Ahman!

[LEWCWA]

Anybody watch him carve up the Cowgirls in the first half?

NO SURPRISED AT ALL HERE

WE WILL GREATLY MISS AHMAN

And how much are we under the cap right now?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Green broke a 46 yard run. Was 7-19 on other runs.

Enough to afford Ahman twice and then some. Maybe we should have just signed him. Steve Slaton, Ray Rice or Darren McFadden sure would be nice conselation prices for letting him go, though.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Green has had a fairly crappy preseason. And a crappy night tonight other than one run. He breaks a 46 yarder and people suddenly have him back in his 2003 form.

Lets see how season goes. Jackson could be outperforming Green by November.

So he was 8 rushes for 65 yards. Whether he broke one or not any coach will take that.

Nobody thinks he's as good as 2003; but many do feel we'd be much much better off with Green, Jackson, and Morency and should have signed Green "before" free agency began.

ya, well its certainly true that TT should have gotten SOME free agent.

Its too hard to know if Green would have been willing to sign before free agency, obviously it would have been a mistake from his standpoint.

Being this far under with no worthy FA signing has to be a thorn in your side. It'll grow to 35,000,000 next year and you'll still have your sig.

If I remember correctly, most everyone had hoped that we could find a way to keep Ahman. Then came the offer Houston put on the table for him and many decided he wasn't worth it. Whether you agree or not that he was worth the money, can you honestly say that you are happier with our RB situation vs having a Pro Bowl back with experience, power and speed?

Every one of us has something different on what we liked or didn't like about the off-season, draft, etc.... I guess it's safe to assume that letting Green go was the biggest thorn in my side. It's not even just that...it's that nobody else was brought in. I know, I know ....."we're happy with what we have and we clearly feel there isn't anyone else better out there"

I wish Ahman nothing but the best this year

That was before we cut Fergy. Now it's 15,000,000.

I was watching some of those game clips from last year. Ahman had some good bursts. Morency also had a few good runs.

I'd feel better with Ahman here, but he's not. What would really help right now is for Morency to get healthy. At least then we'll have some more options.

[RashanGary]

Green is a slighty above average back at this point in his career. A good player but hardly a playmaker and hardly irreplacable (and a fumbler). I'm not a huge Morency fan like some but the drop off from Green to Morency at this point in both of their careers is a lot smaller than people here let on IMO. Good for Green, he got his money and probably has one more good year left. We have a young back who will be here for the next 8 years, a 2nd RB that will be here for 5 years and a GM who will draft the next great running back if he appears to us. If the NFL ended and shut down at the end of the season it would have been nice to get Green but that small short term gain that everyone panics about helps far less than the harsh long term loss. Imagine if we did yesterday what people propose we do today, we wouldn't have options today You have to find a way to maximize the cap and get more talent than anyone esle. Wasting money hurts.

[falco]

Wasting money hurts.

Some would argue we're doing just that by not spending it.
