#2 in KC - Bennett or is he a FA?

#3 in Dallas Tyson Thompson

 

[jeter23]

Bennett and Brown are both FAs from KC. I will add Thompson.

Thanks!

ThanksIndy - Mungro injured ACL last August and should be #2 right now?

SF - Michael Robinson #2? Hicks #3?

Washington - Rock Cartwright #3?

 

[Patoons]

Buffalo possibly an Atrain re-sign?

 

[Tyrion]

Buffalo possibly an Atrain re-sign?

I am curious about that as well. I expect them to draft, sign or trade for a RB but if they don't do that... A-train actually played well for them last year when he had to sub for Willis.

heard **** Jauron on Sirius NFL radio this past week and he said they where looking at resigning A- Train. He also said they are believers in a 2 back system

 

[nightmare]

Indy it's Dorsey and Kory Chapman fighting it out for #2 or #3 if they sign/draft somebody

James Mungro is the Fullback

Cleveland, I belive it's Jason Wright 3rd stringer?

Miami right now it's Jesse Chatman #3

Jamal Robertson still Atlanta's #3?

PJ Pope Green Bay's #3 until they sign/draft another rb.

Jarret Peyton #2 in Tennesee(yes he's still around).

Eagles still have Reno Mahe(punt returner), Tomas Tapeh(fullback).

Rams it's T Minor #2 Kay Jay Harris #3

kffl.com has team by team depth charts without the team free agents on them or the injured players in their reguler spots.

Somt team are pretty thin(Titans).

 

[Ministry of Pain]

If Dillon can swallow his pride, he might make a nice battering ram for the Colts in the 4th quarter of some of their games. Addai is the man there, and he will be the guy in that offense, but someone to help burden the load when they have leads and whatnot would be a nice luxury.

 

[Riffraff]

Jarret Peyton #2 in Tennesee(yes he's still around).

He was cut by Tennessee in the 2006 pre-season. And it's Jarrett Payton. (Two Ts and an A)

 

[Driver]

Indy it's Dorsey and Kory Chapman fighting it out for #2 or #3 if they sign/draft somebody James Mungro is the Fullback

You might be right, but I think I'll stick with Mungro as RB2 until I see different in TC.DeDe Dorsey was undrafted out of Lindenwood College in 2006 and was active for 13 games last year with 0 carries.Kory Chapman was undrafted out of Jacksonville State in 2005 and was active for 3 games with 0 carries in 2005 -- and he was on the taxi squad and not active for any games last year.I thought James Mungro was pretty effective as RB2 to Edge in 2002 when Rhodes had the ACL and was out for the entire year. If Indy does not sign a FA or draft an RB, then I think it's consistent with them being comfortable with Mungro as back-up to Addai. Mungro is 5'9" and 214.

 

[Crazy8s]

Are we so sure that J. Jones is the #1 in Dallas? Is this speculation until training camp. I wouldn't be surprised if Barber gets the call.....time will tell.

I see both Barber and JJones getting plenty of carries next year, sucks for fantasy but they both are very valuable to the Dallas team. I dont see anything changing this year.

 

[nightmare]

Yeah, J Payton looks gone, so then it's Quintin Ganther and Dontrel moore in Tennesee.

(although he's still listed at kffl)

In Indy, Addai, Chapman, Mungro and Dorsey are what they have right now.

Obviously that's gonna change for Indy and Tennesee.

I think it's a foregone conclusion that Indy will draft a RB either in rd 3 or 4, probably 4 unless someone falls that shouldn't.

I think they'll add some RB but it's only an eh need IMO. Mungro has had his moments and looked quite good for a role player.After time with the Pats, Chapman was scooped up by them. "The other" Ricky Williams was cut and he's stuck. 2-3 years with the Colts now? It would seem they feel he's an adequate 3rd/4th option

IIRC Roger Robinson was picked up by some team, I thought it was Tennessee.

Rams it's T Minor #2 Kay Jay Harris #3

What about that guy they got from the Pack before 06?

 

[nightmare]

Rams it's T Minor #2 Kay Jay Harris #3

What about that guy they got from the Pack before 06?

Tony Fisher- unrestricted free agent so he's not really with the team right now. Who knows if they bring him back. S Jackson is the whole show for their running game right now.

I read somewhere recently that the Rams were likely to bring back UFA S Davis to reprise his 2006 role as #2.

Thinking back to last year, everyone knew they would be drafting a back after letting Edge go. Speculation was that they were going to a RBBC then. Of course taking a RB in the first doesn't exactly lend itself to utilizing a RBBC. So if they take a RB in the mid rounds then expect that person to be nothing more than a change of pace back.

 

[Family Matters]

The one I find most intriuging is Green Bay. If Brown ends up there then his value goes way up. I also wouldn't be surprised to see them draft someone for a RBBC for 1 year. It'll be interesting to see what they do.

 

[TecmoBeast]

Fason is the #2 in Minny. Mewelde is used as a 3rd down back.

How do you know this?Pinner apeared to be the clear #2 used in tandem with MM to me. Fason is 3rd string.

 

[Jedimaster21]

Lamont Jordan is the starter in Oakland and Rhodes is the backup.

Last season, Fason was listed as the backup on the team's depth chart at the start of the season. Chester went down to injury in w13 and Fason stepped in against Chicago for 11-75 for 1 TD. w14, Fason does not start... instead Pinner gets the start and tears up the pourous Lions for 29-125 and 3 TDs. No one knows if it's Fason or Pinner, but I think it's safe to assume Mewelde Moore is not the backup

I agree that MM is not the backup to Chester but the change of pace.I think it is uncertain if the backup is Pinner or Fason but I would give the nod to Pinner.Fason was not even active and I thought close to a risk of being cut until just before Chester got hurt. Then suprisingly Fason got to play extensivly in relief of Chester. I think this happened because Pinner had some minor injury himself at that time that he quickly recovered from. There was not open news about this at the time but IIRC that information came out after Pinner got the start in the following game against the Lions.Pinner was the backup from there on out although Chester quickly returned.This is Fasons 3rd year so he is on the hotseat to beat Pinner out for the backup role or else he will likely be moving on to another backup situation with another team and obscurity. I do think he has a chance to beat Pinner out for the backup role but I think Pinner is still ahead of him for now.

The odd thing about Pinner is that he's already 29, older than Chester. It seems to me that it's Fason's job to lose.

What about that guy they got from the Pack before 06?

Tony Fisher- unrestricted free agent so he's not really with the team right now.

ahh yeah that guy.he was OK. I'm surprised I haven't heard his name recently then if he's a UFA. He's probably cheap, relatively.

Who knows if they bring him back. S Jackson is the whole show for their running game right now.

Oh yeah but he does need a breather; with his style of running maybe just to get his head back on straight. He seems to give out and take more hits than most 'backs.Re other post, I'm confident Stephen Davis is done.

Mungro's an UFA, and there's no way he's going to be the #2 back - he's a journeyman and coming off of knee surgery. Chapman's not on the Colts right now. The Colts signed a CFL back named Kendon Keith, but I don't expect much out of him. We'll know by the draft how high the Colts are on De De Dorsey

Perhaps if you were running the Vikings that would be the case. However the coaching staff has shown somthing different here and I do not think age is a big factor.As I said in previous post I do think this is a make or break season for Fason. If he does not beat out Pinner for the backup role in training camp then his career in the NFL may not last much longer. I am sure Fason will get the opportunity to compete for that role but he has not won it yet. Part of Fasons problem is his blocking and learing the system. The Vikings obviously liked Pinner better last year. Fason will get another shot to beat Pinner out for backup but I don't see any reason to think it is his job to lose here.

Fason is an interesting guy whose raw running talent would seem to exceed his opportunities thus far, likely for the reasons you stated. I'm wondering whether he could have a late-blooming career in the mold of Reuben Droughns or Priest Holmes (no, I'm not comparing the overall talent level) given the right opportunities, for example in Houston or in Buffalo.

 

[Jetdoc]

Excellent thread for pointing out holes in teams...I figured that there would be a lot of bickering back and forth about semantics of who is #2 versus #3 (or #1 versus #2 in clear RBBC situations).

In short:

I agree that Buffalo and Green Bay are primed to (1) pick up Dillon or (2) trade with another team to get a bonafide starting RB. If they don't go that route (or even if they do), the chances of them taking a RB in the first two rounds of the draft are pretty high.

Looks like the full blown RBBC's for the upcoming year are Dallas (Jones/MBIII), Carolina (Foster/DAWilliams), Denver (Henry/Bell), Jacksonville (Taylor/MJD) and New Orleans (McAllister/Bush).

I can also see the Giants (Jacobs/Droughns) and Detroit (if KJ doesn't come back) moving that way as well.

 

[Bankerguy]

Dallas message boards have rumblings of them shopping Julius Jones around again.

 

[Bankerguy]

Looks like the media have picked this up too.

Cowboys may be willing to trade Jones

March 12

Philadelphia Daily News (scroll down): "The Cowboys aren't exactly shopping running back Julius Jones, but they've told teams that have inquired about him that he's for sale for the right price. Cowboys owner-GM Jerry Jones apparently is prepared to hitch his wagon to the team's other young running back, Marion Barber."

 

[Marino13]

Jarret Peyton #2 in Tennesee(yes he's still around).

He was cut by Tennessee in the 2006 pre-season. And it's Jarrett Payton. (Two Ts and an A)

He signed with some team in the CFL....
