James Starks (RB) Set for NFL Debut

[RashanGary]

I'm the resident Nance fan. Starks is a wildcard, but I like Nance. I think he'll be a good runner for us.

I agree with ya Snake. This team is a running back away from being dominant. They're already good. They would have thrashed the Falcons if they had someone who could have gotten it done on those short goal-to-go situations.

It'll be interesting to see what Starks has going for him. I hope he shows something promising. At this point I'm not holdinig out too much hope but the guy's gotta have fresh legs, at the least!

I still think Nance has a chance to be a pretty good mudder. I can see his running style being effective in slop especially with some reps to get in a rhythm with that line. Whatever the case may be, they need a guy who will just head up the field and at the least get back to the LOS. I love BJack in that 3rd down role but they need a different guy who can reliably head upfield on 1st and 2nd down.

Our fullback play has also been disappointing. Whatever happened to the high hopes for Quinn "Battering Ram" Johnson. That guy does not appear to have developed into anything beyond mediocrity. A great RB may be able to make his own holes, but a better lead blocker would make our pedestrian RBs better.

I guess in the context of this season yeah. However in the grand scheme, this team is a Finley away from being unstoppable on offense. Finley was a much bigger loss to this offense.

Starks Set for NFL Debut

Brandon Jackson is not a good NFL running back. He's a great 3rd down back...

kind of contradicted yourself didn't you???

[RashanGary]

Nance = Edgar Bennett

[gabe]

First half down, he got more carries then Jackson. I was impressed with the way he hit the holes and he looked a little rough to bring down. I think we may have something here, Mr. Jackson, welcome back to third down back.

[gabe]

Plus with Jeff Reeds terrible kickoffs, he has looked pretty good on both kick offs he has snagged.

Starks is just what we need right now!!

[Iron Mike]

It's nice to see a RB fall forward for positive yardage. Just sayin'.

[denverYooper]

Starks is just what we need right now!!

He sure fit the bill today. His style looked like pretty good fit with this O! 18 carries for 73 yards. Not a shabby debut.

[3irty1]

Most important thing about Starks is that he didn't leave any yards on the field. This guy is going to take us to the next level this year.

[rbaloha1]

Impressive. Nice leg drive between the tackles. Wonder how he looks running to the outside.

Nance is garbage

Starks is the next Ryan Grant with better hands

[gbgary]

not a bad beginning for the youngster.
