I'm intrigued by Saine. I think he could become a decent all around back. He can catch, he's a decent runner, and he has the size to be a good pass blocker."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

Saine looks like a serviceable 3rd RB. I'd still like to see grant back, but even if he's not Starks, Kuhn, and Green should be able to handle the bulk of the load.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers View PostI'm intrigued by Saine.

Tyler just looks like a camp back to take some carries in the first few preseason games.
I guess if there is one thing I'd like to see is a big bruising back who can come in and get a yard when we need to move the sticks or on the goal line. With Starks and Green, we could afford to have a specialist like that in the backfield to pair w/ Kuhn in short yardage situations considering the fact that the offense doesn't revolve around the running game. But I'm tired of seeing them get in short yardage situations and getting stuffed.
starks your primary back
Green your 3rd down and speed guy
??? short yardage hammer
Kuhn doing what Kuhn does.

I remember a few of his runs of his last year where he showed some moves and a hard-nosed running style. I'm with you, he could be more than ok.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers View PostI'm intrigued by Saine. I think he could become a decent all around back.

Actually the only thing I am worried about for the RBs is finding one who can pass block. ARod took a few too many shots last year on loose protection.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Sounds like the old days of easing rooks into the rotation is long since over. Perry's the starter, no matter how many steroids and creams Walden/Zombo/Jones can do between now and training camp."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

We'll see. He may be called the starter now, but he still needs to outperform those guys consistently all summer to keep the spot. M3 does not give gifts where starting positions are concerned.Originally posted by Fritz View PostSounds like the old days of easing rooks into the rotation is long since over.

It seems like Ted is just saying fuck it we only hand the ball off like ten times a game anyway. Although I'm guessing they feel good about Alex Green.
For the 15 NFL free agents in this presentation, there is a reasonable chance that none of them will be signed to a contract in 2012. In most cases, that could very well be the end of their NFL careers...
Running Back: Brandon Saine vs. Alex Green
"James Starks ascends to the rank of full-time starter after Ryan Grant's departure, leaving Saine and Green to battle it out for the backup role.
Saine has the edge in experience—particularly after Green was shelved for the season with an injury in 2011—but the second-year running back out of Hawaii brings electrifying speed and pass-catching ability to the table." Fr. LINK
