    Can someone please tell me who is going to start at the runningback position this year? Is it going to be ancient Curtis or an untested back-up?

    we'll find out....at least his entire line should be better, and well...the entire team should be better coached and actually in shape (i mean i know curtis and some were, but a lot of guys were not in shape on the team last year)

    Unfortunately, I think we will see a Curtis-Blaylock-Houston platoon. Hopefully they'll do better this year behind our new and improved O-Line.

    LoL. Because two rookies without a right tackle will make it instantly improved.

    last year i believe everyone raved the blaylock signing...so now, after an injury riddled year by the rb and the line that blocks for him, we DISMISS his 5YR contract!!??? cmomn guys think a little like business men man

    not that he's a starter, but a 10-15 guy with cmart

    Do you guys have any sense. Good Olines lead to producing Running Backs. Curtis Martin has a couple years left in him last year he played through a knee injury and we also have Cedric Houston who looks pretty solid to share carries so Curtis doesnt have to take that many. With this Oline RB is not a big need in the draft now.

    curtis martin will be more than servicable next year. please remember he was the leading rusher 2 years ago and injured last year.

    or are you just looking for a reason to complain?

    I'm guessing you don't really like Adrian Jones, do you?

    Leon Washington is still on the board. We really screwed up this draft by not taking a RB on day 1.

    You're guessing wrong. I've just come to the realization that we have two guys destine to play left tackle and none to play right.

    Curtis Martin will start, but Houston & Blaylock/another draftee will share carries

    Yes. Our O-line was terrible last year. We just spent our 2 first round picks on O-line. Hopefully they can open up some holes for Curtis unlike last year.

    Martin probably has one more effective year in him and then it's pasture time.
