budlitebrad Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) Off the top of my head, I'd say Arizona, Chicago, Carolina, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Miami, and Seattle are some of the teams more likely to take a RB in the draft.

Agreed and I'd also add the Jets to that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) Jones will start the season as the clear #1 in Seattle, unless they draft a rookie early. As close as the Hawks are to the cap, they just wouldn't have spent that money on Jones if they weren't convinced that he was going to be a major upgrade to the backs already on the roster. He is not being brought in here to be a complimentary or committee player. If he struggles in short yardage, Duckett will get the next shot. If he struggles in the passing game, Mo will get the next shot there. Jones will surely get the opportunity to show how much of the load he can carry. The only way this is an RBBC situation is if Jones struggles. I think it is pretty fair to cross out RBBC and write in Jones for now.

Flypaste Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Miami - Ronnie Brown? or will Parcells elect to go with a RBBC (R. Williams, Chatman, etc) Chatman signed with the jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Chester Taylor in Minnesota. I think the carries will be less than last year, but he will still get quite a few to keep AD fresh as the season wears on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this may really piss off some of the rabid SEA fans here (what doesn't unless you state that SEA is the greatest franchise in NFL history and the greatest team every year since the inception of the franchise?) - but does anyone else besides me see a lot of Tatum Bell in J Jones, or think Jones is wholly inadequate as a starting RB at the NFL level?

ROYALWITCHEESE Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) NYG - Brandon Jacobs This is definitely a RBBC IMO. Jacobs/Bradshaw/Ward/Droughns?

I don't see how TJ Duckett doesn't get short yardage opportunities right away. I also have stronger suspicions of this going to a full blown RBBC.

Wholly inadequate is a pretty strong term for someone who has a 1000 yd season on his resume. That said, while I believe Jones should be considered option A, I'm not sure he's a strong enough candidate to be the man just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I sure hope we (Bears) do something about our pathetic string of RBs - other than the two adequate seasons by T. Jones, it's been awhile since we have had a reliable RB. I'm dying to get somebody back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Wholly inadequate is a pretty strong term for someone who has a 1000 yd season on his resume. Both Jones & Bell have 1000 yd seasons on their resumes. In fact, Bell has a much better career ypc and career carries/TD ratio than Jones. And yes, I certainly consider Bell to be wholly inadequate to be a #1 RB, so that pretty much defines Jones for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFFFreak Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) I wonder what are the chances of the Eagles drafting a RB in the first few rounds this year? Westbrook is in the middle stages of his career, but I think it may be time to at least consider the future beyond Westbrook. If not this year, at least over the next year or two. Only thing is that they have several other more pressing needs... Edited March 24, 2008 by TDFFFreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zooty Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 What's the story with Tony Hunt? Is he a bust? Wasn't he supposed to be this guy? I think you have to have some sort of upside to be a bust. He didn't have any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's reasonable and I would agree with you for the most part. I don't think Jones is a #1 type back, but I also don't think he's chopped liver in the grand scheme. The feeling most Seahawk fans have is a level of comfort with of a running game that features Jones and Duckett that is superior to the prospects of having a year-older Alexander in there. If you can find me someone that has claimed anything other than a "let's see how it works" attitude, it is most definitely in the minority.

Seahawks21 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I think Jones can run for 1300 yards in this offense. Even if he only gets 1,000, doesn't that pretty much make him the guy? I suppose it depends on what your definition of RBBC is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I think Jones can run for 1300 yards in this offense. That would have put him as the 6th best rusher in the NFL last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egret Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I don't see how TJ Duckett doesn't get short yardage opportunities right away. I also have stronger suspicions of this going to a full blown RBBC. This will be the fourth team that sees Duckett as having short yardage ability. (Atlanta, Washington, Detroit, Seattle) He's never been a great short yardage player. He's more Ron Dayne than anybody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
