maskedmike Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Can someone give me some info on Glen Coffee and why he is being so coveted. He's owned by a good portion of the leagues in yahoo and I was wondering if I'm missing out on something. Is Gore injured or injury prone. I've always thought of Gore as a tough back. Please help, should I take a flyer on this guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hukdon49ers Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) I follow the Niners real close and I can tell you that Gore wouldnt have an injury prone label if it werent for his misfortunes in college with his knees. Hes been a very reliable, durable and underrated back in the NFL. But justified or not Gore has been given the "injury prone" label. Coffee has been absoluted dynamite thru training camp and preseason. He runs similar to AD in that hes a one-cut and go str8 up punishing running style. If I had Gore I wouldnt hesitate to pick up Coffee for insurance. I think Coffee may compliment Gore as a backup the way Turned did LT. I apologize for the homerism. Remember Gore was drafted in the third round also. Edited August 31, 2009 by hukdon49ers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maskedmike Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Is there any reason to pick up Coffee if you don't have Gore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hukdon49ers Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) Coffee is no Peterson. That's laughable. Coffee is very good though. That response is laughable. I dont believe I ever said he was Peterson. I said he has a similar running style. I wouldnt pick up Coffee myself but would definitely have my triggerfinger ready if gore goes down.
