Didn't Hawk basically ruin this guy's career? Once a running back has a major injury with knees or lower legs, it is very difficult for them to come back the same.

That said, I'd bring him in because I'm really tired of trying to find something to root for with Tiny nuts Grant. That guy is just uninspiring, as is knowing he has the contractual potential to get $20M.

Larry Johnson was the best RB, and best Fantasy back EVER. Thats all fantasy magazines talked about. Its incredible to me how much RB's can fall off and never return the same. And yeah, I think it was the Hawk tackle that did him in. Same thing happend to Tomlinson.

I hate change for the sake of change. LJ's been doing nothing with a similarly terrible O Line... A change of scenery might help him and he might kick Grant and Green into gear, but I doubt it. To me, he's too high-maintenance, high-cost, and high-risk for what he's worth. He's an old, underperforming RB with injuries that has a hard time keeping his big mouth shut. I'm of the opinion that we need none of these qualities in a RB.

MM needs to make Grant a ridiculous-looking collar that prevents him from lowering his head in practice, and Green needs to start next week.

Speaking of Grant, my friend and I whom is a Giants fan was defending Grant that he likes him alot because he drives into people and tries to get the extra yard, then as if on cue, grant is running trying to bounce it outside and when i think it was number 21 or 31 of Tampa is coming at him (Dude was SMALLER than him) Grant runs horizontal and goes out of bounds, i then turned to my friend and his eyes were about to pop out of his head on how amazed he was, i told him " yep, get used to it, cuz i am"....needless to say Grant was never mentioned again, haha wow, horrible

That play was awful, but to Grant's credit, he normally hits the tackler. I couldn't believe it either. 2 yards on that run was unacceptable.

Hmmm no thanks to this gent.. he has had an attitude from day one in this league and his short lived success only hyped that nonsense.

If you don't like Grant.. you won't like current Johnson.. same type of back.

However, maybe he is what this team needs, two weeks on the club he would have the majority of the locker room pissed off enough that maybe they would take it out on the competition. 😉

I think you're way off on Grant and Johnson being the same kind of back. Unless you're saying that in '07 Grant was running angry. :)

I think Johnson would be good only for the second half of the season. That is, assuming he wants to prove that the Chiefs were wrong about him.

A pissed off Larry Johnson is better than any Grant.

LJ is not the answer.

I just want to see anyone other than Grant running the ball. 🙂
Green.
Jackson.
Johnson.

I don't really care anymore.
