What about Ron Dayne?

[ublinkwescore]

ESPN has reported that with the Giants acquiring Dorsey Levens, Ron Dayne could be on his way out - I find Ron Dayne more appealing then Olandis Gary for a backup to Travis Henry - what about you guys?

[Brian H]

Sorry I dont play running back......

[Tatonka]

i wonder why we didnt look at levens...

[Stewie]

My guess is we didn't look at Levens because we don't want a pass catching type back to back up Henry. Maybe we're looking for a tough runner, and maybe Dayne just needs a change of scenery. I'd say bring him in for a looksee...

[Brian H]

Were actually looking more at youth than experience and Levens is getting up there in age......

[ublinkwescore]

I'd take Dayne over Gary any day - Dayne can pound the ball a la Travis Henry, and Gary just had to run behind a perrenially good O line.

My only concern would be - would Dayne be a locker room cancer - and I think he very well could be.

[Brian H]

I think he was just unhappy due to playing time thats all .Henry would be more than happy to give him the ball more than he got in NY......

[THATHURMANATOR]

You guys would be surprised about Dayne. Just because he is big doesn't mean he is a tough runner. He seems to go down with the first hit every time and rarely breaks tackles.

[Tatonka]

dayne is ANYTHING but a tough runner.. he WAS a tough runner in college.. he is a pussy in the pro's...

again.. i hate the "locker room cancer" / "attitude problem" reference.. every player in the nfl *****es.. they are all rich whiners the majority of the time when things dont go their way..

moulds has done it... henry did it from time to time last year..

no nfl player is a perfect person..

dayne got pissed about playing time.. they took him in the first round and he never really got his shot to start.. but at the same time.. he cant outperform tiki.. so who's fault is it really?

Dayne is a scrub!

Do you watch football? Dayne is an underachiever who hasn't even averaged 4 yds a carry in any of his NFL seasons.

Can anyone say Ki-Jana Carter?

Bottom line, Dayne is a scrub.

Gare would be much better, and he's not a whiner like Dayne.

[simpletask400]

Gary not Gare.

[Earthquake Enyart]

I agree. Gary is faster, catches better and runs harder than Dayne.

Dayne runs like Rashan Salaam, straight up giveing D's a chance to really hammer him.

[Brian H]

WOW I didnt know EE had some football talk in him !

[HenryRules]

I'd prefer Gary, but if we end up missing out on him, I wouldn't mind having Dayne at all. He's definitely not starting-calibre, but I'd feel more confident in our RB depth if we had him back there.

[ublinkwescore]

I guess I haven't seen Dayne lately then.

I remember seeing him be pretty damn physical in his rookie year, I guess all the bumps and bruises must have got in his head.

Nevermind - I guess Gary would be better after all if it's true what you guys are saying.
