Eddie Lacy and Christine Michael as the one-two with Ty Montgomery being the 3rd down back and filling in when the other two are injured.

Now you know, now make it happen.

A healthy, in shape Eddie Lacy I still feel is a great asset to have so I'd prefer that hypothetical.

Who cares, we don't really incorporate running into our offense. It's not actually part of the game plan. We just run here and there for a change of pace if the passing game stalls or if we have good success with a few runs early. Any significant investment in a RB would probably be a waste

If we are going for it, I'd rather have lacy, Michael and Monty if we need him. We will also be getting some back from IR. the question is, how much is Lacy going to cost and if we sign him how much does that limit our ability to improve the defense.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

We try a few runs early and if they don't work great we are pretty much done running most of the game. It's not like i'm saying our offense always sucks because of it because most of the time the offense is good it's just that running the ball really is not a big part of McCarthy's offense.

and calling Starks the top back up is kind of inaccurate considering how badly he sucked he would have been our #3 at the end of the year even if he was fully healthy. Also McCarthy confirmed throughout the season and today that Montgomery is a RB so the WR-RB thing just doesn't fly, dude's a RB.

BTW, Packers even traded for a RB they were so decimated at the position, but hey, again, do not LET FACTS get in the way of that label train! Choo-Choooooooooo!

PS, probably hard to run the ball with a bunch of 4th (at best) string RB's when your defense is giving up 24.2 points a game. But hey, forget facts!!

(on serious note, we could have Barry Sanders and I bet he'd only get 12-15 carries a damn game)

beast (7m) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (7m) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (10h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (10h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (12h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (13h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (13h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (14h) : Thank you

wpr (14h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (14h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (14h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (14h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (14h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (14h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (14h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (15h) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (15h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (15h) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : what's so funny?
