matty72780 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'd say we go after him. We need something with the Eagles forming basically the NFC probowl team on their roster. Barber runs harder than anyone in the league and would up our short yardage conversions guaranteed and wear D's down. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del-Falcon21 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Doesn't he fumble alot?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'd rather have Michael Bush or even Le'Ron McClain. Both guys are heavy and powerful runners who a good role players. McClain adds a bit of versatility in that he can play both TB and FB. Another guy is Mike Hart. But my guys are McClain and Bush.What I think will happen is we will stay with Gartrell Johnson.

*TMo* Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 How about John Kuhn. He plays running back and full back, catches and makes big, opportune plays. He doesn't fumble and breaks tackles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't fumble and breaks tackles.Why John Kuhn? The guy has never run for more than 50 in a game and has a career total of 330 yards. What's special about him as a RB?

Voice of Reason Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Ronnie Brown anyone?Would be nice to bring him back home don't cha think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmo_dlo Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 First of all I think we can upgrade over Snelling. Secondly, McClain has a career 3.8 average vs Snelling's 4.1. In four years starting McClain has 12 rushing TDs and 2 receiving TDs while in 4 years backing up others Snelling has 7 rushing and 4 receiving. I don't really see an upgrade. Third, McClain is primarily a FB and a very good one at that. It'd be awkward and inefficient to have two top FBs on the same team -- he wouldn't do that.

Knight of God Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Ronnie Brown anyone?Would be nice to bring him back home don't cha think?Well, all the board is looking for is someone who can upgrade Snelling. Brown is a good 3rd down back no matter how we look at it. I say yes, but don't foget injuries.Also for dmo(???), McClain hasn't fumbled in nearly two years and is a severe punch in the gut on those short runs. That's what makes him good. If Turner went down, then we would still have Rodgers and Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of God Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm glad someone quickly addressed that nonsense.Well, even a 3ypc average isn't awful...its average. He had 900 yds just two years ago and last year was allowed a bit more of a receiving and short yard role. Its in how and when he was used.

Draftnut57 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I have no source but my own, NO Way will they let Snelling go.. I have never seen TD make a bad call yet, And this IMO will not be the first. If they let him get out the door, I'll say they made their first big blunder. And A I really hope we keep Blalock , I think that would be a mistake not to keep him also, But not near as big a lose as to lose Snelling who is a very vital part of this team, VERY!!

It may be true.I will ask but when I sent the email to my friend saying "Snelling to the Rams" he replied in ALL CAPS "NOT TRUE." Of course I had to tell him thats what I've been hearing and he said and I quote "Yup made a call and my source says its not going downSent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
