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

We're all in limbo right now as far as Buck's health is concerned. He took the hit on the lower knee/shin area and it did not respond to treatment. He flew to see Dr. Andrews (who is getting a ton of Philadelphia biz lately[Thome, Green, Buck, Wolf]) and they decided to wait a week and let him rehab it more. I'm no doctor nor did I stay at some dumbass hotel last night, but I've been hurt so many times it sounds like a scar tissue problem. I could be wrong, but if it was more they'd be doing more for it.

So I'm listening to WIP today and Gargano is saying that the Eagles will look at one of the extra Dolphins RBs along with a veteran WR from somewhere. I know WIP isn't the best source for info, but Tom Heckert is in Gargano's pocket. That's The Cuz's source.

The extra Dolphins RBs he's talking about are Lamar Gordon, Sammy Morris and Travis Minor.

I would like Gordon or Morris. I believe the Eagles had interest in Morris a few years back too.

There have also been rumors out there that Najeh Davenport or Tony Fisher could be had since GB is worried they won't be able to keep The Mad Pooper after this year.

Ideally I'd love to get Davenport, but he'd be a one-year rental. He's repped by Rosenhaus and they have visions of grandeur for him when he hits UFA.

Hard to say until cuts start coming in. There's options, but who really knows. Plus a lot hinges on Buckhalter either playing or not right now.

Simon, Simoneau for Davenport, Ferguson, 3rd rounder.

I'd kill for that trade.

If Buck can't go, it's Dorsey Levens time.

I just threw up in my mouth. Thanks a lot, dickhead.

I really hate the Rams. If those fargers knew how to tackle Tapeh would be healthy.

Then he'd be the FB and Ritchie wouldn't have been re-signed...

Ritchie would have been resigned and Buck would be home smoking. Also, giant Ants from Neptune would be at war with the Space Marines/Atlanta Falcons.

Really? Wow.

I mean, I always thought Neptune only had normal-sized ants.

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.

Dorsey won't be here this year. God isn't that cruel, trust me.

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.

Mad Pooper = Najeh Davenport

MURP · August 16, 2005, 04:36:21 PM

Mad Pooper= Najeh Davenport
