I'm working on it as we speak.Better strike while he's hot... his value will never be higher than it isright now! I traded him right after MA was released.I hope he is, so I can trade Dayne as soon as possible to someone that needs a RB.And it's looking better by the minute.
Houston tried to install a zone-blocking scheme like Denver has.... they just didn't have an athletic enough line.I remember reading somewhere that Davis' numbers from a zone-blocking scheme weren't really the expected numbers that you normally get. If you look at his 20+ yards, he's only got 13 for his career, and that's a pretty low average (maybe due to the bad line not opening up the gateways for him?).
Not necessarily. You just have to understand the type of RB Shanahan likes. I supported Q-Tip, but he didn't fit the mold of all the previous RBs. I think the only reason Q got so much hype was because of the success Portis had who was an undersized back compared to the other guys they'd had there.
Not when they could likely have Maroney, who would also be a great fit, and still retain another #1 pick that they could use on someone like a Dominique Byrd/Leonard Pope TE or Kamerion Wimbley/Mathias Kiwanuka DE, both areas of need.
I think Dayne does play like a traditional Shanny back which is why he was resigned. Can he be successful is the real question (moreso than MA) and I don't know the answer and won't waste a roster space on Bell/Dayne waiting/hoping/reading between the lines on which one if either will prevail. If Bell is still there he will get carries, he was too good in that role last year not to. So unless it looks as if it's Bell's job outright (which there is nothing to indicate anything like that at this point) I won't touch Dayne because I envision a similar rotation as was used last year.
My thought was if they had the choice of spending a third or fourth rounder on a guy out of the draft and possibly having him be another Clarett... or could acquire a proven, young RB who someone else has already paid the signing bonus to so you don't have to, that it would be worth considering.That said, I still am not thinking this trade will ever happen, but speculating wildly is about what the sports off-season is about, after all.
actually Dayne ran rather well last year when given the chance. My problem with the whole situation is if Dayne is "the man" like MA was last year it's an RBBC with Dayne getting the goal line action. Thus, Dayne will be worthy of a decent pick but Bell will also get carries and lead to the same headaches as last year. Dayne = MA.
Are we doing this yet again? You make your assertions, and then I retort with evidence from last year that directly refutes your assertions. What you saw in NY might be very true, but that was not the way Dayne ran in practice, in preseason, or in games last year.Then we do it again two weeks later. My response is that NY misused Dayne and that DEN is much more condusive to his running style, and your retort is that Dayne sucks 24/7.
Which i refute by noting last year Dayne was used in extremely limited service. And as we all know the backup running back always comes in and romps during spot duty. Dayne has never proven capable of carrying anything like a full NFL load effectively, last year notwithstanding. And as you may recall, Quentin Griffin romped though a few games as well.
Very good point. Dayne might end up being the guy in Denver, but people here are acting like he is almost a sure thing to carry the Denver load, which is borderline crazy based on what he has done throughout his whole career.
Keep Barlow in SF! Well until I can trade Dayne. 
I guess I know more than Shanahan about RBs also, if that is the standard.
