I was wondering if we were going to bring up another RB. Guess this answers my question.

[Dino 6 Rings]

hope Spann can tackle on Kick Off.

[El-Gonzo Jackson]

what happened to Carter?? I too hope we can tackle on returns. Nothing would suck worse that getting beat by Eddie Royal in the return game while Tebow throws for 40 yards all game.

[Buckinnuts]

hamstring..

Hamstring I believe...

[The Duke]

Curtis and Carter really got caught in the numbers game for being rookies

oh well, hope they learned a lot this year

Moore seems very unlikely to play now. He really wouldn't have helped much on the run game, but I just don't trust Redman protecting ben on 3rd down. Dumervil has had a fantastic 2nd half of the season, not to mention rookie Miller

Uh oh.. Chad Spann bout to tearr itt uppp

[Steeltreal]

Next Willie Parker

If anybody can help out Gilbert on Vonn Miller, its Redman. The guy has decent size and is a willing blocker. I think Starks can handle Dumerville if he focuses on his technique.

Spann was on the Kickoff coverage team for two years.

[Psycho Ward 86]

I think Starks can handle Dumerville if he focuses on his technique.

Surprisingly, Starks actually handled his ass in '09 all by himself. He also handled Jared Allen that year, but then max gets owned by putrid pass rushers that nobody knows about wtf?
