we have a big decision to make in the off-season but i hope we can keep all 3 rb's due to injuries but i hope bush comes back.

lamar miller is impressing me with how he can find better holes in the inside then bush and he has the home run speed.
 
I think Miller will eventually replace Bush. Would you be happy if we drafted Montee Ball? and released Thomas

no i think Thomas is still a capable rb and i dont want to use a draft pick on a RB. we have much other and bigger concerns then drafting a rb imo.

Just sign a FA RB instead of drafting one. There are plenty of RB's that are equal to or better than Thomas.

you go into the season w/ miller and bush as the main backs. MIA becomes the Eagles. No inside running presence is not a good thing.

What are you taling about. Reggie can run inside just as good as anyone. NOw if you are referring to having a power back than you would be correct, and as I stated before we can grab almost any FA RB off the market and they would be just as good or better than DT

I'm just talking about a presence between the guards. Reggie is fine in some spot duty, doing it. But in those close games when you need that 2 yards, I just prefer a bigger back.

Hearing Goodson (sp) of SF, talk about how light Reggie was, didn't sit right with me. In certain situations and match ups, I still come from the school of thought of being able to dominate between the Guards.

As for DT, I seen him play here in Manhattan. And thought MIA was getting a good consistent back. Well 2 years in, and he's been consistent w/ fumbling and being hurt. One of which I thought he would fix and the other being foreign to him. After the season, if he's released for a more proven back, I will have no qualms with it.
 
Yeah, I was lamenting how much we missed DT today as Reggie and Miller looked horrible...NOT! Good riddance, DT. Whatever cap space we can open up by cutting you would be a bonus.
 
yeah miller looked like he had some strength running through the holes, was VERY impressed with him, like the bush+miller combo than a miller+thomas one
 
Daniel Thomas is nothing special. He's not explosive. He's not a short-yardage back. He doesn't run with power or punish defenders.

We could literally pickup any free agent RB working in a supermarket, and he could do the exact same thing as Daniel Thomas; average 3.5 yds/carry, then get hurt.

Why can't we just keep him? Neither his nor Millers contract are hurting us.
 
How about Thigpen for our 3rd running back. I haven't seen what Thomas brings that is special. He could be our 4th back for insurance, but he's too costly for that role.
