How long has it been since this team has had a 60 plus yard run? Does it go back to the ahman green era?

Brandon Jackson had a 71 yarder in 2010.

Ryan Grant had rushes of 62, 66, 57, 62, and 56 from 2007 through 2009.

That takes us back to the Ahman Green era.

Having a realistic threat that we CAN have a RB do that has to help the offense a lot. They can't just pin their ears back and rush AR, thinking we don't have a running threat.

Just look what Monty does for the team going forward. Lacy loses most of any bargaining power he might have had. If Monty was just a return man and WR we would probably end up having to overpay to keep Lacy or go into the offseason with maybe one RB in Michael. We can go into the offseason with Monty, Michael, Crockett and Jackson. And he can also fill a spot in the WR depth chart also, so we can keep an extra WR for development, or use the position for an Extra TE or Lineman if we need.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Thinking on all the tools Montgomery brings to the table, I now know where Christian McCaffrey learned to be so versatile.

I'd love to have Lacy back next year if we can structure a reasonable contract. Would be fun to roll with a backfield of Lacy, Montgomery, and Ripkowski (Michael too if he's fine with a similar contract to what he's been on; not a bad number 3).

Monty is "lightning" to Eddie Lacy's thunder.

Mike HATES fast RBs. He wants FBs like Eddie at the position. A guy like Monty makes it harder not to run fundamental WCO type "Roger Craig" type screens and traps, which Mike also hates.
