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)
