RB Situation

[Sgt PSN]

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeet, I bet you Dorsey's been calling Reid once a week since Buck hurt himself.

Listen fellas, this issue isn't about Buckhalter. Buckhalter is gone for the season, he is done. Now I am only using Buckhalter HYPOTHETICALLY. You can assume he will be healthy when you are talking hypothetically. We need a back that we can bring in, that would give us the same production Buckhalter would give us if he was healthy. Do you understand what I am trying to say?

If you can't understand that still then the only left thing I can say is. We need a RB who can get 800 yards and 9 TDs, that can break a big run in a 3 back rotation.

Is that what you envisioned coming out of Buckhalter this year? Are you smoking crack now too? Crack smoker.

Dude, we didn't have anybody to get 800 yards and 9 TD's on the roster even before Buckhalter got hurt.  If we did, you can bet your ass that it was Westbrook... not Buck.

But, since we're talking HYPOTHETICALLY, I'm gonna assume that Levens is gonna come in here and run for 1500 yards and 14 TD's.  How's that?  Hypothetically, of course.

Why do we need to replace Bucky's hypothetical big-play production?  It's quite possible, in fact probable, that as the season goes on, Moats will see more and more of the ball, and I believe he can break a big run or two.

yet Buckhalter never had more than 586 rushing yards in a season.

No way dude. Hypothetically Moats is slow and fat in actual regular season games.

Hypothetically speaking I could stab you all in the face with a pen and then snack on your delicious brains. But instead I'll just do this:

Hypothetically, I'm revolted by that pic and just the thought of Jessica's ass in my hands is utterly disgusting.










Hypothetically.

You can't assume that because he hasn't done that, I don't think ever. Buckhalter would've matched his 2003 numbers this year if he was healthy. What would've stopped him? The 800 was a typo by the way I meant 700, but I think a healthy Buck would've given us something like 670 rushing yards and 8 TDs. With 2 or 3 30+ yard runs. I have no reason not to believe it. He looked great in camp. He showed no signs or lingering from the injury. The only issue with Buck is staying on the field. The previous injuries don't hurt his game. If they did, then how did he bounce back in 03 from a torn ACL?

Here's the thing.  Buck hasn't given the Eagles a single yard or td since 2003.  He wasn't on the field last year.  So how can the Eagles need to replace his production if he wasn't there to produce?  They brought in Levens last year to replace Buck and he did a fine job.  So if anything, we need to replace Dorsey's production.  And they can do that by bringing back........guess who?.........Dorsey Levens.

Holy shtein. My brain is going to explode if I keep readin this crap. Past injuries didn't effect him? 670 yards and 8 TDs? He never even topped 600 before. And his injured knee is hurt in the EXACT SAME PLACE IT WAS LAST YEAR! That means, for those too cracked out to understand, that his past injuries have indeed effected him. Put down the pipe and call your sponsor. Time to get back on the wagon. Dink.

This thread makes me laugh. 

[WEST is GOD]

I don't even really care about Buck, I just want a big-play threat a RB. It just so happens I think Buck would've given us that. Rjs, I understand your frustration, but with the Eagles supposedly adding a bunch of new running plays to the play book, combined with me thinking they will run more this year than last year, I think 670 and 8 TDs, it obtainable. If you don't agree, then fine, but I am extremely high on the guy's ability.

So forgetting about Buck for a sec, Sarg, I don't think Dorsey gives us enough. Westbrook can get dinged up as well. If he goes down, I don't like Levens being the guy. We need one more big-play threat in there. Moats is only a rookie, he has the potential, but we need a sure thing in there right now. Dorsey Levens doesn't have enough big play ability for my liking. By big play I mean breaking long runs. Dorsey is a guy who you bring in on short yardage situations and he'll give you a first down. We need more than that. We need dual threats at RB to break big runs. Especially a guy who is good between the tackles.

Wrong again.

In 1997 he rushed for 1435 yards and 7 touchdowns along with 370 receiving yards and 5 td's giving him a grand total of 1805 yards and 12 td's.
