    with a surge like that, brinkley's bound to attract attention. i like his size/weight/speed combo, though. kinda reminds me of MJD on the jags, just a little taller and not quite as fast.

    i think both of the clemson boys have shots at being decent backs, though davis fits as a change of pace compared to harrison while spiller's a similar back.

    @ aloysius: ward's got considerably less wear and tear on him, though. dude's got 290 career carries. jamal's easily exceeded that in every season he's played.

    True. But he's also a guy who's had Stallworth-like injury problems. Just in the past couple years, he's fractured his foot, broken his leg, and dealt with nagging ankle & groin injuries.

  • and, again, cross another guy off the list. building an NFL team around brittle players is a recipe for having your fourth-stringers out there all the time.

    he's been okay as the third rotational guy, but that's all he can be. we're not even rotating two right now.

    With a year or two bulking up on the p-squad, Howling could be our own Kevin Faulk.

    Howling's probably going undrafted...right? LeSean McCoy pretty much stole his gig at Pitt for the last couple of seasons, but I remember him (Howling) killing us a few seasons ago (who hasn't though, really).

    🙂

    Yeah, Howling should be a UDFA. I was watching Pitt to look at McCoy and one of their LB's (Scott McKillop), and Howling was the guy who impressed me the most.

    On one play near the goal line, he stopped a blitzing ILB by just throwing his entire body at the guy, completely neutralizing him. It reminded me of when

    , only Howling's hit was more gutsy.

    You could tell that the coaching staff was impressed, as they gave Howling the ball on the following play.

    Plus, he's (Ward's) not going to come cheap.

  • We need a Wide Receiver not another RB!

    get rid of Stallworth he is a BUST!

    I've been enamored with

    and
    from Clemson for awhile now, but they aren't really "in-the-rough" as it were...

    Alo, if we're looking for a real "diamond-in-the-rough" kinda RB, look no further than Syracuse's own Curtis Brinkley.

    Brinkley became the second running back in school history to rush for 100 yards in five straight games, and the first one to do it in a single season. Joe Morris had a five-game stretch spanning two seasons in his career, but no Syracuse back — not Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Floyd Little or Larry Csonka — ever had a streak like Brinkley's.

    And I'm pretty sure guys like Brown, Csonka, Davis, Little, Joe Morris, etc., played on much better teams. 🙂

    Just watched some of the Syracuse-USF game from earlier this year, and I was really impressed by Brinkley. He seems to have great vision & looked good as a receiving option out of the backfield.

    The major knocks against him seem to be size (5'9", 205 lbs.) and long speed (he may be a mid-4.5's guy).

    nfldraftscout projects that he won't be drafted. If that ends up being the case, I'd love for us to bring him in as a UDFA. In many ways, he's a similar type of player to Jerome Harrison (though Harrison's a little faster & Brinkley has a tougher running style).

  • At 5'9", 205 lbs. and in the 4.5's, there's no way he's getting drafted.

    Do you remember a fellow SU RB named James Mungro? He was roughly the same size as Brinkley, and was a pretty decent #3 RB (behind James/Rhodes) and short-yardage/goal line guy for the Colts for a couple of years, despite his size. They (Brinkley and Mungro) strike me as very similar backs.

  • Yeah, I like that comparison better than Harrison. The comparison I thought of making before Harrison was Tony Temple, but I didn't want to compare Brinkley to someone who couldn't make it onto an NFL roster.

    From the little that I've seen, Brinkley definitely seems like the kind of guy who could carve out a Mungro-like niche for himself in the NFL.

    If we sign LaRod Stephens-Howling or Brinkley after the draft, I'll be very pleased.

  • I'm with you...there is generally value to be had with these UDFA and late-round RB's. They can generally play the 3rd RB role very, very nicely.

    Thing is, we need a STUD as well, with Lewis being shot and Wright/Harrison (though I like Harrison as a complimentary/Sproles type) not fitting the profile.

  • theres reports that Rashads styock is rising!

    Monday Practice Notes: Turned in a terrific performance. Had a burst, showed strength in his running and did well in blocking drills. Also made a tremendous catch in full scrimmage. Displayed a complete game and really stood out.

    Yes, and Rey's is falling.

    Are you still for Rey?

    guns don't kill kids-pitt bulls do.

  • Yeah, Im still for Rey.....

    Rey and Rashad rounds 1 & 2!

    I think that this senior bowl week will hit him as a reality check and he will work his ass off for the combine and really shine.

    But this is about Rashad people, I posted this months ago and its coming to fruition!!! I really hope we draft him.

  • Did anyone see Jennings came in second in the bench press for running backs. 29 reps!!

    Im excited for that 40.... I waiting for that 4.45! Its coming...

  • Jennings made some money today...so did Andre Brown
