I like our guys. Starks had what, 4.8 per carry this year? He had a bad game against the Bears and later in the season he had ankle issues. Dude can play. Remember, before that shoulder injury in college, he was ranked as #2 RB in the country behind only CJ Spiller. Only problem is WHEN he had that shoulder injury. He missed his entire senior season, which is why he fell in the draft. If he had the injury in the last game, it wouldn't have been as big of a deal. Dude needs to stay healthy, although with the depth we have, I think we'll be able to spell him when necessary. He can also pass pro on third down.
I know I've talked shit about Grant in the past, and honestly I doubt he'll be back next season due to 1: his age, 2: the shenanigans he pulled during the Favre fiasco in order to leverage his contract and 3: the depth we have at the position, but the dude is for real late in the season. He doesn't have great vision, runs into the pile too much, isn't a third down guy and isn't the best as a receiver. But he gets stronger as the season goes on, and even as a game goes on. He was actually making it around the corner at times late in the season this year.
Alex Green did nothing in college but lead the nation in yards from scrimmage. Or was it average per carry? I'm very excited about this guy. When he busted out his knee, it make me physically sick. The dude is a pass catching and third down specialist. Perfect mold for our system. MARK IT DOWN. Dude's gonna be productive if he can come back from the knee injury, which I fully expect him to do.
I like Saine too. Dude's got more size and speed than Green, iirc, but he's a little more raw. Or was at the beginning of the season. He's a little more of a project, but he's gonna be down on the depth chart too. Tons of upside. He runs a 4.3 doesn't he? Something incredibly fast, and he's a big RB too. Another pass catching AND third down pass pro specialist. These guys are custom fit for our offense much moreso than the Grants, Lumpkins and Brandon Jacksons of the world.
