Travis Henry...

Since Travis Henry is not to happy in buffalo and will problably want to be traded next year, maybe we could pursue him since noone seems to be happy with our RB situation even though i like D. Davis !
 
isnt he injury prone?

if he is available to us.. he may be a nice pickup. Though I dont know that he will be any better than D.Davis.
 
Travis Henry will probably cost a 1st or 2nd to get him. He just doesnt seem right in the style of Football you guys play.

I think the Bills are going to want to get rid of his salary pretty bad with McGahee apparently going to be there awhile. 4th rounder is about what Id expect.
 
think travis henry is some version of Free Agent after the season, but i think that list includes the following names

shaun Alexander
E. james
rudi johnson
Lamont jordan

and a pretty good year at the top of the draft for Rbs
Cadillac, Benson among others

If the texans are not happy there are more options to do something about the running game than in most years.
 
shaun alexander baby :).. seattle isnt gonna let him go though.

i dont really want E. james. Johnson is like D. Davis. Jordan.. eh.. ill stick with DD.

Seattle has to re-sign Hasselback also, so there is a chance that Alexander may be gone.
 
I think hasselback will stay though.. he is the man in Seattle. they will franchise tag Alexander.

I cant really think of any other place Hasselback can go and be "the franchise QB"

They have been putting the franchise tag on Walter Jones(LT) every year, so they have some huge decisions to make.
 
I just really dont see them getting rid of Alexander... he wins the games for them. To my knowledge they have noone behind Hasselback that could take over.. as for Walter Jones.. he is in his 8th year.. still has about another 4 years.. but Alexander and Hasselback are in their 5th and 6th year. I think keeping them two and letting jones go if necessary, would be the better move for their future. They dont want to start rebuilding so soon after they finally start making playoff runs
 
Personally i think D. Davis will get back to his old form and be fine, i doubt we drafta a RB, and dont think we really need one, i still believe in Davis
 
Their offseason will be interesting to say the least. I think you have to keep your franchise LT though.
 
I think that D.Davis is better than all the guys available.. except Shaun Alexander.. and I dont think we will be able to get him... not without paying more than we want too.
 
DeAngilo Williams actually looks pretty good to me, and he plays in Conf USA so he would be a later round draft pick but looks ver solid !

Just a bad year for Davis i expect him to play solid for years to come,,,and look for him to have a good second half of the season. He was starting to pick it up in Denver !

If you do draft one makes sure its ROnnie Brown. He sure does look like a good runner! :jumpbanan

I would love him or Cadillac and the more I read of Brown, the more I want him...

Yeah, he will be solid for years to come...a soild 3rd down back and Punt/Kick returner
 
Yeah well whatever ya think,,,solid 3rd down back huh,,,isnt he the one that couldnt get 1 yard in denver ?!?!?! Well in my opinion he has to much skill to be just a 3rd down back or kick returner,, every back has a bad year i bet ya werent saying this about him last year when he was having back to back 100 yrd games !

Davis = Kevin Faulk. I never said last year that Davis was a franchise back. Never, because I saw his limitations: Lack of breakaway speed and lack of durability.

I am really not trying to point anything out because sometimes there were things out of his control but an intresting note: Davis has had 5 multi-TD games, we are 1-4 when he was two TDs in a game with the one win coming against the Falcons. Also, Davis has scored in 3 games this year, we have lost all 3.
 
yeah it means when our passings no good in the red zone that our running game has to pick up the slack ! I think thats a useless stat a running touch down is no different than a passing touchdown both worth 6

Put it this way.. while Davis has not proven to be a better back than Edge.. I would rather have Davis on my team.

Have you seen Edge this year??? He has looked great!!!

I dont trust edge's personality. I think he could possibly be a lockerroom cancer.

I dont remember him ever having a problem with a teammate in Indy...

His long run is still at 10 yards this year. On 121 carries.

Look at the bright side: Davis' yard per carry average was 2.8 going into the Denver game and is now a whopping *drum roll* 3.0...

What has he ever done to make you not trust his personality or think he could be a locker room cancer? Is it because he used to have the Ricky Williams dreadlocks? I cannot believe anyone would rather have Davis than James, just MHO.

How about when James skips camp and trains by himself down in Miami. There is something to be said for training with your teammates, instead of hanging out in Miami with your college buddies.

Our longest rush this year is 16 yards and that was by David Carr. Maybe we should blame our O-line for our lack of big gains, rather than our backs.
 
I cant believe just cause davis has had waht 4 bad games, yall have given up on him AMAZING

Just because I think Edgerrin James is better than Davis doesn't mean I have "given up on him" although I do not think Davis has what it takes to be a starting RB in the NFL.

At least he trains unlike some others in the NFL. I don't see how that would make him a cancer in the locker room, I have never heard any of his teammates talk bad about him.

You can never have enough quality RB's. Look at Minnesota, they have 4 on thier roster that could start for alot of teams and all have had significant time because of injuries.
 
Id rather get me one really good, big RB that doesnt hardly ever get injured.

I love DD.. I think he COULD be our every down back (when he isnt injured).. but that is the rub.. he keeps getting injured.. i just dont know that he can handle the beating that comes with being the RB in our system.

Maybe we could use a mix of cloning and get a new Earl Campbell. :) A guy like him in our offense would be scary.

If it came down to signing someone to a long term contract I'd go with Davis over Edge, since he is getting older as far as NFL years go RB's just don't handle the mileage like WR's or QB's if you notice there are no 40 yr old RB's playing in the NFL. :twocents:

Staying healthy is why every one is saying Davis is some version committee/3rd down back. He always has something, does not look like he can the pounding week in week out.

For whoever said the 10 yard thing is on the OL, I disagree. The first 5 to 7 yards is what an OL can get you just by blocking. After that its primarily on the talents of the RB. The good RBs beat DBs and LBs in space, by running through, around, or by the defender.
 
I can' believe all the Hollings support over Davis considering Hollings hasn't done much by even a back ups standards. I would like to see the remaining of the season for Davis before I write him off. His receiving yards do indicate he is a 3rd down back though.
 
We definitely need a durable, every down, every week, productive, consistent back....but who doesn't. IMO, we need to draft a back....Cadillac Williams or Cedric Benson would be fantastic! Who knows if those guys will be around though for when we go to pick. I seriously think we are an HB away from being considered a playoff team year after year.
 
Cedric is a big bang it in there back and all, but I think he is a bit slow for the NFL. You can get away with being a tad slow in college, but the NFL will make him look like he is running with hip boots on IMO.

Yeah but maybe its just Minnesotas big GOOD offensive line that makes it seem like all their running backs are good !!! I mean look at portis this year he is a good back ,,,but only as good as the guys blocking for him !
 
Benson is a lot faster this season. He lost some weight and it shows. I think he would be a good addition to the team.
 
Yeah i like Benson, and really still like Davis ! But a lot of people say Benson will not be a good addition because he basically has the same features as Davis ! I think Benson is a little faster though,,,just hope we wont have another Ricky williams on our hands :hmmm:
