I just think he was drafted into a crowded situation and turned into the odd man out. If he gets a crack, I still think he may have the talent to do something with it. Long shot for sure, but the price is right due to the upside and the current jags in front of him.
Collins definitely did not look bad when he played with Seattle. I think that just might have something to do with coaching staff but I could possibly be overthinking it as well. I would definitely pick him or campanaro to really put some time in with that muddled situation.
I dont' hate Collins, but having watched him during his time in Seattle he didn't look bad, nor special. Granted the line has been sub-par, but Collins was playing against the 3's and 4's this preseason are really couldn't get anything going. Even Mike Davis looked superior to Collins in August.

But where there's opportunity there's hope. So maybe he'll get a shot with Baltimore at some point? Probably going to take injuries to West and Allen before it happens though.

So do you think Langford is worth bidding on for a West owner? And if he is what percentage of Bid dollars would you use. I think Langford can do some receiving out the backfield but idk

i have a few left over west shares and a handful of allen from early waivers....i think there's opportunity for both. allen finished 2015 strong and i was suprised he didnt get any run last year. (was there an injury) the word out of camp was that allen looked the best of the rb's anyways......would not be suprised to see him stay on the field and get an opportunity to prove whether or not he can handle the job. atleast moreso than west.

Reading today though that West has some sort of muscle injury that I didn't see any specifics about. I'm not sure if this will keep him our for any time, but if so we'll be seeing a lot more of Allen, and probably Alex Collins too.

yeah read he (Collins) has "earned" more snaps ..

We are pretty desperate for RBs huh?

Allen is no amazing RB talent, but he's more of a dual threat RB and I think that's what Harbaugh and Flacco like.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Allen finish the rest of the year strongly out-touching the rest of the Baltimore RBs.

After taking him super super late in a deeeeep startup last month I'm happy to have him as my RB3 currently.

Now that Langford is on IR and was a practice squad guy is he officially droppable?

Yeah I think so but keep him on IR until you need the IR spot for a better option

A.Collins. Like I said a few weeks back. Looks to be the best of the bunch.

Total speculation, which is usually wrong ... but it is fun. 8-)

Would there be any irony in Barkley (Penn State) going to the Steelers and sharing the backfield with Conner (Pitt)?
