Pretty sure Helu had one carry, but heard after the game he was limping pretty heavily.

Pretty sure I hear both names several times. Helu I thought caught several passes. Royster I only heard as running the ball outside. Morris took the ball between the tackle most of the day. And they used Banks on the option.

Normally I don't think signing Grant would make a difference. But Shanahan has a way to get something out of backs that others think of as castaways. Plus Grant has experience running in zone blocking schemes like Mikey uses. Right now I think this could go either way so I'll wait and see how he does before I cast any thoughts.

Why does anybody think Steve Slaton is good?

He did have a pretty good year playing for Kyle, and he has the tools to be a quick plant and go back like he was for the Texans, and WVU. Who both run similar styles in the running game. It only takes one chance to prove your worth.

Our running style has undergone a major re-design this season. I think some of the offense would be similar to Kyle's Houston style, but certainly not most of it. I want a running back that's good at chip blocking and releasing. Our pocket keeps folding on the edges.

I dont know if Grant or Slaton is a better run blocker, but if memory serves, it's Grant.

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
Great article from Bleacher Report on Ryan. It was released prior to us signing him, so it leans towards him ending up in Detroit. However that doesnt take away from their opinion of his skill set. Pass blocking is a strength for him. I think in a weird way this helps with two things, not weighted equally. It's another body in a hurt running back rotation, and to a lesser degree, it could help Griff on 3rd downs get to his 3 and 4th reads.

Are there still doubts about Grant (age 29, out practically all of 2010) staying healthy? He started for GB 14 games last season, but only 134 carries?
