Sproles has been a stud, I didn't see this coming

Yeah, me either. I had him as an RB 3 for me just due to PPR but he has exceeded expectations.

Sproles is making me easily forget Bush.,

N/S runner when he gets the ball..

The problem with Bush is that he is Sproles but no one has ever treated him like Sproles - a 3rd down, change of pace back. Because Bush was the 2nd overall pick the Saints felt obligated to try and make him a feature back. Bush's best year was his first year when the Saints relied on Deuce to be the real running back and Bush to be the change of pace 3rd down back.

He played a lot in the slot that year, no?

the Saints never really tried to make him the feature back.

The first year kind of laid the blueprint. He was used like that the rest of his time in New Orleans.


his main problem is he ran sideways too much. And his body type isnt conducive to the NFL. HE is built like a WR(short torso, long legs, long striders) and just isn't strong enough to be a NFL RB.

In year 2 they did, of course it was partly due to Deuce going down.

I think after year 2 they realized he couldn't shoulder the load but no way was he drafted #2 overall as a scat-back.

And Tommy Hanson's violent throwing motion will result in TJ.

yea, by default.

He wasn't, but they realized that pretty quick.

but it is true, how many RBs are built like him? it sounds goofy but his legs really are too long to be a RB. Couple that with his slight build and its a no-go.

Not interested in addai or Pierre.

You are sitting on stafford...you don't need a hr to move him imo.

i dont think Foster is a HR, his injuries concern me as well as Tate's emergence. But it is a gamble i could take in my position.


what about Turner? untouchable?


that is probably the only other guy i would be interested in to center a deal around.
