skinz1972 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 he wont start but on 3rd and short,put him in the game so portis can stay healthy down the stretch,and like bettis he could move the pile for more yards.what do you all think? no flaming please.all our RB's are small,that is why i say we need a bettis size 3rd and 1,2or 3 backup.:dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I guess if they're not on the field, you forget about them. #30 Nehemiah Broughton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 250 pounds with good quickness? sounds like the one element this team was missing in 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I'd say Nemo though some are suggesting picking up Alstott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ComebackKing Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Alstott is way past his prime I think. Plus he tends to get hurt alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Alstott is 32 years old and has had numerous injury problems. Besides, I don't see him coming here to be the #3 behind both Portis and Betts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Holmes Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 skinz1972 i echo your point exactly...maybe that should be a draft priority.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz1972 Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 skinz1972 i echo your point exactly...maybe that should be a draft priority..if we could get lendale white,i would be stoked,but he'll go in 1st round................to cowpokes i bet:dallasuck :eaglesuck :gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrunellSuperbowl Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 nemo deserves a shot at back up running back. I agree Betts is not a good fit as back up because he is the same size as Portis basically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosperity Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Betts is closer in size to Portis than Nemo is to Portis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz1972 Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 bettis is what? 230 240? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoEd Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I really like Betts but we need to let him go to another team and start. Nemo is a big bruising back that can get us our short yardage. Rock could remain as Portis' backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 bettis is what? 230 240? Try 275. As far as a big back is concerned, that would be Nemo and he's already on the roster. Coach Byner thinks alot of him also. Check it out: http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=137504 Especially this: Follow-up from Extremeskins Staff:At one point you said about Nemo, when he ran you could feel the ground move - does it still move? Earnest Byner Quote: Oh absolutely. Yes sir, he’s got some hooves on him, I’ll put it that way. Feels like a horse running by you. He’s strong, he’s learning some running techniques, he works on these running techniques that I’ve been teaching him as the year progresses. He’s one of the guys that really really works. He’s going to be hell to deal with, I’m telling you. Whenever he gets on the field, it’s going to be something that we’ll love to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIDETHEWALRUS Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 What ever happened to Manuel White? Did we cut him or has he just not shown too much promise? I know he was a beast at UCLA. Oh yeah, I would much rather have Rock and Nemo as backups to CP than Betts and either. I get disgusted with guys that are constantly injured.
