  • Blount has 0% chance of being a Brown with Mangini's system.

    Gerhart would be a great compliment to Harrison/Davis with one of our extra late seconds/third.

    Plus, he went to Stanford. That definitely fits the Mangini mold.

    I wouldn't say 0%, but i agree it is probably pretty low.

    Another back i like who isn't on the list is Montareo Hardesty of Tn....I think he will be a pretty good pro back

    Your statement doesn't make sense at all

    that's because it was supposed to be taken as a joke. we have tons of guys from top 25 programs. i thought that was obvious.

    Maybe we should go for someone from a non Top 25 program. Some of our best runners in history have not been top 25:

    Jim Brown, Syracuse (though that program had a bigger profile in his day than it does now), Leroy Kelley, Morgan St., Marion Motley spent time at both South Carolina St. and the University of Nevada. Mike Pruitt went to Purdue (more of a QB than a RB school). Of course Greg Pruitt went to Oklahoma which is certainly big time. Ernest Byner went to East Carolina. Kevin Mack went to Clemson. Jamal Lewis went to Tennessee. So, a good RB can come from just about anywhere.

  • No doubt Gipper....but in the modern era..recruiting is much more refined..not as many gems fall through the cracks to smaller schools.

  • Here is a few clips of Stiller

  • That video makes spiller look like football jesus

    We are a point to where we cant pass on a guy like this if he is available, we need playmakers.
