All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Here's an article on his release. Never seen him play..
"While Frank Gore is the No. 1 back, subtracting the third-year pro nicknamed “Boom” is a setback. By last season’s end, Herron had become the starter. He was re-signed to a one-year, exclusive-rights tender in the offseason, presumably to back up Gore."
Runs with power, had some fumble issues (4 last year on 78 attempts). Had his rushing moments last year (I remember him). Younger Fred Jackson type (26), 2nd string type roster presence. Hurt his shoulder last year, then again this preseason on a kickoff return in the last preseason game so Indy had to waive him injured or IR him for the final roster. They waived.
A good pickup, not sure how long he stays when everyone gets healthy, but not a bad pickup like Richardson would have been. Signing Richardson would have been like signing a microwave cart and having someone put the ball on it and shove it toward the line to see what happens, imho.

Way better than Richardson, think has long term upside as a 3rd RB where Boobie doesn't. Not a bad move, debatable if would give us more as a starting RB than Bryce Brown but can't fault Whaley for predicting our top 2 RBs getting hurt so early yet still baffled why we're keeping so many WRs. I know there was talk that Ravens might be looking to trade for another WR but are tight against the cap, love to see us move Hogan/Goodwin there for a late round pick. Also I think the Seahawks not making Freddie their bell cow RB with Lynch hurt is showing it wasn't as foolish as some think to let him go toss in he's hurt too so I can't say that was a bad move either.

Re trading/cutting a receiver, I think it could happen because we added D. Moore. If he's anything like the player he was a few years ago Moore is better than Hogan or Goodwin. Also Boom > Boobie as an RB IMO. Don't know if he can play STs.
I'm a fan of Ohio State, so I've seen plenty of Boom.
Not a fan of any of the running backs they churn through that system. Eddie George is the last "good" RB that's passed through there. Ezekiel Elliot is the latest overhyped, next big thing.

Fair enuf. You know the player better than I do.
I'm still interested in seeing how he makes out and am expecting something positive from him.
In terms of what you're getting I don't see him as equivalent to Richardson at all. Think Whaley made the right call here.
