Would love to see

Chris Ivory
Lamar Miller
Reggie bush, Steven Jackson or Legarette Blount
Stepfan Taylor, Christine Michael or Knile Davis

may different dimensions

how many RBs do we need?
I don't think Ivory is an unrestricted FA and there is no way we'd sign steven jackson (who isn't a FA either I don't think)
no need to spend $$ on a RB unless it is to resing bush to be the #2 at the right price.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Our backfield next year is:

Clay at FB

Miller & Thomas at RB.

3rd tailback will be a vet at league minimum or a late round draft pick.

Can't see us keeping 4th RB on the roster,and I don't think there's any way in hell we give up a draft pick to sign a RFA like Ivory to serve as a backup to Miller. Just not gonna happen. If you want Ivory you'll have to wait until next year.

Jonas Gray will most likely be the 3rd RB. Coaches liked him last year but he got injured.

Steven Jackson is indeed a FA.

I disagree about needing a 4th RB. If you go back to what Sherman says he really envisions for this offense is 90 plays per game, with about a 50/50 run/pass split. To pull that off, you need 3 RBs to contribute every game. And in that case, you have to carry 4 RBs for depth.

People shouldn't sleep on Jonas Gray. He could be a sleeper.

And for a veteran pickup, because I would not count on Daniel Thomas being on the roster, don't be surprised if it's Peyton Hillis. He's a physical runner who could help in goal line situations, and he's got good hands out of the backfield. Of course, I'm talking about a really cheap deal.

Thomas has been an injury prone bust so far. Ivory is an RFA, averages 5 a carry. trade for Ivory

Thomas could be gone if someone out plays him...that's for sure.

And while Ivory is a good player, its a pipe dream to think we are going to go get him.

First off, the Saints aren't going to just give him away.

Considering how big a flop Ingram has been, they are most likely going to want to keep him around which means he's probably going to get a 2nd round tender for $2.08mill.

There's no way we are giving up a 2nd round pick for the right to overpay a guy who will back up Lamar Miller.

Its just not happening.

If you want Ivory, you'll have to wait until he's an unrestricted FA next year.

Just reading up on Jonas Gray a bit...


5'9 225 lbs from Notre Dame...114/791/12 td's (6.9 ypc) before injury in last game.

He has been rehabbing the torn ACL he suffered in November of 2011 (15 months). There is a chance he will never make it back.

I think we will draft another this year in the late rounds.
