If this guy has changed his attitude, he could be a good Antowain Smith type for us.
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'm not saying he's the answer, but I'd love to see the Pats take a flyer on Larry Johnson. He's exaclty the type of big, downhill runner the team needs right now imo. He would be a reclamation project for sure, but then again, so was Corey Dillon. :bricks:
IMHO, if anyone lines up in the backfield it will be Hernandez, not Edelman.
He's not available according to the folks in Buffalo.
I'd rather have McGahee..
How do you feel about Brandon Jacobs, and what would be the max you would trade to get him?
You're not impressed by a guy who throws his helmet into the crowd out of frustration? I fully expect him to "fap" on the sideline when he scores a TD.I take it you haven't watched Brandon Jacobs lately...

As I said in another thread, if he can be had for something reasonable, I think Willis McGahee could be useful. 109 carries for 544 yards last year shows he can play in a committee. Can run with power between the tackles and get tough yardage. My friends who are Ravens fans say his blocking is underrated but I'm not convinced.
The Ravens are Super Bowl contenders.
How in the name of God can you imagine that they'd trade McGahee??
Dillon appeared to have more left in the tank at that point in his career than Johnson does today.
Blame Sperm Edwards for running his wheels off.
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.
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.
But the Ravens lost last week and are 1-1. Isn't their season over just like the Pats' is?

He was injured last year, so maybe he's just starting to come around. Add to that the story that he wants out of the NYG, and maybe he can be had on the cheap (late-round pick).
The Steelers don't seem to be using Mewelde Moore that much, so maybe he could be had, or the Bears' Garrett Wolfe.
