i'd go with george.  downhill runner, doesn't lose (or gain) alot of yards.  but we need a short yardage specialist.

George is cooked, at least as a player.  I'd go with Dorsey, cause we're not expecting much play out of him, and he knows the system.
Anyone but Reid.

ice grillin you

The Eagles aren't looking for a back who can catch. They're looking for a change of pace back who can block and pound the ball between the tackles

they arent actively looking for a pass catcher...but believe whoever they bring in will be required to catch...it comes with the offense...one of the reasons dorsey always comes back other than knowing the offense is his ability to execute the screen perfectly
i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

igy gettin it done like warrick

im the board pharmacist....always one step above yous

I going with no one.  Let's see what Moats, Perry, Mahe have.  If the FO thinks they can't get the job done, then they'll bring someone else in and I think it will have to be someone who can pick up the offense quickly...a la Mr. Dorsey.

Gimme Dorsey.

I think that you can sign him up and it's solved.  You know what he brings.  He knows the offense to the tee... can get the short yeardage... knows all the blocking schemes... which most of these other guys would have to learn.  Like IGY said, he can still run the screen play well, which is always a plus with us.

As little as he may (or may not) have left in the tank... I'll bet it's more than what George has left.

I just think you open yourself up to mental mistakes with the other guys because they're thinking instead of playing.






We all know it's gonna be Levens anyway.  I'm sure Levens' cell phone has already rung with calls from AR.

ive loved what ive seen from moats but if we need insurance i wouldnt mind levens or george.

i know everyone thinks george is washed up but in a limited role he can help. plus he is a hometown boy and is a great leader...something we might need more with the TO fiasco.

I miss Tapeh. Oh well, more Moats/Perry.

The man. The myth. The legend.

I'm surprised Morris hasn't gotten more votes.

He knows the offense, not as well as Levens obviously, but those 3 years in Buffalo's WCO would make his transition much easier than some of those other backs.

He ran for 6 TDs and averaged 4 yards/attempt behind the worst line in the NFL.

He can catch, block, even play some FB...

And unlike Levens, he excels in special teams.  In fact, for those who have this unfounded resentment for the great Reno Mahe, that maybe the only way to extricate him from the roster...find a RB who beats him out on teams.
More Mahe please.

WEST is GOD

I want someone as good as Buck when healthy. We can't downgrade in a season where it's all or none. Dorsey can't break the big runs. We have no choice after God chose to be such a farging icehole to buck.
THIS SEASON IS OVER AND ANDY'S WORLD IS GRIDL

Offseason needs: 2 DEs, 1 DT, 1 OL, 2 LBs, 1 RB, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 KR.

Levens because hes already experienced and hopefully Moats gets enough reps to get a 3 back rotation going.

The Eagles got to the farging super bowl last year without him, are you serious? Downgrade from WHAT? From Buckhalter on the IR last year?  ::)

I'm with ya, Retard.

I'm the other guy who voted for Sammy Morris. Levens has experience with the offense, but I think he may be washed up.

Get Levens!

I thought I'd never see that around here again... ;)
