Helu had foot surgery in February

While this report says other wise, Helu may be healthy now, but he's still injury prone to me. I just have that feel that even if his leg is better, it'll be something new come football time. Prove me wrong Roy!

Helu was missed a little bit last year. But he was largely a forgotten man considering the enormous season Alfred Morris had.

Helu not being a every down back make preserve him a bit; hopefully.

I am not holding my breath on him. Though I am a fan of his.

Our backup RB's are too pedestrian to suit me. Helu, when healthy, didn't have much production. He's fast, but he hasn't really threatened the defense with big play potential. Royster is simply too slow for the NFL.

That's why I want to see the Skins draft a 3rd Down Back type. There are plenty of candidates, such as Mike Gillislee, Jonathan Franklin, Joseph Randle, Andre Ellington, Knile Davis, and Kenjon Barner.

Helu played very well when healthy .... Not sure what you mean.

Exactly. He has big play ability and he showed it. He just not the bruiser Alfmo is.

I think where we really missed a guy like Helu last year was being able to swing it to someone coming out of the backfield. He had 49 catches as a rookie. That aspect was completely missing from our offense.

I may be a little too judgemental about him. I just expected more of him, so I'd like to see some competition brought in to challenge him.

Mike Shanahan said of Helu, "I’m hoping Helu can come back and be the guy that he was at certain times before the injury." It's the "at certain times" part of the quote that is my hang up about Helu.

I want more 1st Down conversions, better pass protection, and more big plays from our 3rd Down Back.

You said the key words there. Whenever you have to say the key words, when healthy, about a prospect or player, you want to avoid those guys/they're really not that good because they're hardly on the field.

I'm quite positive I've heard you say the same thing about players you wanted to bring in or re-sign.
