Preferably 8. Board is slacking.
If you are of the opinion that Bell is more talented than Dayne(and most people are of that opinion) then Duckett would compliment Bell better than Brown would.
He also ended 2005 with 39 carries for 43 yards. With an aging Dunn, Denver running system, Falcons don't even want to give him a SHOT at being the main guy. He works out on his own, barely attends any offseason programs. The guy runs straight up, he's horrible short yardage RB (for his size). He gets knocked back constantly. He tries to bust it to the outside far too often. When the rush hits him, he turns to the side instead of lowering his shoulder. Dunn always misses a few games, but they're going to go into 06 with Norwood as the rb2? That says what they think of Duckett. I've seen every falcon game the last 3 years, and Duckett will give you flashes, but then will disappear for weeks at a time. Like Scott, it's time for Duckett to move on.
Shanny said it isn't going to happen.I'm not sure but maybe a Bronco fan can assist, I believe Watts always looks good in shorts and it's with the pads on that's his prob
It is interesting to note how bad Lelie has seemed to seal his fat in Denver as it now appears Lelie is not only being past on the depth charts by Smith and walker, but , Darius Watts is looking good and could be the WR#3.

I don't know. I'd have to hear what Shanny said about Duckett after he was acquired (whether he called Duckett quality depth or said that he was the new #1 guy). Personally, I'm of the opinion that if Duckett really would pass Dayne on the depth chart, Denver would have accepted the Duckett-for-Lelie swap during the draft.
Again, he's NOT a horrible short-yardage back. He's a very good short yardage back. He led the league with a 61% success rate in 2004, which means he was stuffed or stopped short less than any other RB in the entire NFL. That's pretty impressive.With that said, he was PUTRID last season, which is a huge cause for concern in my eyes. Not just random regression to the mean bad, but PUTRID.
He does indeed always look good in shorts, but the biggest problem with him in Denver has been his horrible case of the dropsies. Theoretically, pads wouldn't cause him to drop any more balls than shorts. If his hands have really improved that much this offseason (and as pleasantly surprised as Shanahan has been, they must have REALLY improved), then that could be a very good sign for Watts.Shanahan actually made a point of singling out Watts as the single biggest pleasant surprise so far this offseason. That's a bold statement, especially considering Shanahan was the guy who demoted him to WR5 last offseason, and considering that Shanahan is pretty familiar with his tendency to dazzle in camps.I'm not sure but maybe a Bronco fan can assist, I believe Watts always looks good in shorts and it's with the pads on that's his prob

I have drafted Duckett in many leagues and didn't buy the Ron Dayne hype. I hope this is true.
let's see, which looks better.2003- present:
WTF are you talking about...39 carries for 43 yards? Duckett ran for 380 yards last season.
When you post childish comments like this try to get your facts straight. Nice attempt at fluff, you sure duckett had 43 yards last year? Where you get that number? Cause it's wrong.
Give that credit to Vick and the o-line. (ATL is ranked as an elite rushing offense - none of that is due to Duckett) I've seen Vick get hit on a normal hand off. The end is always chasing down Vick because of the bootlegs. Sure helps when the LB/DE is shading/running at Vick on a run play. Regardless, I still maintain he's a bad short yardage back. He runs like Chris Brown. He almost never falls forward. He constantly gets pushed back on initial contact. He loves to break it way outside. He's a big man who likes to avoid contact and use his speed. He SHOULD be a great short yardage back. He's quick, big, strong. But he plays like he's 190lbs.Maybe I'm biased. But his style does not match his body. I'd rather give Dunn the ball on short yardage or goal line. And it looks like the Falcons agree.There's lots of times stats don't match reality. Dillon had a bunch of goal line TDs last year. He's a below average short yardage/goal line RB.
Ended? The Season? Last 5 games. Instead of43 yards in 3 games (14-16), but where do you get the 39 carries from? he had 29 in those games.
you shoudl have keep looking.Yikes.Uhh. Try reading instead of spamming fluff piece. Last 5 games, 37 attempts, 43 yards. I said ENDED the 2005 season. Final 5 games = ended. If you need me to clear anything else up let me know.When you post childish comments like this try to get your facts straight. Nice attempt at fluff, you sure duckett had 43 yards last year?

When someone says that a person ended the season with X yards, he NORMALLY means his total of yards for the season. Was it too hard for you to say he had 41 yards in his last 5 games?
If I said LJ ended 2005 with 40 carries, 250 yards, and 5 tds. You'd reply withWhen someone says that a person ended the season with X yards, he NORMALLY means his total of yards for the season. Was it too hard for you to say he had 41 yards in his last 5 games?
gang-wars, you're wrong here, though it's just a semantics snafu, not a reflection on the worth(lessness) of TJ Duckett.If I said LJ ended 2005 with 40 carries, 250 yards, and 5 tds.

WTF R U DRUNK MAN!!! He had 1800 yards!!!
A little common sense should kick in at some point.
If you're going to use a stat, not recognizeable to most (if not all), at least get it right.Ended? The Season? Last 5 games. Instead of
4 attempts for 4 yards
10 attempts for 13 yards
8 attempts for -2
11 attempts 32 yards
4 attempts -6 yards
37 (close enough) attempts for 41 yards in the final 5 games. He was GARBAGE.
That's what I and many other would say actually. You were wrong, get over it.If I said LJ ended 2005 with 40 carries, 250 yards, and 5 tds.

You were too busy spamming :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: to even check properly. It was one line in a 10 line rant about how much Duckett sucks. Enough with the straw man stuff. If there's one line you can highlight, spam emoticons, shout WTF WTF, and make yourself look smart, people jump all over it. While completely ignoring the point, Duckett is worthless.If you're going to use a stat, not recognizeable to most (if not all), at least get it right.Ended? The Season? Last 5 games. Instead of
