Would you make a trade for Duckett

MURP · January 13, 2006, 02:02:36 PM

QuoteBig-Back Alert: Sources in Atlanta say the Falcons will listen to trade offers for double-wide running back T.J. Duckett. The 6-foot, 250-pound Duckett played poorly this season. He rushed for just 43 yards on 38 carries in the final five games.

In a heartbeat.

Diomedes · January 13, 2006, 02:05:29 PM

Yes, please. I'd trade away a 2nd rounder for him.

PoopyfaceMcGee · January 13, 2006, 02:05:41 PM

If he'd be OK with playing some fullback, yes. If not, no.

methdeez · January 13, 2006, 02:07:10 PM

Or as a fullback.

Feva · January 13, 2006, 02:07:51 PM

I'd throw a 3rd at the Falcons for him.

Diomedes · January 13, 2006, 02:09:05 PM

Westbrook and Duckett would be a formidable rushing combo.

MDS · January 13, 2006, 02:10:32 PM

Sure, but he'd be a lot better with someone not named Josh Perry as the fullback.

i agree with studdering rjs up there.

MadMarchHare · January 13, 2006, 02:15:43 PM

To get someone of similar worth (and gerth) in the draft would cost more than a 3rd. Go for it.

Doesn't duckett need to lose weight? Isn't he something like 240 to 260?

rjs246 · January 13, 2006, 02:29:25 PM

He wasn't as eefective this year, but I read a stat line from 2004 that said that he didn't register a single rush for negative yards. Not one. That's an "rjs has been screaming for a back who can do exactly this" stat if I've ever seen one.

SunMo · January 13, 2006, 02:31:31 PM

does it really matter if they have him? they'll throw on 3rd and 2 anyway. unless you believe that AR doesn't run the ball on short yardage situations because he doesn't have the appropriate back, not the other way around.

rjs246 · January 13, 2006, 02:33:08 PM

I don't know if AR is capable of learning from his mistakes or adapting his play calling. So far he hasn't shown it, but a back with the size and talent of a TJ Duckett would help this offense and if he doesn't see that he's a farging moron.
