QuoteBig-Back Alert: Sources in Atlanta say the Falcons will listen to trade offers for double-wide running back T.J. Duckett. The 6-foot, 250-pound Duckett played poorly this season. He rushed for just 43 yards on 38 carries in the final five games.
from philly daily news
In a heartbeat.
Yes, please. I'd trade away a 2nd rounder for him.
If he'd be OK with playing some fullback, yes. If not, no.
Or as a fullback.
I'd throw a 3rd at the Falcons for him.
Westbrook and Duckett would be a formidable rushing combo.
Sure, but he'd be a lot better with someone not named Josh Perry as the fullback.

i agree with studdering rjs up there.
To get someone of similar worth (and gerth) in the draft would cost more than a 3rd. Go for it.

:-D
Doesn't duckett need to lose weight? Isn't he something like 240 to 260?
He wasn't as eefective this year, but I read a stat line from 2004 that said that he didn't register a single rush for negative yards. Not one. That's an "rjs has been screaming for a back who can do exactly this" stat if I've ever seen one.
does it really matter if they have him? they'll throw on 3rd and 2 anyway. unless you believe that AR doesn't run the ball on short yardage situations because he doesn't have the appropriate back, not the other way around.
I don't know if AR is capable of learning from his mistakes or adapting his play calling. So far he hasn't shown it, but a back with the size and talent of a TJ Duckett would help this offense and if he doesn't see that he's a farging moron.
i don't know what kind of reciever Duckett is, but that will be a factor in their decision, i'm sure. that's one reason why Duce might be a good fit. he could be the "big back" they need but he also has the ball recieving skills that AR likes.
andy's mustache twin in seattle needs to have a talk with him & explain how having the nfl's leading rusher is a good thing.
Duce, he might come back? I love Duce, don't get me wrong...but it always seemed as though he didn't have the power to burst through the defender's wall. Duckett can plow right through the defenders like a dead hooker's ass.

i'm not saying Duce might come back, but I would think his contract and injuries over the past 2 years would make him likely to be cut. as for being a power runner, that was one of Duce's best qualities. he was never a guy to run away from a defense, but he ran hard with a lot of power.

Duckett >>> Duce as a runner
Duce >>>>>>>>>> Duckett as a receiver
But Duckett is young and would fill a need. I'd love to have both, frankly, but given my druthers, I'd take Duckett in spite of my Duce hearting.
Ideal backfield situation for rjs...
Westbrook
Duckett
Duce
Moats
Perry (kickreturner)
all of them running behind their 1st round draft pick, Winston Justice!

if you line up with ducket in the backfield on 3rd and 1, passing would be more effective. a move like that could work both ways.

Uh...pre or post rigomortis? :puke
Let's trade for all the runningbacks in the world. They'll have a great time running behind the two linemen we have.
Whatever it takes to force Reid to actually run the ball.
I am all about paying way too much for Duckett, just so he would come here and be our number 2 and because we can afford it.
My thoughts exactly.
How much will Duckett really demand? The draft pick's not such a big deal, what's the money gonna be?
I'd offer a 3rd for him. That's about it. They probably wouldn't trade him to an NFC rival.

Duckett owes me after I traveled to East Lansing to watch him run all over PSU in 1999.

Throw in Patrick Kerney.

We better have a FA DE/DT and OLB on the squad by then. Otherwise... I want no parts of him.
I'd trade for him with a quickness.
Sold. But, again, there are only so many backs Reid is going to dress on game day.
So Eskin is again reporting the Eagles are interested in Duckett. I'd be willing to part with either a 3rd or 4th for him, aside from White there aren't any big backs in this draft with his talent. He's almost a perfect fit for our big back need.
Like I mentioned in the EMB thread, as much as I would trade for him would he be receptive to coming here? He is bitching about his carries in ATL and they run a lot more than the Eagles do. So how would he react to being the 3rd back in a rotation and have to cover kicks?
I'd go with a fourth. I think in this draft, their is too much value in the thrid round. There are a lot of decent big backs in the draft that will be around on the second day. Besides, whoever it is won't get more than about ten touches a game. I' be pretty stoked if they brought in Duckett with a fourth....but they will probably wait for him to be cut or something...then wait for his prices to drop.... then watch when he signs elsewhere for a reasonable price.

He would not be the 3rd option if brought in. He would be a definite #2.

I can't imagine him not being the 2nd option. If they could get him for a 4th or 5th they should do it.
Duckett would complement Westbrook perfectly.
Frankly, if Duckett was brought in he should immediately become the starter. Give him 12-16 carries a game and give Westbrook 7-11 carries and whatever passes he catches. And yes, I'm basically saying F Moats. Use him once Westbrook gets hurt.
Word, except give them each a couple more than that.

Mike Bell and Gerald Riggs are pretty good...I'd prefer Bell over White because he'd take a 4th rounder and be used the same amount.

Given my fantasy word druthers they'd each get more carries, too, but I didn't want to get crucified for suggesting that Westbrook shouldn't start only to further infuriate the masses by throwing out a number of carries that will never ever happen.
It would be so hard to have them both on the field at the same time. Yeah, this isn't going to work, just forget the whole thing.

That will never happen, they won't give up 4th rd pick for Moulds why would they do it for an un-proven barely tested Ffatt-Back? Sure he has upside possibility, (I like him as a player) but you know the FO would never do that. They'll probably just get beef-roids for Parry and call him poor man's Duckett, and line him up next to our poor man's Faulk.
Well, Lendale White is hurtin and wouldn't even run a 40 at the USC pro day. He barely threw up 15 on the bench. So...he may drop.

i read that too, and the fact that no one has a 40 time on him makes me not love him as much. apparently he's really soft right now, and knowing that he's the only "big" back in the top of the draft, he's just cruising by like an idiot without trying to prove anything, because he feels like he doesn't have to. i'm falling off the lendale bandwagon. get duckett and then grab bunkley in the draft.

Because Moulds is ancient and wants out of Buffalo. Duckett is only 25 and hasn't caused the sort of 'get me out of here now' animosity that Moulds has. A 3rd or 4th would be a steal for Duckett if he'd be willing to be part of the 3 headed monster and he'd sign a new deal.
Two headed monster. Moats needs to sit his ass on the bench or return kicks until Westbrook gets hurt again.
