Who Will Be Our #1 RB?

"Do you guys think that TT had Marshawn Lynch in the cards the whole time?"


No. I don't think the Packers would count completely on a player being there at 16.
For the Packers to refuse to overpay Green, they have something in mind besides relying on drafting Lynch - which they very might well do anyway.
I would suspect either a doable deal for a vet, or they have spotted another player or 2 at the Combine who WILL be there in rounds 2-4.
If this was NOT the case, they simply would have overpaid Green - they have the money.

How about Portis? He may be in the workings for a trade. Washington won't keep him & Betts. They may do a KGB and later pick trade???

FOR PORTIS? Oh for crying out loud... Where do you get this shit?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Jamal Lewis would be horrible in a one cut system. He's like Jerome Bettis. A big back who likes to dance around (feet bouncing all around) before looking for somebody to hit. He's also a terrible receiver.

THERE'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR!!! SOME PASSION IN YOUR REPLYS!!!
I THINK PORTIS WILL BE TRADED. MARK MY WORDS.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Vernand Morency may be the starter.

A player who would fit our system very well is Thomas Jones - but the Bears would never trade with us. They do need to unload him, however, since it looks like he's not a happy camper.
Hmmmm...Portis is unhappy in Washington.... Jones is unhappy in Chicago...perhaps a pigskin menage a tois?

With Thompson as a party to the deal? No way. NO WAY.

Never say never.

Travis Henry is a fumble machine. Jamal Lewis is more beat up then Green ever was. I will take Morency and Heron. For everyone who thinks I am nuts, find me a game where Heron was called upon to start and played poorly. We need one more RB to fit and a rookie. Too bad Tatum Bell is gone because he would have fit well.

[The Shadow]

Much stranger things have happened.

Portis will be our back. Bank on it!!!

Red, Henry rushed for more yards than Green did last year. The reason Tennessee let him go was because he was due an 8 million dollar bonus, and they couldn't come to a deal on a new contract.

he was up and down and all over the place, until the last month of the year

one week he would almost run for 200, then the next week he would run for 20 and 19 carries. then he's go for 150, then the next weel get 30

just very up and down except for the last month, then he put up nice steady numbers

i guess it just bugs me because i was starting him on my FF team those weeks he had 20 and 30 yards, and i was like, WTF is that?

how is everyone so sure travis is going to be our new RB, is he even coming here for a visit. is TT bringing in anyone yet?

i think every packer fans needs to lower their expectations at this point, so we aren't as depressed when things don't work out the way we want. i think thats what i've learned from the last few days

[PackerPro42]

I'm just going to throw this out here, Marshawn Lynch. I know a lot of you don't like him,but he fits our system extremly well and if he's there at 16 I can't see TT passing on him. I think that Lynch is TT number 1 priority in the draft if Green is in fact gone.

Vernand Morency may be the starter.

Yep. and I bet he has 200 more yards than Ahman Green next year.
