Few here worth mentioning. IDK how recent this table is at Spotrac.

What's the story with Wilson besides fumbling?

OT but what's going on with J Long, Z Miller, and Gresham?

I heard him say that too. If the current crop is not impressing us during training camp, of course they will make changes accordingly... that goes with out saying, but the current plan is to stick with what they have now... no "upgrades".

I think that goes against the idea that "you're fooling yourself if you think 'upgrades' are going to be added to the current RB crop" since the FO said it could happen.

I would be happy if no upgrades prove to be necessary, although I believe that it will be either because of injury or none of the current backs showing they can be relied on to make the running game the kind of threat it was last year.

If you poll some here, these are 9 starters...sign em up..

No. Most of us see them as no better than the scrubs we have now. .... Now, Chris Johnson might be different.

It could happen... but not under the current conditions. They are happy with the RB corp as is until injury or lack of performance says otherwise.

As much as I do not care for our current group, I don't see any upgrades here.

I would as soon sign a street free agent like Knowshon Moreno.

That said, I think we will not make any move until we learn the hard way we got this wrong.

And even then, probably not until the season is over. They blew it and will now deal with it.

Hell NO to Moreno! Are you nuts??

For the rest of the list, no thank you.

That means they will be waiting until training camp until they realize they screwed up .

I am partial to Knowshon but he will not be back to form until week 6. Knowshon has played against the starters of all the teams had a decent season with the Broncos and was on track to a decent year with the Dolphins until he tore his ACL.

Moreno compared to these players, yes. Not a big fan of his either, but he was very good in the opener for Miami last year before getting hurt.

Every time I see the name Phillip Tanner I recall this


And how people lost their minds thinking it was so awesome.

Uh, Wilson is retired. He has a serious neck problem ala Michael Irvin.

He was excellent in Denver as well. He was a good all around back and took what was given to him, nothing flashy.

I do like the idea of Doug Martin, he did fall off hard due to injuries but who knows how a player will be if he can stay healthy in a different situation? He would not cost us much either. We have 1,000 linebackers and Rod/Lovie has a good working relationship.

I would probably ship a sixth round or something to Tampa to rent him for a year. Wait, we sent that to San Francisco to take a blocking TE. Nevermind.
