Who Is The Back-Up RB If Buck Isn't Healthy?

I want to see more Bruce Perry.

That might have been the gayest comment you've ever made.

Gayer than naked limbo? I think not.

I want to see more Bruce Perry.

I do too, but we already know he can't stay healthy.  From what I saw on Monday he looked pretty solid.

[Sgt PSN]

Either Dorsey or another late cut we pick up.

I'm fine with Dorsey coming back again if need be.  More so than Eddie George.  And not because George is beat up but just because he's so unfamiliar with the offense.  It's too late in the game at this point to bring someone in who needs to learn the offense.  Had it been prior to training camp then it would be a different story.  But at this point gimme someone who's played in the WCO.

Not quite sure why the hate for Dorsey is going on over here, but he's done the job for us every time we needed him. He was big in the playoffs for us last year as well.

I think he meant Luke Perry- sideburns and all.

I hope Perry is able to handle the load and will be interested in seeing him in the second preseason game.  I would have no problem with a Westbrook, Moats, Perry backfield if Buck can't come back.  Of course, I'm still hoping Buck comes back.

I agree, he has done nothing but play VERY well for the Eagles.  I think with Moats and Westy, Levens would be the perfect guy to bring in for both $$$$$ reasons, and flat out production in this offense.  He showed last year that he can run well between the tackles for us as well.

I don't think it is hate, everybody is probably just wondering when he is not going to be effective.  I wouldn't mind them bringing him in if it were the last option, I'd prefer that they got someone that was a little younger and fresher.

At this point, I'd trust Levens to be more durable than Buckhalter.

[MURP]

I just see Levens as a guy who hasnt had to be in camp so he is always fresh, who knows the offense, who knows pass protection, who is a veteran,  and who has averaged well over 4ypc in the Eagles offense.   The guy has a lot of upside with those abilities.  Yes, I agree that at some point his career is done, but you also know that you are getting the positives mentioned above.  The Eagles dont ask their RB's to carry the ball 300+ times a year so I dont think he would wear down. 

[FreakisaKearseWord]

The Mad Pooper would be my first choice.   Between the other guys it doesnt really matter at this point.  And yeah, I would take Dorsey.   

Who is The Mad Pooper?

Monster, what about Dorsey's 4.6 (?) ypc average last year did you not like? He was extremely effective when called upon.

He's nothing compared to Davenport, really.

[WEST is GOD]

I don't care about Dorsey's effectiveness. I don't want effectiveness I want superiority. I'm not one of those people that just settles on someone who's productive. I want the best. Dorsey is not good enough for what I want at RB. He can't break the big runs, and can't take it to the house. That is what I want. Buckhalter brings that. Buckhalter will play this season and will have a very good year, and for all the injury doubters, they will be the first ones to be hanging of his testicles when he's getting in the end zone and breaking big runs.
