unless we can find a truly dynamic talent, they need to be able to pass protect, another area Helu and Royster are well below average in.

Why does this thread remind me of old MalcomB Kelly threads.

Fixed it for you!

I see him more of a 3rd down back. He'd have to compete with Royster. Id also like to give Tim Hightower another chance if healthy to see if he can spell Morris

This^^^

He's a nice back, but I see him more as a roll player. Catches the ball well, smart, not real fast but runs the ball pretty well. I'm not impressed with Royster at all and would rather have a healthy Helu fill that roll next season as well as THT.

The Skins needs another stud at WR to compliment Garcon. That would really put the offense over the top IMO.

Go fix a busted pipe or something. Malcolm is how you spell Kelly's first name.

I couldn't believe he actually got injured... seemed just a little hurt coming onto the sidelines... didn't realize he was going to be out for the whole year.

Knock on wood for Morris's health. But I don't see much of a competition between Helu and Royster for 3RB. Helu is a better blocker and proven to be a better catch threat out if the backfield. Him having better acceleration could actually make those give up draws or screens actually work.

yep, and with another decent back (assuming Helu is completely recovered from injury) he could take some carries away from Morris... which would be a good thing for Morris... he's young now, but his longterm effectiveness could be impacted by excessive carries..

I was hoping for a Tongan dish.

I don't know if Helu will do anything, but I think Royster didn't do much because he wasn't asked to, and we also brought Keiland Williams back.

This was my thought as well. Run the wishbone with Helu, Morris, and RG3. Defense has to cover the entire field, and you can run some nasty play action from that.

I hope to god we are not supid enough to run the wishbone. Read action from the pistol is one thing, the triple option is just begging to get RGIII killed.
