So...who's our starting RB?

[run pMc]

To answer the thread's question, I think the starting RB will be Lacy.
The way they've talked about Starks, he'll be the backup, with Franklin the 3rd down back. Not sure where Green and Harris fit, although they both have talent and one of them will stick.
I say that before they've played a single preseason game...so I might change my mind in two weeks.

I wouldn't be surprised if they put Harris on the PUP list with some phantom injury or "rehab setback", and bring him back in time for Green, Starks or (God forbid) Lacy to land on IR. All of those guys have injury histories.

Cutting Kuhn is a possibility, but he's dependable and consistent if mediocre. Only way he gets cut is if one of the TE's proves they can block as a FB/H-back, all the RB's play lights out, and they can't find a trade partner.

I wouldn't attach too much meaning to that yet. They haven't even played a game. I imagine the STs are made up mostly of the top performers from last year, with a rookie here and there for someone who hasn't returned, or for someone who wasn't very good at it last year. More rookies will get exposure as preseason rolls on.

That's how I see it. With the decisions needing to be made at RB Kuhn love and STs will function for little in the final equation.

One of these days I'm gonna snatch that pebble from your hand, boss.

They don't like carrying FBs.

Except for the 2 years there were 3 of them on the roster.

OLBs replaced the TEs that replaced the FBs.

swede: Siri, can an NFL team play without a fullback?

I don't see why Kuhn got a generous contract. I hear things like "Rodgers is comfortable with him", "he knows the offense". I guess. He can't run the ball that well, even by fullback standards. Is he a blow-up blocker? I don't think so. I guess being assignment-sure is worth millions. Does he cover kicks? I don't remember him making tackles. I'd rather have another halfback, but maybe somebody can explain Kuhn love to me.

At the time I wanted them to give that money to Brandon Jackson. He had become a valuable 3rd down back....much better than kuhn, but MM and TT decided the special team contribution was that big.

I think they're giving Lacy every opportunity. Me, I'd keep Starks until he gets hurt. he's playing well now, so why not ride the horse til it falls over? Then keep Franklin and Green. Since the team lured Harris away from his bang-up car salesman job, I'd say they can probably cut ties and still find him later if or when they need him.

If Quarless gets and stays healthy, I'd keep an extra tight end over Kuhn.
