Why was he cut again?

Got beat out by Anderson, Hillman and Juwan Thompson. Team supposedly really likes Kapri Bibbs on their practice squad

He ran behind a huge and hugely talented O-line at Wisc. in a run oriented offense (see Ark. now). Overrated back.

Well.....maybe we should stick to taking RBs from Oklahoma and Cal. Four of the Top Ten RBs likely come from those two schools:

Marshawn Lynch/Justin Forsett: Cal

Adrian Peterson/DeMarco Murray: Oklahoma

Leveon Bell: Mich. St.

LeSean McCoy: Pitt

Matt Forte: Tulane

Alfred Morris: Florida Atlantic

Arian Foster: Tennessee

Frank Gore: Miami Fla.

Eddie Lacy: Alabama

(we sure as hell do not want to rely on Alabama RBs....they have the same issues as Wisconsin RBs.)

For a third running back I want a guy that wants to play special teams, is familiar with our playbook and knows the blocking assignments if called into action ... So I think Draughns is a better fit than Ball.

If we are considering veterans.....how about this bunch:

Steven Jackson

Knowshon Moreno (if back from injury)

Ahmad Bradshaw

George Winn

Can any of these be worse than signing Ray Rice?

Bradshaw maybe. But let's see how Crowell and Duke can do, with Draughn as backup.

All true....but still, it would nice to have an upgrade over Draughn.....though I am not sure there is a guy out there.

What is the story with Jay Ajayi......did he stick with who drafted him? ( or was he injured)

What I would like to see too-all the guys mentioned including Ball should be around in a few weeks if it doesn't work out. I really hope they add a 3rd RB though.

Unsympathetic

If nobody decent is waived and Crow/Johnson don't inspire confidence.. why not put together a package for Knile Davis?

Tim Couch Pulls Out

So we can officially close this thread then.
