GRANT

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

They need to get a rotation going next year with Jackson and whoever else we draft, bring in or develop. I like when RB's can get rest while the backup bangs on the defense a little.

I agree. You can never have enough good backs. I still would like to draft another guy in the later rounds to add depth and make the position as deep as possible.

Grant has unbelievable vision. This guy just needs to hold on to the ball and he'll be our running back for the next 5-7 years.

He just had a bad couple minutes. Dude only had one fumble all season. (or were these his first?)

[Cheesehead Craig]

Just a fantastic game for the guy. I'm still just stunned a day later how he played. There is zero need for a RB in this upcoming draft.

as convinced as i was, last year, that romo was/is the real-deal, i am just as convinced about Grant. he's got speed, moves and heart.

REDO HIS DEAL NOW!! LOL

Too bad Morency hasn't done more cause with his elusiveness and catching ability, that is the type of back that would go well with Grant and Jackson. I don't see Wynn being on the final roster next year. Detroit may cut Calhoun, I think he may be a good fit if he could stay healthy.

The only fumble lost he had regular season was at Minnesota.

how impressed are you w/ this kid? I'm just blown away. Most players would have been finished after the 2nd fumble..some after the first one. His character really really came thru loud and clear yesterday.


I'm completely convinced we dont need to go out and find a RB. Grant has proven he's the man. He runs perfectly for this system and constantly breaks off long runs. I dont remember Green breaking as many.

I know guys like Gado had nice flashes during seasons, but this kid just seems different. like far more. His running style fits perfectly. His vision and reads are almost always spot on. 1 cut and boom. He's not slow either.

wow. its hard not to be stoked about him as the future RB for the next few seasons. Heck I like what I've seen out of Jackson as well. I am really starting to like our RB situation and depth.

I'm not sure if Morency is going to be one the roster next year honestly. They've been giving Jackson a lot more reps as the third down back recently. I don't know if I've seen Morency on the field recently. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if they keep a ton of backs. Thompson and McCarthy have been known to have oddly shaped rosters.

i have a hard time seeing them keep him. they have grant, jackson, and wynn will be back. Morency seems the odd man out. the other guys are younger and far cheaper inthe long run.

Didn't he lose one after a catch against St. Louis?

Bring on the AP comparisons.

Bring on the AP comparisons.

AP did not rush for over 200 yards in a playoff game this year.

[Joemailman]

It's my understanding that Grant's contract is up after this year. I know he hasn't been in the league long enough for UFA. Would he be restricted rights, or RFA? Patler, are you there?

Grant and Jackson make the roster for sure because of performance and draft position, respectively. Whoever proves to be the next best all-around back (blocking, blitz pickup, screen catches, receiving in general) will be the 3rd back. This could easily be Morency. Wynn better toughen up if he wants to make the roster. He could still turn out to be a head case, and this team is all about ego-less chemistry. Hell, Herron may beat out Wynn despite his playing in wet cement most of the time, because his teammates and coaches seem to like him. How well liked is Wynn?

We may also draft somebody and we may also keep four (five?) backs. Training camp battles will sort this out too, who makes the roster next year is going to be determined more by what happens in the next eight months than in what happened this year. A couple of guys looked pretty "meh" last year but came on big time during the offseason and stepped up to become major contributors (Bigby and Jolly come to mind.)
