How's White working out LHUCKS?

Pretty damn good...nailed four of five looks like.Pretty much nailed the Maurice Drew call, when nobody else around here even knew who he was...drafted him very late in the staff v MB survivor draft. I can send a link to the thread where I first informed the pool about his talents if you'd like.

Stalk much?Your quality of posting has obviously suffered.
LenDale White. Pac10 = Conference of Fat, Whiny Tools who spit on teammates.

Interesting that I was the only one with the nuts to post my top five. This board is so full of hacks during the regular season I don't even know why I waste my time.Good luck with the Yahoo leagues fellas.lol @ white being at the top of the listthe drew call was gold though

That top-5, outside of LenDale, was pretty solid.I think you're going a little bit overboard saying nobody here knew who Drew was, though. Aside from myself (and I clearly underestimated Drew, I admit it) - there are a number of other posters with solid college knowledge (check the rhyme) in this forum.

No question...Colin, Bloom among others know a heck of a lot more than I care to know. I tend to concentrate of fantasy impact players.

To be honest, White has looked good when he gets the ball.
It's just hard to get playing time when a team has two other former 1k rushers.

i wonder why the titans drafted him then?

Probably for the same reason why the Seahawks drafted Ahman Green or why the Chiefs drafted Larry Johnson.

I tend to disagree with LHUCKS on a regular basis, but I was excited about Lendale going to the Titans on draft day and I remain just as excited now. He has been an excellent runner in limited duty and it's easy to see that once he gets a little more adept at blocking, he'll have more of a role. If Travis Henry weren't playing well, we'd likely be seeing a lot more of White.

I disagree... this was top 5 most NFL ready. Addai isn't even on your list, yet he was more NFL ready than your top 3 altogether.If anything Bush looked far less NFL ready than Moroney, Addai, JonesDrew, even Williams. He's grown this year, but still struggles as a runner.White was downright horrible at the beginning of the year.

White replaced with Addai would make that a great list.If I had to reorder the list for the future it would probably beMaroneyBushAddaiJones-DrewWilliams

The Titans had Devin Hester on the phone and told him that they were going to select him - and then selected Lendale White in last year's draft.
Big mistake.
Lendale White will NEVER get a mention in Canton, OH - whereas Devin Hester is a lock.

Don't write White off yet, but it has to sting that he's behind RBs from the Big XII and the SEC. So LHucks posts 5 of the top 6 RBs that eveyone saw, yet totally missed Addai, his #1 isn't doing anything, he had Maroney at #4, and he wants to say he did damn good?

Unless of course he becomes a WR.

I'm not saying it's the same, but all this negativity surrounding LenDale White reminds me of Larry Johnson after his rookie season. Given that he'll cost a lot less now, why not try to stash him on your roster in a keeper league? That's what I'm doing until he definitely proves to me that he can't play in this league.
EDIT: To answer the OP's question.
1. AD
2. Marshawn Lynch
3. Kenny Irons
4. Michael Bush
5. Tony Hunt
I can see Hunt being a great sleeper. Seems to run over everyone and has some shiftiness for a guy his size. Hunt should go in round 2-4 of the draft and he's one I'll be watching to see where he lands.
Also, I'm a HUGE Lynch fan. I think he's neck and neck with Peterson.

You guys STILL don't get it. I never said that Devin Hester is going to be a Hall of Famer. I simply stated he'd be mentioned in Canton, as he holds a record (which was held for over a quarter century): 6 TD returns in a season. It's a cold hard lock that he'll have a little section in some display case showing his jersey or cleats. I was there a few years ago and Corey Dillon's jersey (or spikes) were there because he had the most yards rushing in a game.Is Dante Hall going to get a look?Hester needs to learn how to cover WRs in the NFL before he can even be CONSIDERED for the H.O.F.Learn to read then, I said Devin Hester is a lock to 'get a mention in Canton, OH'.

I was about to make a new thread, but this is exactly what I'm wondering.How much of a difference is there between these 2? I've seen much more AD than Lynch the last few year, love his game, but from what I've seen of Lynch, he looks pretty talented too. Not to make this a "trade" thread, but what would you need to trade down from AD to Lynch, or what would you give to trade from Lynch to AD?
