This is a RB I THINK I'd love Dallas to take a run at. I know he's good in the open field and can catch the ball consistently. Runs hard. I don't watch the Vikes close enough to know about his blocking....

I'm hoping he'd be an affordable upgrade from JJ.

I actually like Moore, I think his weakness was always blocking though.

wouldn't be a bad signing.
Moore is a jack-of-all-trades kinda like Sproles.

He's a good back but his size limits his blocking ability and homerun speed.

He's a 3rd down back. You are not asking him to block much. He's high on my wish List.

Not trying to be difficult, but 3rd down RB's don't have to pick up the blitz??

FWIW, I like him too....just don't want Romo killed by a LB....

Mewelde is all right. Not a burner but a really shifty back. I seem to recall the vikes questioning his toughness after they were hoping he might turn out to be the lead back a few years ago.

I'd hope the boys could do better but they could do worse.

This guy filled in and averaged like 200 all purpose yards a game a couple years back.

He can run, catch, and return. Not sure of his blocking ability, but as a cheap veteran 3rd RB option, I think this guy is underrated.

He played great when given the chance after injuries to multiple backs in Minni. But he never seemed to get any respect there.

Always thought it was strange.

Backup at multiple postions with some wiggle/quickness, and he's not a rookie, which is what 2 of our 3 backs will likely be if we don't add one in Free Agency.

He must have something wrong with him (he's not big, and doesn't have home run speed, I guess). Just not sure why he never got the breaks. He didn't seem to mess up.
