BostonHerald.com - Blogs: Rap Sheet Blog Archive RB Javarris James gets promoted from practice squad to take Laurence Maroney’s roster spot

There's the answer to who gets the last spot. I had wrongly assumed Murrell or Crable for sure. Any thoughts on this guy?

Tasco · 09-15-2010, 10:31 AM

wow, he must have really impressed the coaching staff, although he probably isn't going to be active for a lot of games.

***Calciumee*** · 09-15-2010, 10:33 AM

Very surprised at that.

Thought Murrell would have been resigned.

Interesting...

So now the decision looks like this:

Is James, Green-Ellis, and a 4th > Maroney, Green-Ellis, and a 6th?

Time will tell.

Interesting that he has ascended so quickly.

Here's the basic data and summary on him. He was projected to go in the final round of the draft, or go undrafted.

A Colts fan page did a fairly good assessment of his skills prior to his release.

Here's to hoping he can contribute

I seriously thought the move would have been to sign a recently released Jets player, like Danny Woodhead, drain all his knowledge and then cut him after this week.

I don't think we need that against the Jets. We've seen enough of them, and had no trouble with them 2nd game of last year.

That's true. Plus it doesn't take a genius to figure out that offense.
