I want to know what fan at 6:34PM finally challenged the media...

[HHURRICANE]

On Sirrius tonight one of our fans intelligently made the argument after A-train was dismissed as a "has-been" that getting 990 yards wouldn't be that challenging and I finally think the light bulb registered with Blitz crew!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish I had been listening to that.

There was a pause and even though there wasn't a direct response you knew what they were thinking. I was hoping he was a zoner!!

What was said?

I've been saying that it's not like Willis averaged well over 4.0 YPC, caught the ball like a WR, blocked like a lineman, or was a TD scoring machine. Good job to whoever called in and told it like it was.

And the sad part....A-train was worse and we're still all celebrating that Willis is gone and there is no viable replacement.

I agree Willis going was the right thing for the organization. What I don't agree with is we have NO replacement for him. The only plan/recourse we have right now is hoping a Peterson or Lynch is available when we pick. That's not a good strategy to hope that things fall that way.

I'm still hopeful that the A-train and his 3.1 YPC over the past 4 seasons is NOT our starting HB come September.

A-train will not be the strating rb come Sept.

It wont matter because we will be using a two back system. Much like our starting DT's don't matter.

So they say, but if they take a back at #12 you can guarantee that guy will get the majority of the carries.

You don't take Lynch at 12 and give him 10-12 carries a game and a-train the other half.

I didn't know such rules existed.

It's the rule called, "you don't dump millions into an early draft pick and not use him "

It's the rule called, "you don't dump millions into an early draft pick and not use him "

Julius Jones was an early draft pick and he rarely gets more than 15 - 17.

Jones - Drew was drafted early and he gets even fewer.

Addai was drafted in the first round and he rarely breaks 15.

Cedric Benson was drafted earlier than all of them and rarely gets any.

Maroney was an early pick and got less than Jones.


Again, where are these rules of yours. Marv's rules are "what ever it takes to win"

Any of those guys top-12 ? Benson but he was hurt and will get the load this year.
