[QUOTE=Dirtbag59;905138]None of those guys except Demps or Rainey. If we get a RB it will be one of the guys I mentioned here.[/QUOTE]



Why does everything have to be your way? BTW Vic Ballard can't keep his balance. Running into tripods and what not.

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency (and Trades) Tracker (Verse II)
 

...even w/ a healthy Hightower or other legit starter added to the roster I'd like to see Helu get equal carries. Helu has the potential to be very very good. When I watched him (live) in Seattle last year I saw him do some things you just don't see every Sunday.

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency (and Trades) Tracker (Verse II)
 

For practical reasons I don't think that we can draft Rainey. His ego is too big to physically fit into the locker room.

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency (and Trades) Tracker (Verse II)
 

Running backs?
We drafted two and traded for another last year.
WTF would we waste picks on a RB this year?

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency (and Trades) Tracker (Verse II)
 

Helu should enter the season as the starter. Period. Anything else doesn't make sense.

Agreed. He has the talent and skillset to be a Shanahan stud and he has earned it.

Shanny is genius when it comes to RBs. If we draft one or two later late rounds or sign UFA rookie and then one of them plays well enough, then we can trade Royster for maybe 4th round pick or something. I would say that we also could trade Helu or Hightower, but I absolutely love them both and I would hate to see them go but if one of them gets us 3rd round pick or whatever then I could see Shanny pulling the trigger.

Because I search for RB's like Jim Koch searching for hops.

Ummm...what?
Trade our good running backs so we can draft more running backs?
And a 4th for Royster???????

Even if LaMichael James is drafted in the 3rd round?

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency (and Trades) Tracker (Verse II)
 

I am very happy that they have decided to resign hightower. Each of our running back had something to bring last year
Helu- great all around back with straight line speed
Royster- great 3rd down change of pace and can cut back
Hightower- Power back that can cut hopefully he heals fully

I hope the draft Chris Rainey or LaMichael James either player brings that Reggie Bush/ Darren Sproles style of play.- Homerun threat.

Especially if we draft LaMichael James in the 3rd round. James isn't an every down back. He's Darren Sproles 2.0

this. youth. now. thanks.

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency (and Trades) Tracker (Verse II)
 

I want us to draft Mychal Kendricks in the third round. I hope its not a running back. I am looking for an LB, a FS, and a CB. Something like this:

3rd Mychal Kendricks LB
4th Markelle Martin FS
4th Asa jackson CB

I never said that we should trade one of our RB, in order to draft other. That does not make any sense at all. What I am saying is that we all know how Shanny always manage to come up with good RBs. So if we happen to draft a RB or sign UFA rookie this year, and then the player plays well enough, which will give us an opportunity to trade one of our RBs for whatever round pick for 2013, not so we could draft another RB but to draft a player for whichever position that we need the most such as O-line or ILB or CB.

To clarify where I stand in this idea, I do not like the idea of Redskins drafting another RB this year. However, I am all for signing UFA rookies. Just because I do not like the idea, it does not mean I cannot see what scenarios from drafting or signing UFA RBs could present for Redskins FO.
