    Glenn who? Had not heard of him. Had no idea he was on 53 man roster. Mind boggling that we are carrying three rookie RBs on the active roster.

    And does not appear Glenn is a Special Teamer of any note... 0 tackles anyway...

    Amazing that Farmer refers to, if not quotes, Walter... twice...

    - " Patrick Peterson, 'He's a bust, he's not good enough.' "

    - "At the time we took him, there was a lot of discussion as to who Joel Bittonio was and why did we pick him over someone else."

    we're carrying 4 RB's?

    How bout trading one of those or releasing one to free up a spot for a 4th OLB'er? We need one more guy in that rotation although I personally would love to see what Armonty would do out there.

    Not to hijack the thread with Johnny, but he made a great, running, one-handed grab on that toss from Hoyer. The guy is so athletic, I am up for using him anyway we can.

    On an aside, I think Johnny should be holding on kicks too.....why not?.....I bet he coulda run that botched snap in.....and he opens a LOT of doors for 2 point conversions and fake FG's cause he can run and throw.....

    Tale of the Tape

    Taylor Gabriel, 5,8 167 lb, 4.4 40 time, trips and falls down when he catches balls.

    Johnny Manziel, 6'0 210 lb, one handed grabs in stride with plenty of YAC

    Do we have the wrong guy as our #3 receiver?

    I thought of that too, especially after seeing Spencer Lanning's running skills and bobbled holds.

    Johnny is smarter than Tebow. He just wants to get on the field any way he can...

    Who let the DAWGS out??

    Because he'd bail on the play too quickly?

    Because he hasn't gotten to the "placeholder" section of the playbook yet?

    Just spitballin' here... 😉

    I see this topic went sideways. I for one want to see what we can do with him...If pettine thinks he has more talent then the babybacks...could be interesting down the road.

    I saw a few clips of him in preseason. One game he hit the hole and took it to the house for like 30 yards.

    (edit) here it is...http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap3000000383224/Winston-27-yard-touchdown-run

    Nothing fancy, but its nice to see a back hit a hole hard and not tap dance around...

    Good size. Good pickup off another teams practice squad. Probably wouldn't have been on their practice squad if they didn't have Gore AND Carlos...

    I don't really think carrying 4 RB with Ben Tate on the roster is a bad thing. Tate didn't make it out of the first game, so if Crowell or West goes down, you are down to one back without him.
