Are we interested in Chris Johnson?

[MHS831]

He is an egotistical head case who is refusing to workout for teams.  No. 

 

If I were a GM, I would re-sign 1 RB to a second contract---- AP. 

 

That is it.

[OneBadCat]

His speed combined with Cam could be pretty deadly but our backfield is too crowded.

Tolbert is an All-Pro, Williams isn't the RB he was three years ago but you'd be lying if you said he still doesn't have his wheels, Stewart, prior to this last season, was (still could be) very dependable, and Barner is a project. The O-Line has gotta be fixed though.

 

The OL is the two ton elephant in the room. We clearly cannot fix it bringing in vet minimum players and the way I see it we will not get immediate relief in the draft at least at LT.......so that leaves shuffling around our existing OL.Kugzilla was injured picking up a twinky so his durability is questionable.......Williams coming off an injury....and the guy Geman feels can play LT because he is left handed Bell. 

 

Without an OL our running and passing game will be limited

not sure DG would ever get past the gold fronts

Obviously we are not going to sign him.

Also, YPC with him is a little deceiving. Watch him. He is the type that gives you runs of 1,0,2,2,2,20 yds and comes out with 4+ ypc avg. He doesnt consistantly deliver play after play. Now, that may be a scheme thing; that may be a line issue, but I think it is most likely just who he is. I'd rather watch the tolldozer any day.

If we cut Double trouble, wouldn't that accelerate the dead money?

yes they are ours for at least another year

I like the big play threat in a RB. One could argue AP is like that.

No way. AP is a very consistent back that suffers from 8 men in the box syndrome.

[ChinaPanther]

Early in AP's career he was like that. Every back in the NFL has their 1-3 yard gains. AP when he was younger, 1,3,4,2,3, then a 40-50 yarder, repeat again.  

[Proudiddy]

I want this to happen. I was actually going to make a thread a few weeks back before his release discussing what a steal (and perfect fit) he would be here.

Will it happen?

I'm guessing no.

[Toker Smurf]

I am assuming he meant patriots not panthers
