Camp Battles- The journey to 53

As much as I want to keep the youth movement going, it is too risky to let ATV go IMO. We would be in a dicey situation if Hightower went out.

Torain's a young vet, he's only 25. I agree, if anything were to happen to Hightower and Torain not be available, we would be down to two rookies, Helu and Royester....not a good situation especially if Keland Williams is also released. I would think one of the veterans would have to stay.

I think any team would be in trouble if they lost their starter and their #2 guy. I think we're set at RB.

Except the Saints. I don't remember if it was last year or the year before last when they were down to their 3rd and 4th string RB and they did okay. But yeah, your average team would be screwed up if the top two RBs are out.

I wasn't speaking of losing them both. Only referring to what the RB situation would look like if Hightower (god-forbid) went down for more than a game or two. We'd be left with Helu and a player with early projections to be on the PS.

Peyton Hillis was pretty beast as a rookie until he got hurt. Some guys can just play regardless of their lack of experience. Helu doesn't make me that uncomfortable. Royster might though, but he still has another game to show his stuff.
