Samaje perine just got picked up by the bengals.

They now have four rb's.

Mixon
Anderson
Perine
Williams

Really hoping they trade away trayveon to somewhere that needs a rb. He's being overlooked in my opinion

He never had the tools to be anything but a backup, package back used as a blocker; and that's okay! He's making a good amount of money as a practice squad player, as he should probably consider finishing up his degree.

Good college back. Hopefully he goes somewhere that needs a 3rd option at RB.

He doesn't have much punch.

Not gonna lie, how is anyone not surprised? It was clear in college that he wasn't going to be an every down back or a really good backup in the NFL.

If I recall there were quite a few posters (and mods) on this board who were perplexed why he wasn't drafted earlier...

WTH, is the Bengals RB coach a former Oklahoma RB coach. Never seen any NFL teams stack up with 3 former same college, same position players. Thats a position full of women beaters right there. Trayveon should bolt if he gets the chance.

He was never going to be a starter in the NFL. I'm not even sure he was ever going to be in a 2-deep

Hes gotta work harder than everyone else

Woah, talk about a leap. He was injured most of last year for crying out loud. Regardless of them bringing in Perine, the 2020 season hasn't even started, nor has camp, practice, let alone the actual season itself and people are ready to write him off in his 2nd season? Ridiculous.

He hasn't been beaten yet.

to be fair, very few NFL RBs are every down backs. Most teams are going toward running back by committee.

You're right the Trayveon is not the kind of back who is on the field for all three downs, but many NFL teams don't want that anyway. They want a committee, and Williams could excel as a pass-catching back. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets some third down snaps this season if he can stay helathy, it's way too soon to write him off as an NFL player.

This is it. Maybe 10 teams will have feature backs. Half b/c they overpaid a free-aent RB. The committee is the present and the future. All committee will want at least one RB with TW's skill set.

Your on the wrong forum my friend. Oklahoma is known to have kids from the RB position beat women....on camera. Did I say "Perine is a women beater", heck no but it's a proven fact Anderson and Mixon are. My point is Tray is getting screwed. Here is a site you should visit that you should be on instead.

Here's a site you should visit that you should spend more time reading instead of TexAgs.



Here was your quote, "Never seen any NFL teams stack up with 3 former same college, same position players."

Those 3 would include the 3 RB's from OU on the team: Samaje, Mixon, Anderson.

Then you said, "That's a position full of women beaters right there."

That is you lumping him in with them. I couldn't care less about Mixon or Anderson, but you just assume that Samaje is on the same level.

If your point was that Tray should get out of there then you should have said that and left it at that. I don't know why I would expect you to post something decent on here, though. You're a known terrible poster on TexAgs.

You failed to even list their 2nd string RB Gio Bernard. He is their 3rd down back and at 5'9" / 205 he is the one on the depth chart that is costing TW reps

People on here have literally bashed people I have known as well. Who cares it's a dang sports forum for gosh sakes. Have some thick skin. Not only that but it's about a hated team we could care less about. I didn't even single out the kid on top of that. If it was the same situation about a sip would we even be having this conversation, no. The kid may be a good kid, I don't know but he was surrounded by a lot of coverup players at OU that did bad things. If he is a good kid like you say then I am glad he wasn't like the rest.

This site is going loco.

Playing at ou = guilt by association, at least in the court of public opinion

You misinterpreted what I was saying. My take on him is based purely on talent and what I saw in him as a Collegiate athlete. Going into the draft I never thought he would have a long career in the NFL. It made sense that he declared when he did but it didnt change how high or low his ceiling is as a RB

I like the guy and he was fun to watch. His stats in college are a little misleading however

Gone loco?

If he can stay healthy, then I think he will play out a meaningful career in the NFL That's the only obstacle I really see with him, considering his athleticism. Also, if he can work into the top 2 of a rotation, whether in Cincinnati or another team, I think he could contribute big time with his ability as a runner / athlete / receiver. Jimbo used him in the screen game quite a bit in 2018.
