haraldjun Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 could the draft of manuel white be the answer to the search of gibbs for a new hauler like davis was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Sigh. Okay. So, the Skins draft a QB and Ramsey could be done. The Skins draft 2 linebackers, so, maybe preparing for Lavar's departure and the other has really big arms so he's going to challenge Marshall. Draft 2 fullbacks and perhaps the entire rb corps is now at risk. That about cover it? And won't get into who the Skins didn't draft and what that means. :doh: Sigh again. Could be that White was drafted to try and play Hback. That's because, well, that's where Coach has moved him to and has him playing during the rookie camp.

Om Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 harald, Did you mean "mauler," by any chance, instead of "hauler?" If so, and if by that you're asking if maybe Gibbs is hoping to upgrade the short-yardage packages by adding a guy like White to be both a lead blocker and an occasional power back to carry the ball, then yes, I think that's a fair statement. If, on the other hand, you're asking if Gibbs is thinking of White as a new feature back to carry 300+ times like Davis did here, then I'd have to say no, I don't think that's probably something he has high on his list.

Mr. S Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 and I guess we're going to release Portis after June 1st, 2006 right, just like Lavar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cskin Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I think he identified the inability to convert 3rd and 1s and punching the ball into the endzone for 6 as a weakness of the offense and one that needed immediate attention. Having said that, indentifying to guys with bulk who run hard and can move piles and drafting them in round 4 and round 7 seems like a good use of the draft. I still expect Portis to carry the load, but I also see his carries lessening the closer we get to the five yard line. If Portis is going to want 10-15 touchdowns a year... he's going to have to take a number of those carries in from the 10 yard line and out.

js161 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 everyone is saying Rock is gone, what about Sellers? He made some bad plays last year and some poorly timed penalties. I also believe he is the backup H-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
