It doesn't all have to be *good*, thankfully. Otherwise, you'd probably be banned from this section of

if i call you an assbag, will you put together a collection of my greatest hits?

Stephen Davis is done, that would be a worthless move.

Duckett would be better, at least they'd have a young backfield moving forward, i'm sick of these one-year rent-a-players that have to learn the offense, and can only play if their specific package is in.

I would think that if they actually cared about goalline situations, they would have tried to add one of the relatively many available good FB's during the off-season... but they showed no interest in the likes of Mack Strong and Tony Richardson. Now, it's rumored they are looking in to adding a no-kneed old "big" back to run behind Parry or Tapeh?

Yuck.

getting davis on a 1 year rental would be better than not getting a big back at all...he'd be decent for 5-7 carries per game, including short yardage/goal line of course.

Stephen Davis or Thomas Tapeh... hmmm... let me think for a minute...

get used to it in Reids system. when a fulllback comes in, its just for that reason. if Davis does have injury woes but can still do the job, thats all Reid cares about, "Davis....he did a good job in there..times yours"

SunMo · April 11, 2006, 11:15:07 AM

that's my point though, if they signed a long term "big back" he could learn the whole offense and be out there for any play, pass or run. but as they do things now, Davis would be signed, not do much for the 1st 6 weeks of season while he learned "the system", with exception to his specific and predictable package. then, by the time he learned the system at a level that he could actually stay on the field, the season is almost over and they are ready to sign another guy because the guy they just had didn't quite do what they wanted.

rinse and repeat as necessary.

Geowhizzer · April 11, 2006, 11:18:49 AM

So who do the Eagles sign in October when Davis is done for the season?

SunMo · April 11, 2006, 11:19:46 AM

Buckhalter plays the next week

then they sign Levens the week after that when Buckhalter gets hurt

hunt · April 11, 2006, 11:22:14 AM

if reid really wants to run more, they'll look for more of a long-term solution...wells or duckett would be ideal. if he's just looking to plug a hole, davis is your man.
carolina made the mistake of running davis 17-18 times a game last season & he wound up getting injured again...he's certainly not my first choice to fill the "big back" role but i'd rather have him than rely on tapeh or have no big back at all.
