Grant did show something today, but I wouldn't be so quick to call him Dorsey. Denver did shut down the running game the second half, and we didn't score at all.

They've been calling him that since he got here.Originally posted by Bub"Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

I like how he delivers a blow. Lanes or no, just hit someone. Get that 1-2 minimum by smacking someone and falling forward. I know our OL has had some problems. Having a back that dances in the backfield accentuates it (unless it's Barry Sanders
).
That's what I liked about him last night, running room or not, someone was getting hit

I don't care what they've been calling him, I just think calling an undrafted rookie who hasn't started a game Dorsey is a bit premature.Originally posted by MJZiggyComment

I wonder if Grant were wearing #42, would people be labeling him the next LeShon Johnson, instead of the next Dorsey Levens."Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - WoodbuckComment

Najeh was not a guy who dogged it. He had a lot of injuries in Green Bay, so GB rolled the dice and let him go. Davenport has held-up well for Pittsburgh, he's having a solid career.Originally posted by Maxie the TaxiComment

Dorsey Levens was a late pick as a FB. He didn't do much his first 2-3 years. Then, he blossomed. I see many of the same things I saw in Levens at a young age in Grant. Never too early to make a comparison. Levens was good, but we aren't comparing him to Gale Sayers.Originally posted by Bub"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

Heck, lets call him Terrell Davis. A late pick, one cut, zone blocking back that delivered a blow.Comment

I got a question for the growing Grant Gang:
If Grant is such an instinctive runner, why was Wynn ahead of Grant on the depth chart? McCArthy came out of the blue just a few days ago and said Wynn is the man.
Grant at least was in the NFL last year, when Wynn was a part time player in college. Wynn has been very unreliable, in a couple different ways, hardly a safety blanket guy for the coaches.
I'm NOT arguing that Wynn should be ahead of Grant on the depth chart. Just suggesting a little caution. Wynn had moments when he looked like a tiger. If you think Grant is significantly better than Wynn, keep in mind that the coaches saw something different. Why? Last night may not have been a good test.Comment

Wynn may look better than Grant when he's on the field, but Grant looks a helluva lot better when Wynn is on the sidelines nursing yet another injury..."Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

Grant is the only running back of the four that hasn't had significant injury problems. OK, one point in his favor.
Of course its easier to stay healthy when you aren't playing.Comment

This is based on pure conjecture but...Originally posted by Harlan Huckleby
Grant wasnt in until after the final pre-season game so he had to learn the O.
Protecting Favre is job #1 with RB's here this season. Maybe Wynn is better at blitz pickup.
Maybe all things being equal they are neck and neck for talent, but they finally tired of Wynn being hurt/injured.Originally posted by 3irty1Comment

I think this is about right.Originally posted by Zool
I still say the running back derby isn't over.Comment

When we are talking Grant as a featured back I know things have to improve.
Running back is one area Thomps has failed. He'll just keep picking em til he hits it.
Thank God Ted wasn't able to run Favre outta town.
6-1Think I'll roll another number for the road.
