Marshawn Lynch anyone?
He's not available according to the folks in Buffalo.
I'd rather have McGahee..

Don't kill me for this, but what about Edelman as a third down back? Can he block? Faulk isn't big, and he protects Brady well. Edelman has a great burst and acceleration, plus he take off on a deep route. Thoughts?

Larry Johnson is the kind of back, that could flourish with a good team in a good environment I have always liked him as a solid RB. Dont know what, actually, happened to him.
I actually think this is Sammy Morris' moment to shine. While there's only one Kevin Faulk, I think Morris can do a more than serviceable job in that role, at least until Woodhead knows his blitz pickup assignments. Let's beat Buffalo, surprise Miami, be alone atop the division at 3-1 at the bye, and take it from there. We'll be fine.
I'm sure it's been said before.. but Tashard Choice seems like a great fit for the Pats.. Dallas is in need of O line help so maybe get Mankins to sign the tender and trade him for Choice and a mid/late round pick. Let Jerry pay the man.
I can't see the Ravens dealing him to the Patriots, not until after we play them. I enjoy Lynch's bruising back style and he looks like a mean MOFO.He's not available according to the folks in Buffalo.

Morris can't catch a cold
Useless as an option for the swing pass
If BB thought he was valuable in that role we would have seen more of him last Sunday

Then post that. Its much better than the wounded puppy approach.We should have had a better player than Green-Ellis on the squad before releasing Maroney. If maroney played for another team, we would be considering acquiring for a 4th rounder.
Many times we have had Faulk on the field as that RB, but a WR would be a better substitute for him than a RB.The reality is that we we have 5 lineman, 1 quarterback and a 1 running back on the field at almost all times. Unless Edelman is the running back, he is one of options to have on the field as a receiver. Since one of the tight ends will also be on the field almost always, Edelman will compete with Tate for reps at WR, not with the running back.
Yes for that part of Faulks role, but Faulk was part WR part RBI would think Sammy is going to be the third down guy now, given his jack of all trades profile as a runner, blocker, and receiver out of the backfield.

How about this... We aquire Brandon Jacobs through a trade and split carries with BJGE and use Taylor in Faulks role? Eh? Sammie Morris as FB. This way Fred Taylor isn't getting all the carries and getting banged up... Nicely split up between our RB's. I would also expect them to give Woodhead reps.
The only guy that we have that can replace Faulk partially is Woodhead, but who knows how long before he can prove that he can block.
Woodhead is the only guy like Faulk - can run, good hands, jitterbug and can possibly block due to his stout lower body. Remember that Woodhead has been in the NFL 2 years already - this is his third year - so maybe the light is coming on.
Edelman can not block and protect Brady. Also if Edelman runs a lot he will not last 4 games - too small - too slight.
Sammy can not catch - we already saw that last week. Taylor can not catch - we already saw that in training camp.

Only if the wide receiver is expected to pick up the blitz
He isnt picking up a blitz when he is split out in the slot..
