If not McGahee what about Larry Johnson in the 2nd round?

[jchild178]

i can see this guy as a good backup for TH...maybe not as high of a name as mcgahee but at least he has no injury worries...i dont believe

[JefftheBillsfan]

What is so wrong with Sammy Morris?

[HenryRules]

The coaching staff doesn't like Sammy Morris as an RB.

[The Spaz]

We need a "backup" running back. We already have a probowler and obviously he is our feature back! Go Bills!

[Earthquake Enyart]

Larry Johnson = Curtis Enis.

No thanks.

[Stewie]

Penn State players always seem to impact the NFL much less than their hype would suggest...

[Dozerdog]

JChild- What is up with the pressing need to waste a top pick on one of our strongest positions?


McGehee, Johnson.........


How's this- we use the first day of the draft to improve the team on the field, instead of guys who won't see the field.

[HenryRules]

If we go to a power running game, our backup is going to see plenty of time on the field. In a power running game, a solid backup RB is essential - the backup's gonna get 60-80 carries over the season (assuming a healthy starter) because the starter is going to need some rest.

[The Spaz]

Nobody gets 60-80 carries no matter what kind of running attack you use that's way to much. Maybe 40-45. Go Bills!

[HenryRules]

I was talking about over the course of the season ... the backup RB will get about 60-80 carries over the season (I editted the post to make it clearer).

And yes, 60-80 would be insane for a single game ... an average of anything around 25 for one player is too much if you ask me.

I say we need a speed back to counter Henry's power style, let him wear them down and then mid way through the third mix it up a little bit and make them cahse some dancing player around the field. I honestly wanna see how the Bills do this with only one current RB on the team who will play. That is of course TH, Morris is a ST player.
