Well let's hope we aren't in the position to draft him. I think he'll be a top ten pick for sure.
I do not want to give up a high pick in 08 unless Green is out of picture. We need (as of today) a free safety and LT. That takes care of 1st and third picks in which ever order. Again based on right now Jacoby looks good at #2 WR and Kubes is still high on Walter. I can see us drafting a center in 4th or 5th. I am looking at Reggie Bush speed in 5th or lower and for only a few plays a game.
It would probably be better if we reserved what we need until after the season. You never know who will step up and get the job done, regardless of how obvious it looks right now. Players come out of nowhere every year.
Ok you wait. Some of want to talk about what ifs and maybes, at least until real football begins.
It is just for fun. Smiley face goes here.its true in NCAA players can have a break out season at any time
I read about this guy earlier today, but indications are he will go pretty high in draft.
agreed...to me a so-called "scatback" is a guy more like Reggie Bush or Dave Meggett. Walker is just a smallish 3rd down back (if he even makes a roster in the NFL) in the mold of Mewelde Moore or Dom Davis
Yeah, I agree with that. Walker reminds me a lo of what they initially wanted DD to be. Your definition of scat back, though, hasn't really been prevalent in the NFL for a while. The NFL refuses to recognize RB as a scat back, even though he's the closest thing, IMO. I can't think of any others in the NFL. Trends go round and round, though, so who knows?
Norwood is a legit every down back and I wouldn't characterize him as a player who only has outside speed....I've been watching him since his days at Miss St. He is about 5'11" and 215ish and can run inside the tackles. Wolfe is about 180 lbs soaking wet
Maybe we just have different definitions on what a scat back is...
We saw it last year. Besides Green we have the same backfield as last year (and Walker, if he can make the team).
lets hope with green,dayne, and lundy this year our run game does great so we dont need more ppl
What do you think they're going to do with Gado? I think Gado will make the team, personally, if only because he has that connection with coach Sherman.
Norwood is on mthe smaller side?? Most full-time RBs in the NFL are under 6' and go between about 210-220 lbs. Norwood is at the upper end of that range.
Norwood is pretty close to 6' tall too...I saw him up close in College...he isn't a small back at all. If you want your back 240 he may be....but he is pretty much a prototype back for the most part. He was pretty thin in College...that's where he gets his size rap...but he isn't a college kid anymore.Norwood is on mthe smaller side?? Most full-time RBs in the NFL are under 6' and go between about 210-220 lbs. Norwood is at the upper end of that range.
They did take a look at Quentin Griffin, who fits that mold. Not sure how fast he is after his injury(ies?).
Norwood-5'11 204
Hmm...I see a pattern developing here.
dont get me wrong i love gado as well, i mean i love these young rb's we have i would not mind if gado or lundy played alot i dont care which one! out of the two which one has a better chance to play more here?
Michael Turner- 5'11 237 UFA after this season and will command (most likely) big money.
i was so surprised no one tried to get him this year though he is good
I think people tried. I just don't think they offered up enough.
I like Turner. I was glad the titans didn't get him.But how old is he? 25, 26. If we we were going to get him I wish it would have been this year. But it would have been to expensive for us.
Denver was 8th in the NFL in rushing last year. That hardly is poor performance. Factor in the introduction of a rookie QB meaning teams could play for the run more and the fact remains Denver can flat out run the ball.
None of them are starter material.
Factor in the complete ineptitude of their starter for at least half the season, losing their offensive coordinator and the insertion of a rookie quarterback, and you have offensive struggles.
