Again, I propose this question, should 2-3 of our RBs get hurt, and we are down to the last guy or 2, do you really want that guy to be Vadet? Ivory has started meaningful NFL games and proved his worth. Who cares how he has played this preseason. They know what he can do

They know he fumbles too much...lacks good blocking skills and gets hurt alot. They also know that he can flat out steam roll a guy.

Cadet? He's young...making rookie mistakes and not running hard between the tackles. They have also seen great moves in the open field and a multi talented guy.

I just don't think the position is settled at all. With Thomas back I think they can go with only one fullback.

Tanner and Roby have a real shot. Will be fun to watch along with the 0-line B.U. position battle.

Bring on a home game. Finally!

This is important and gets overlooked alot. However, I don't think they fill that extra FB spot with a RB. They go DB on that spot.

Also, the Saints will be cutting a decent LB. Probably a 2-string player for most teams.

I'm saying that because Chamberlain came in for Hawthorne and had a good game. Also, preseason super star, Casillas was all over again. Man, this dude needs to stay healthy. He was making plays everywhere and meeting RBs in the hole on more than one occasion.

People keep saying this but it's not correct. Watch clips from the Dallas in '10 & the season finale against Carolina & you will see Ivory is very solid in his blitz pick ups. He's been solid in several other games but those are ones that stick out in my head.
