It still makes a difference in the way that salary, more than anything else, seems to dictate usage patterns. If you sign a guy at 7 million to play RB, then he's pretty much playing three downs.

Maybe that's not a bad thing, but Sproles is one of the rare guys in the league who has never run behind zone blocking at any level. Not at K-State, and not with the Chargers. Marty and Norv, independantly, are two of the only offensive minded coaches who have really not embraced zone blocking concepts in any capacity, at least to this point.

Zorn's scheme was primarily zone blocking, but there were some man elements in the week to week gameplan (likely due to Bugel).

WTF? I know we can't fix everything in one year but can we get rid of the old dead wood and make an attempt to get younger across the board? Daniels is 37y/o. OMG. Wasn't he cut last year and brought back for a one year deal?

Cornelius might as well start packing.

I don't mind the move. Despite his age, he plays the run well and is a good guy to run a rotation with.

Daniels is simply terrible. He's got no quickness, no speed, he's as slow as a turtle. I just don't get it.

The guy is as strong as a bull. Like the guys after you said, he's a 3-4 DE and a decent stop-gap.

I guess I wouldn't mind it since we don't know what Portis will be able to do since his concusion. Then there's the fact that we have a guy on the team who is, I'm guessing, making 400K to 500K to pretty much play 4-7 plays the whole game. ... Cartwright.
