Re: Pheeeeewwwww!!! Droughns traded to NYG for Tim Carter!

Noah Herron averaged 4.1 YPC last year. Morency 4.6. Droughns 3.4

Backups typically have a higher YPC. Nice try. NEXT!

This knocks out every team from the Lynch race except the fricken Bills. But who knows, they may be bluffing because they have a lot more pressing needs then the RB position.

Not necessarily. I don't think the Giants are looking for Droughns to be a long-term option.

The point is, 3.4 isn't very good. In fact, among the top 30 rushers of last year, Droughns had the worst YPC. Given that I expect TT to draft a running back on the first day of the draft, if not the first round, I'm just not that concerned with the running back situation. I expect the OL to be improved this year, and I think it will be the play of the line that will have the biggest impact on how much our running game improves this year. Maybe I should be the one with the Kool-Aid avatar.

I think somewhere along the line a couple packages of salt were slipped in to Retail's Kool-Aid.

I think you did have my old avatar for a while.... Anyhow, I wasn't a big Droughns fan either, however, if you had to run behind that line in Cleveland you'd have a 3.4 ypc average too.

I'm trying hard to shake this, but, just can't seem to do that. I had high hopes for a while. On paper, with a TE & a WR we looked pretty good till AG left town.

I agree about the play of the line, but disagree that the world will be rosy. If you recall, the line play was spotty at best till the final four games, and even then, it wasn't great. good enough, but not great.

Next season, the schedule is worse than this one, defenses are better. I don't think the outlook is that great. Ahman could run behind that line. Morency? NO WAY. Herron? give me a break.

I for one am glad they aren't bringing in a stop gap. The only 2 available back I would have an interest in are/were McGagee and Turner.
The rest are not worth the money.
