The RB situation

[zarakotas5]

We'd have to give something up to get Bell, though, when guys like Gaffney were available for free. Do you think Bell is an upgrade over Barlow or someone enough where it's worth giving up a day 2 pick for him?

Honestly, I couldn't tell you one way or the other. Bell was effective in Den, but he hasn't registered a blip on my radar since. Nor has Barlow.

Do you know anything about present day Cobbs? Or even Dominick Davis/Williams from Houston? I know he had a bad injury, but its been some time...

The Saints also cut the Auburn RB they drafted (not Irons, the other one) after he got hurt in pre-season.

Hopefully with Jackson or Troy coming of IR, perhaps Gaffney, or Washington could be trade bait. we don't need a top shelf guy, we just need someone to take pressure off Maroney/Faulk and breach the gap of Morris's absence. Not with the passing attack we have.

 

[zarakotas5]

Is Crockett still out there?

He just got picked up by TB?

In the other RB thread, a name was brought up that could make great sense: LaBrandon Toefield from Jax.

What's Mike Cloud up to these days?

It's not Morris' absence that I worry about, but rather Maroney's..."play a few games, sit out a few games" is not what we need...

IMHO, we've needed another running back since before the draft. We added Eckel.

A trade with the raiders might work well for both teams.

Alright, let's think Raiders.
We know we can do business at that store.

What do THEY need (or want)
that we've got (in depth)?

Somehow I suspect that Al Davis will never deal with the Pats again after the Great Moss Aszrap1ng.

 

[Revolution #37]

I think Fargas was very impressive the other week!!

Maybe go for him - but only depending on Morris' health!

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

I'd rather call up Barry Sanders than Ricky Williams.

Sanders may have been out of football for too long to come back, but who knows.

I know he doesn't want to come back, but the lure of a championship ring???

Not gonna happen anyway. We will just havt to get by with what we have.

True, but hoping Morris is just a few games with a sternum, and we've proven we can win with Morris.

I love sammy Morris. I hope he can get back. Maroney will prob be injured by the time Morris comes back tho

We should pick this guy up, just for the name

I am a Dominick Davis fan, but he hasn't really reached his potential now has he. He needs some motivation and some BB tough love.

 

[Oswlek]

Maroney will be back next week, IMHO

 

[BinaryLinguist]

Wait a minute... You mean Troy Brown can't play RB?

 

[Real World]

Clock Killin Corey Dillon.

changed his name to Domanick Williams, his mother's maiden name:

Hasn't played since 2005. Still injured?

That explains quite a bit. Maroney needs to harden up and we will be fine though.
