Oh, cmon man let's get real here.

That's the first logical thing you've posted in this thread.  Maybe you should stop posting today while you're on a roll.

Backup runningbacks get lots of touchdowns in your imagination.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

Dorsey got 4 TDs last year, you don't think a player like Gordon could get 2 more than that?
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.

I think they planned on using him a ton this season running the ball.

You thought wrong. Really, really wrong. The complete opposite of right.

The longest play, rushing or receiving, of Sammy Morris's NFL career... is 35 yards.

GAMEBREAKER!

We just need a RB with some juice and some youth.

See 77th pick in the 2005 NFL Draft.

You honestly think the Eagles just planned on using Buck for short yardage situations? I think they planned on using him a ton this season running the ball.

so much so, that they drafted an RB in the 3rd round.


QuoteGordon on this team I think could give us 470 yards rushing, 6 TDs, and one or two 30+ yard runs.

First you say we have to bring in an RB that can go for 800 yards and 9 TD's... now its 470 yards and 6 TD's.     Just about any RB can get you that if given the carries, and Dorsey could do it no problem if given the opportunity.

Lamar Gordon's longest NFL play, rushing or receiving, is 29 yards (his rookie year with St. Louis).  His longest play from scrimmage with the Dolphins?  A scorching 11 yards.

I'm going to nickname him "BIG PLAY" Lamar Gordon.

I want a RB that could do 700 and 9, but realistically it won't happen. It would be nice to bring in someone who has that potential in a 3 back rotation like Davenport. He is the name that I want.

Not true.  In 1997 he ran for 1435 yards and totaled 12 TD's.  Hypothetically, he can repeat that performance right?  Doesn't mean he will.  Why?  Because it was almost a decade ago.  Similar situation with Buck.  Not that he's a decade older but trying to have the same production on what's now to two busted knees... you can't just expect that not to hamper a guy's production.  If we were talking about him breaking his hands or forearm or something, then I maybe I can see where you're coming from.  But this guy's knees are SHOT.  Plain and simple.  He's NEVER gonna get that type of production again.  Well, at least untill Dorsey puts up 1500 more yards.

Oh, cmon man let's get real here. If Buckhalter stays on the field, him repeating those numbers are a lock. 2003 is not the "same thing" as 1997. One is 7/8 years ago and the other is 2 years ago. It's much easier to shake off an injury year and come back and play great than it is to shake off veteran rust.

I said I wasn't going to say anything more, but holy shtein...this is actually dumber than the last post I responded to.  :o

Dorsey Levens has had a running play of 45 yards or more in each of the last 2 seasons he played for the Eagles.

yeah, and it would be nice to have Walter Payton in his prime.  no shtein.

im pretty sure all of us would take Davenport over the rest.   obviously.
