Now you're agreeing with DJLN that it's a cue from which we can take advantage.

Pick a position, please.

I'm not convinced it will be or it won't - I'm saying I simply don't care either way.

If he isn't - bully. If he is, Andy will immediately use that against teams.

I'd agree that he often doesn't play RBs he doesn't trust in pass pro but A) We're in some weird new era where teams just don't blitz Patrick Mahomes and B) He seems to maybe have a blind spot in this regard for veteran backs.

Bottom line is that he brings a skill we don't have and he'll likely bring it cheap. If we use it - great. If we don't - well that's too bad. I don't see any reason to NOT pick him up when all it would cost us is an IR trip for McKinnon.

This is the important aspect, IMO. If McKinnon is hurt, Lindsey could replace that.

You know, I hadn't considered (A).
