Brownsfan420 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Who's going to get the majority of overflow carries? Is Correll a third down back only, or will he be the starter if Westy goes down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Who's going to get the majority of overflow carries? Is Correll a third down back only, or will he be the starter if Westy goes down? Buck will indeed be the #2 RB...as well as the RB that will give Westbrook a breather from time-to-time. My guess: Buck gets 5-8 touches a game with Westbrook healthy, 13-16 if he goes down. Hunt will be limited to short-yardage scenarios at first. But based on this, he may actually outperform Buck, if he gets enough goalline looks. If Westy goes down, look for his touches to increase somewhat....perhaps 6-10 per week, and all the goalline work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malta69 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 you definitely want to go with Buck as a handcuff to Westbrook...as the season goes on I wouldnt be suprised to see Hunt surpass him on the depth chart though. Buckharlter is hardly a ironman so I wouldnt be at all shocked to see him miss significant PT this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Buckhalter has been the most useless "must have" handcuff that I can recall in the last 4 seasons. I wouldn't waste a roster spot on him. He might cut to the left in the open field and tear his ACL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scourge Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I think if Westbrook goes down, Philly goes back to 75% pass plays. Buck will get minimal carries with Westbrook healthy. Maybe 7-10 carries/game if he gets injured. I agree Hunt is more valuable. He has proven that he can move the pile and will be used in short-yardage and goalline. Buck has always had talent, he just cant stay uninjured.. -Scourge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
