We have four already, but... 

Post#1 » by TNBT » Sun Sep 7, 2008 10:07 am

Is anyone here interested in adding another RB? Actually, I should be more specific and say that I mean trading for a new RB to replace what we have now. I'm not too scared about the position because I think Forte will be good, but I am trying to look at it realistically. Forte is a rookie, Jones is coming back from injury, Wolfe is tiny and Peterson is great on special teams, but I don't know that I want to rely on him at RB. I know we have bigger holes to fill (O-Line, WR, etc) but I am interested to know what you guys think about the RB situation, and to see if we can generate some discussion about who is available, and who we could possibly get.

I think history has shown that RB is one of the positions that a rookie can come in and do damage fairly quickly. That being said, I don't think Forte or any other running back worth trading for is going to show much with our OL and opposing defenses putting 8 in the box and daring Orton to beat us with the passing game.

That being said, I hear Cedric Benson could come cheaply. :thumbsup:
