Why running backs? Maybe long term?

Other notes / rumors of interest here..
 

Its awfully early, but we already hear rumblings that running backs Ryan Grant, Brandon Jackson and DeShawn Wynn won't be around in 2010. Grant is overpaid, Jackson is unreliable and Wynn is a nonentity

I want a franchise RB sooo bad, i've longed for us to take one the past 3 Drafts and all we've gotten is B-Jack and Wynn. I wanted Lynch in 07, Forte in 08 and Moreno this past Draft. My new mancrush this year? DeMarco Murray(Oklahoma), kid has all the talent in the world but had some injury issues in college. I know, I know, red flag but this kid is special when healthy. He's probably a 2nd Rd pick right now but should raise his stock after scouts see him in shorts. A complete back who can catch, run, block, do it all.

Lumpkin, Jackson, and Wynn are special when they're healthy too. Too bad they're never healthy.

Yes, Steven Jackson behind a good OL would be a monster. Oh wait. That doesn't mean us then. :(

I want danny woodhead from the jets practice squad (ya Ill be saying this all year till we nab him).

He does returns and is a good runner; similar to sutton but better IMO.

"he ran the 40-yard dash in a time of 4.33 to 4.38 seconds which would have been the second-fastest among all running backs at the NFL Combine in March 2008. He posted the best pro-agility time of 4.03 seconds, the second-best vertical jump (38 inches) and the best 60-yard shuttle time (11.2 seconds)"

"Throughout his career so far, he recorded all purposes 9259 yards with second rank, all time list of NCAA. First ranker is Brian Westbrook who covered 9512 yards during his career 1997-2001, which is still unbeatable record."

Those 3 are never and never will be "special", they're above average at best. We don't have any backs on our roster that have the ability to be game changers on a consistent basis for 16 games.

But we are not having Jerry's telethon on the field.

Jackson has shown some as a 3rd down run/pass option, nothing much else. Wynn has shown some ability to be a short yardage back. Lumpkin was just the Sutton story from last camp. Not since.

I'm amazed the sarcasm dripping from my words wasn't blatantly obvious. I've been advocating for all three of those to be cut for months (thank God Lumpkin got the axe) -- obviously, I don't think they're "special." But all three of them sure have been slathered over by many members of this board.

Hmph. I need to get to genetics lab.

Would anyone else be behind a Kampman for Steven Jackson swap? You know Spagnoulo loves his d-linemen....

Umm, absolutely. Kampman has shown nothing in the 3-4 and if we're to stick with it, his greatest value to the Pack is as trade bait.
This team desperately needs a ferocious, top-tier runner. Grant goes down if a defender gives him a cross look, and there is NO reliable depth behind him. Ted Thompson grossly overpaid a flash-in-the-pan RB when he caved to Grants demands. I'm so sick of seeing Grant succumb to arm tackles I could :pukeright:

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
