Camp Reports 2013 or Oh No, That Doesn't Look Good

[QBME]

I finally got around to watching the game last night. When Harris went down the Ref who was a couple of yards away suddenly turned his head and looked at him. The Ref came directly over, kept him down and called to the GB bench. It sure looked to me like the Ref heard it pop. Not good.

DuJuan Harris put on IR today.

Darn, but I think we all saw this coming. This puts a new wrinkle in the RB situation. Do we now keep Lacy, Franklin, Starks and Green (I thought I saw we waived Pease already)?

[RashanGary]

I see almost zero reason to keep Starks AND Green. Franklin now has a chance though. He's young. He has the body type to be a heck of a ST player and possibly a role player on offense.


The nice thing about Starks and Green is both of them know the offense. You can keep the whole playbook open. Keeping two players based on that, seems ridiculous. There is just too much of a premium on making plays in the NFL and too much of a premium on competent big guys. No way.

damn, the guy MM had pegged as the starter, even if many felt he was blowing smoke.

Not a big deal. I smell that Starks or Green will rise to the occasion. HArris was not Barry Sanders, despite the slight resemblance.

Losing Harris is bad news, but it buys the team more time to sort out the RBs.
They have room to keep all 4...and given the injury histories, should keep all 4. I don't trust any of them to be healthy enough to handle more than 180 carries a season. By mid-season they will know if Green or Starks are worth keeping, and what they have with Franklin.

If reports are to be believed, Starks started out TC like gangbusters but ended up in the doghouse after the STL game. I think they'll feed him vs. KC and he'll respond.

Lacy is clearly the starter. Starks becomes his backup, Green or Kuhn comes in on 3rd downs and Franklin is the apprentice.

My money's on Franklin.
