Tolbert Likely to Hit FA - Page 2

[QUOTE=Joe W. Namath;4380829]HUH? Michael Bush averaged 3.8 yards per carry last year. Hes one of the most NON explosive backs in the league. He is the definition of a JAG.

Draft a running back who has some speed and has a chance to be great.

These stop gap signings of JAG running backs are pointless.

We have enough JAG rbs on the roster w/ greene, powell etc.[/QUOTE]

I really don't see how Bush and Tolbert are upgrades over Greene. All they are is more expensive. We have so many holes on this team right now and we're worried about signing JAG overpriced running backs?

who said they would replace greene? and tolbert is far from a JAG and would add a much needed element to our running game.

Because they are talented fullbacks. Greene sucks donkey nuts as a fullback.

[QUOTE=WestCoastOffensive;4380996]He's a fullback; and, I watch him hit the hole on a weekly basis, Joe W.[/QUOTE]

M Bush is not a FB. Raiders once try to get him on the field together with D Mcfadden. (as a FB) M Bush wanted no part of fullback

I don't think he does anything for the Jets running game. He probably going to end up with the Bengals.

After a two year hiatus, Bush finally returned to the football field in 2008.

He also filled in as a blocking fullback.

No on tolbert. Overrated, fat, and slow. Fantasy football /=/ real life.
