Jerome Messam to have another surgery

I didnt think this guy would make the team even before his injury. I just dont see how he fits into our offense.
 
I think that's a shame. Could open the door for Jonas Gray to actually make the regular season roster right away instead of starting out on PUP first, though. I like Messam but he probably wasn't secure enough to survive this.

If Lex Hilliard is still out there you could see him re-signed.

Does anyone know the name of the college linebacker that we are trying to convert to fullack?

Ryan Lewis from Bethune-Cookman. I'm fairly certain he was just a tryout player and I don't remember him being signed

REALLY??? Name them. Better yet, let me start.

1) BUSH-topshelf scatback, and maybe a solid, true HB; but he didn't finish last season, and if MIAMI had made the Playoffs...!

2) DT--Couldn't stay healthy. Wasn't exactly stellar, even at 100%. Can't get into the endzone/in fact, lacks power, period. Bust?

3) SLATON--may be worn down already. Does a lot of things fairly well, but unfortunately, fumbling is one of them.

4) MILLER--Much like BUSH. Unknown quantity: a "college boy". But he MAY just be a steal...so, a keeper 'till we know for sure.

5) MESSIAM--From CANADA. Looks good on paper.More HB than FB, and has an injury problem. May be ok: forget HB/FB crap.

6) GRAY--Recovering from ACL tear, otherwise 'FINS don't get him at all. Runs w/authority, is versatile. Maybe a better DJ?

SO...

I see ONE known quantity, who is topshelf (R BUSH): unfortunately, he's a F/A next season!!! I also see two "question marks", who MAY be solid, but who are recovering from knee injuries. (MESSIAM and GRAY) And I see a potential "bust" who many are beginning to make excuses for (DT), and a retread (SLATON)...a castoff w/some mileage on him, who may/may not be good at all. And then, there's our "college boy"...who already has a shoulder issue, and doesn't seem to want to protect the football at all.

OK! So where are all those good HBs who grow on trees? I see ONE really solid HB, and a lot of "question marks".

Are you counting wishful thinking as "money in the bank? Or maybe just spewing a lot of "Homey sop"?

Ricky Williams was special back. We payed to much for his roller coaster career, but when he was in the game, we had the best RB on the field IMO.
Bush is special too, but I doubt he can be durable enough.
The Rest of our backs are unknown, injury prone, or journeyman.
 
fix the oline and we will have no issue in the running game IMO, i was referring to days where we had to trot out guys like cecil collins, jj johnson, john avery, mark higgs, etc, etc, etc. running backs are much easier to find these days
