True. A 40 yard dash is straight line. I'd rather have a guy that can make people miss.

Then I don't think Nance is your guy. After watching some pre-season clips (really freakin' hard to find, had to sign up to a Falcons fansite) the dude looks like a poor man's Marion Barber. But I hope I'm wrong.

Stats never tell the story for how good a player can be especially preseason.

yep, he is also playing with a 2nd-3rd string o line. YPC is a stat that is mostly dependent on the line, unless you are a guy who can make many people miss, which this guy doesn't sound like he is.

We should just see how he plays on gameday before we make assumptions about how he will do because of stats or 40 time.

Some Falcon fans opinions

Interesting detail from there is that some guy said he's a screen pass threat.

Please tell me he can catch the ball and be effective on screens.

Ok from that Falcons forum: "And the guy we kept couldn't hold on to the ball. Nance was a screen pass weapon as well."

"The 5-foot-11, 211-pound Nance was signed by the Falcons as an undrafted rookie out of Arizona State this year. One of two Texas 5A high school players to rush for more than 3,000 yards. Cedric Benson is the other."

I know that was only high school, but Ced is a tough runner. Im kinda pumped about this. Glad to see no one overly freaking out...

You have to remember, he is also going against mostly 3rd stringers on defense, too. I'm just saying that for someone who seems to have some Falcons' fans believing he should have made the 53 ahead of another RB, I expected some metric to indicate some potential.

51 yards on 21 carries in the preseason is not really convincing. But, he seems to be a RB that can catch out of the backfield... the more I read up on Nance, the more he seems like a poor man's B-Jack, actually.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.
beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time
Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53
Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before
beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season
beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.
beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine
Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder
Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in
Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round
