First of all, if you listen to his interview I think you'll get a sense of the perfect attitude of a Philbin player. Secondly and most importantly, he names the best things about his game as power and pass protection. I think its a lock he's the 3rd down back at this point (barring injury).
he's in a weird spot. Eventually a decision is going to have to be made at RB. Everyone hates daniel thomas and maybe they get their wish. I think the rumors of his demise have been greatly exaggerated personally but we'll see. If they keep gray, it's because they'll make a spot for him and not cause they cut thomas to do it. Miller looks promising. Im very excited, but maybe he doesnt work out. We'll need Thomas/Gray/Gillislee then.
From what I've seen he looked great! Ran with authority and purpose. Seems like a great guy and a hard worker.
Glad we kept him last season, so far looking good with his opportunities here. Hope for the best for him.
he's a keeper nothing wrong with a four man running stable especially, if they can contribute to special teams Miller/Thomas/Gray/Gillislee
A nice find for sure. 3rd down back I doubt...I see Miller (playmaker) in on 3rd downs. I see a potential spell back and short yardage role.
If Miller were injured I could see Gray getting equal snaps with Thomas. I think Gillislee was a wasted pick. We could have used our 7th round comp pick on RB Michael Cox and stashed him on the practice squad.
At the scrimmage in Sun Life he sure looked big for being only 5'9" I was impressed with his running more than Gillislee.
We had four RBs last year (including Thigpen). It will be interesting what happens at KR/PR. I think the outcome there could have bearing on some players like Gray. But, I've really liked Gray since seeing his play in college. He has some great quads - lots of power. And has some decent speed.
I don't think Daniel Thomas is going to get equal time with any RB. There's nothing he can do better than any of the other RB's... Gillislee wasn't a wasted pick because DT doesn't have a future here... Or likely anywhere soon enough. He's a bust with a capitol B. Daniel Thomas is the true wasted pick(s).
He needs to wear t shirts that say. North & South With a body like that there should be no question what you are..
