so does this mean we need a #3 RB or is Josh Vaughn coming back?

[KendrickPanther]

I think you slide Tolbert in at RB for the third option and put Brockel in at FB.

There has to be some way to make use of his gifts. Hire him some special help.

This. They should bring in someone who specializes in getting people with learning disabilities to process information. OLine is one of the most cerebral positions on the field. Coaches yelling at you isn't the way to go for this guy. He seriously needs a personal tutor of sorts to go over plays with him and create ways for him to be able to connect the dots on the fly much, much faster. It's possible, my wife's little brother just moved in with us and he is 23 and has the mentality of a 16 year old. He isn't stupid, you just need to take your time to understand how he is processing things, and then use that to teach him whatever it is you want him to learn.

Wasn't Goodson inactive most of the season anyways? We run a one back offense with some option wrinkles. I remember we gave the ball to Goodson at the end of the Arizona game on a pass and he didn't get in the endzone.

The more I read about him, the more I think this is just camp and preaseason fodder and doubt he makes the final roster. Would be great if he can pan out though.

yea it'll be:

FB: Mike Tolbert - Richie Brockel

RB: DeAngelo Williams - Jonathan Stewart

he can't even make the active roster most game days so he wasn't even cutting it as a backup. and oakland doesn't exactly have the most dominant OLine to begin with.

the fact that he was active in 10 games in 2010... then 4 in 2011... then on the trading block in 2012... doesn't look like he's heading in the right direction either. maybe our staff can get something out of him, who knows.

honestly i think oakland got the best of this trade. goodson has had multiple 100+ yard rushing games and has been solid on kickoff returns as well. if you fix his fumbling issue you've got a very solid player. he's proven far more in the NFL thus far than campbell

[KillerKat]

running straight into a pile of defenders isn't exactly solid

[KillerKat]

uhh..anybody else notice something odd here?

yeahhh....

[R0CKnR0LLA]

goodsons kickoff return average

2011: 22.7

2010: 21.8

devin hester last year on kickoff returns

Yea he's so great, that's why Pilares took his job last season....

[KillerKat]

btw Hester is more of a PR. Josh Cribbs, who does both, was 25.0. So bad comparison. You saw a big name, but that name doesn't apply here.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

didn't say he was so great, just that he's obviously proven more than campbell has in the NFL

solid return man

390 yards on his 3 starts when DWill and Stew were out in 2010

vs a guy that's never even been able to cut it as a backup

I agree Raiders might've gotten the better deal, but he isn't a solid return man...

Top 10 in KR:

Yds/Kick Return 1. Percy Harvin · MIN 32.5 2. Joe McKnight · NYJ 31.6 3. David Reed · BAL 29.7 4. Marcus Sherels · MIN 27.8 5. Randall Cobb · GNB 27.7 6. Ted Ginn Jr. · SFO 27.6 7. Richard Goodman · SDG 27.5 8. Antonio Brown* · PIT 27.3 9. Darren Sproles · NOR 27.2 10. Sammie Stroughter · TAM 27.0

PIlares was 25.7

Goodson is average at best at returning KOs, if that.
