In a silo, I like this move as Foreman is a good RB. However, this might shed a bit more light on where the team sees Chubb and his rehab progress. It might also tell us that Hines might be more a ST signing than anything else???
I'm also guessing he fits the Kareem Hunt mold to a degree as well.....short yardage back to move the chains.
I don't think the Hinse signing was an effort to being in any type of workhorse. Maybe not just a ST signing, but more a pass catching back. That is all he has ever been.
Of course he wasn't signed to be a workhorse.
But when Hines was traded to Buffalo and Ken Dorsey was the OC, he wasn't used all that much as a pass catching back. In the 9 games w/ Buffalo after being traded, he was targeted 9 times and was primarily used on special teams as a kick returner. A stark contrast from his usage in Indy.
Ken Dorsey is now our OC, oddly enough. We'll see what happens.
