running backs

[Bretsky]

I've been asking for a scat back for years; we don't value them.

We had CJ Spiller in for workout after he was cut.

He left GB, went to Seattle, and they closed the deal and signed him

We just have never been deep there.

[King Friday]

Releasing Kuhn was a no brainer, not a dead brainer. Kuhn has scored some TDs for New Orleans. Is his overall play still at high level? Maybe so. If so, I still say TT made a reasonable choice by keeping 1 FB. I'm not moved by Kuhn's emergency RB potential. But pretty much everybody and their uncle agrees that Starks has been a dud, they should have gone younger and quicker.

Ripkowski > Kuhn at this point...he'd have scored 5 TDs for the Saints by now. Considering that 13 yard run he had last week, he should be utilized more in the run game for the Packers.

We have one this year, Starks.

Can you say "scatological"?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

It's not fair, I tell you. It's just not fair.

Life's not fair.

I have a friend who went to work in a factory straight outta high school. "Nothin' wrong with that," said I. "A working class hero...(see Kap thread in FYI)

[Cheesehead Craig]

So Lacy is 50/50 at best to play and can't play that much anyways, Starks is out indefinitely, so who the fuck is going to be the main RB Sunday?

Monty.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Finally, we'll be seeing the full Monty.

[red]

Cobb or Monty will be the main back, which is pathetic

M3 just doesn't like rbs, they take away from the deep passing game

[run pMc]

As a 3rd down back or for screens/swing passes I could see them going with Montgomery. I think Cobb neck injury precludes him from playing RB.
I also think playing them as a RB with runs straight up behind Lang are stupid. They'd need to open up a huge hole in the defense's front for that to make sense, otherwise you're just beating up your WR's.

Hey, maybe they can use Janis as a RB.

[Rutnstrut]

The ONLY bonus of using Cobb/Monte in the backfield is when they get hurt, and they will. Stubby will finally have to play Janis and Abbrederis.

[denverYooper]

Lacy will play. He played most of his first 2 years with an ankle injury and did well.

[denverYooper]

Plus, we've got the Ripper. That guy fucks.

[RashanGary]

The party line is that they have two 3rd down backs, Cobb & Montgomery. I call bullshit.

Shut up

[Harlan Huckleby]

Stick with the meds.

[Pugger]

Ripkowski > Kuhn at this point...he'd have scored 5 TDs for the Saints by now. Considering that 13 yard run he had last week, he should be utilized more in the run game for the Packers.

And Rip might be now with Lacy and Starks hobbling.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Rip at RB would be pathetic. Having to play a little slot receiver at RB would be even more dubious - they aren't built to take that punishment.

One advantage of a third down back is they can credibly fill-in as a featured back in a pinch.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Plus, we've got the Ripper. That guy fucks.

lol

[gbgary]

We have one this year, Starks.

Can you say "scatological"?

can you say egg mcmuffin?

Starks ruled out for Cowboys game.

[red]

if eddy is also out or limited, we're done

i know m3 thinks you can win being one dimensional, but if we have/show no running game, the cowboys are gonna pin back their ears and make anton even more jumpy in the pocket then he usually is

and rip or the 2 wr's at rb is not showing a legit second dimension
