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

[xtacy1238]

I believe the Birds should see how the compition between Mahe and Perry shakes out. Then when cuts come see if anything better shakes lose. And if not Westbrook, Moats, Mahe. And Dorsey on Retainer is fine with me.

I like Dorsey, but he's 35.  Isn't there any other option but that?  Let's trade Simon!!

I wouldn't be for rolling Simon into deal for just a running back. At most, the guy would only get 50% of the workload. If another team would be willing to package an OK runningback and some picks, or other players, I'd be fine with it. I'd rather use Simon for trade bait in a better position. WR, Fullback, TE, something like that. At most it'll be a three-headed monster, and Simon is a (would-be) starter.


Also, it's probably high time to take C-Buck of the CF banner. Soon it'll be Akers and Mahe alone up there.

I am pleasantly pleased (in some ways) with Buck going down.  I've always been a Perry fan and he was battling Mahe to make the roster.  Now, if the Birds don't bring in Dorsey for help, then they'd stick with Westy, Moats, Perry, Mahe.

If only we could.  His demands are too high for anyone to sign him.  Twice the Eagles had deals on the table, twice they fell apart because Simon thinks he's some kind of super star.

So am I. Buckhalter fans have been making me throw up in my mouth for years.

[bluto]

I think Perrys size and strength should give him a shot of making the 53 man.

Perry is a scat back too...

[Diomedes]

At least the waiting for the inevitable is over.  Scrub those letters off the No. 28 jerseys and let's move on.

Amen.

what a stupid thing to say.  perry is more injury prone than Buck, i'll be surprised if he can even make the team.

Buckhalter, when healthy, was a good running back and a good compliment to Westbrook

[PhillyPhanInDC]

The Dolphins site has Sammy Morris listed at 6'0" and 218lbs.....and list him as a FB   .

They have Gordon listed at 6'1" and 223. Seems a little light for his size. Considering Ricky in his withered state is 5'10" and 226.

[Mad-Lad]

Lamar Gordon's career has been marred with injury too, hasn't it?  The Fins traded a 3rd (i think) for him and he barely played for them.  Screw that.

He's just a schmoe on the street now.  A schmoe who will be a cripple by the time he's 40, with nothing to show for it.

[rjs246]

Why can't people let go of this?

Buck has been done for over a year now. And even when he was healthy, which was rarely, he was so one-dimensional that the coaches didn't trust him to block or run the correct pass patterns. Wah wah wah, Buckhalter's injured. Jesus, stop living in 2001.

so what?  that wasn't my point.  rjs made comments about Buckhalter's fans making him throw up or whatever, implying that Buckhalter was never a good back.  he's wrong.
