DA_skinZ Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 http://washingtontimes.com/sports/2...24513-9267r.htm didn't sign him right away but this could be a sign Gibbs want a big RB (6'1" 241 lbs.) for certain situations and isn't confident w/ the smaller RB group he has now.. Note — Washington worked out running back Stacey Mack, who started five games for the Houston Texans last season. Mack's best year came in 2001 with the Jacksonville Jaguars, when he started 11 games and rushed for 877 yards. No signing was imminent, and the Redskins already have a crowded backfield with Ladell Betts, Rock Cartwright, Sultan McCullough and John Simon vying for two roster spots.

SkinsGuy Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 This is an interesting development. It may mean that Coach Gibbs and the Redskins are not comfortable with the RB situation behind Portis and Betts. Yes, I'm A$$-U-ME_ING Betts will make the team. But even he may be one of the reasons that they took a look at Mack. They may be worried about how healthy he can stay. Even if they don't sign Mack, this possibly doesn't bode well for the other backs trying to make the team. They must not be satisfied with what they have behind Portis and Betts.

halter91 Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Mack would be a okay back for short yardage. Unfortunately the Rock, hasn't show much this preseason. I guess Gibbs is trying to get a Diesel to go along with his Supercharger(Portis) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsLegacy44 Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I think he worked out for the Gints too. I think its a wise move if we can get him @ vet min, or near so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgunner Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 It looks like the hit that Rock took against the Rams is serious and Gibbs wants some beef. Mack is very servicable back. He has a nose for the end zone and can wear down a defense late. If he can stay healthy, we could have a player here.:logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas-Born Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 This whole thing, that is probably non-news, does remind me a little of the Gerald Riggs signing (somehting like 90 or 91). Gibbs wants someone who on occasion can be a sledge hammer. Mack might be able to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySkin Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Our RBs are weak. Bunch of pushovers. We need a big back that the wind can't knock down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF4L Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Originally posted by TankRizzo I don't know why they had Rock lose weight. Wasn't that a Rock decision to convert himself from a FB to a RB to be more versatile in Gibbs' offense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afparent Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Shouldn't we have offered him a contract by now? Maybe he stunk up the tryout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF4L Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 If we are looking to sign a new RB, a RB who we think is a lock to make the roster, is going bye-bye. Looks like Joe aint happy with his current options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coloradoskin Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I know some of you like Rock but he is just too small and not fast enough. Betts looks good as the 2nd guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakofthesouth Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 He may have done this simply to light a fire under some a$$es. Whether or not that will make a difference, I don't know. We do need a big, short yardage back. There is no question there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I love it. The more pounders, the better. If Rock makes this team, it'll be on special teams. Watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADF Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I think Mike Sellers would be an effective short yardage back, if that is what they are looking for. Also, I don't think Portis would have a problem getting a yard in short yardage. The guy seems to be able to fit through the smallest holes.

Whiskeypeet Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I think Mike Sellers would be an effective short yardage back, if that is what they are looking for. That's a great point. I wonder why this hasn't been considered. Of course, maybe they have considered it and realized that Sellers is a terrible runner? He's obviously big enough, and I believe he has decent speed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate running the asylum Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 posted on August-29th-2004 06:57 PM by Spanishomellete "Where the hell is inmate with Stacey Mack's stats and injury status? Huh?" Here I am Omellete. At least someone besides Jboomer, appreciates my football analysis. :laugh: http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/134327/gamelogs/2001 Well I got news for you guys. Assuming that Stacey Mack is healthy, he is not just a big, short-yardage back. He was actually a decent starter back in 2001 after Fred Taylor got injured. He started and had THREE STRAIGHT 100-yard games and an overall 4.4 yard rushing average. Which is very good. He is also younger (29) then I thought he was. As a big tough guy, he would definitely be an asset, if he is healthy and in shape. If so, I would like to see the Skins sign him. I've been disappointed with ALL the Skins backs in preseason, except Portis and of course Betts we haven't seen much of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishomelette Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Never disappoints does he? :laugh:...I thought I read from the Giants workout blurbs that he wasn't in football shape... edit: I did read it in this thread: Originally posted by Runs with Scissors cdmsports.com "The Giants have put their pursuit of signing Stacey Mack (RB) Hou. on hold for now, according to the New York Daily News.
