    Very good news...Even if his play falls off a bit, it's only a 1-year deal.

    Smart move bringing him back, at least close to it.

    Hell, it's not like we asked him to carry the ball or catch it much out of the backfield. He may be aging, but he's got some blocking years left in him.

    Good move if we sign him. He was a big help to our run game and even had some nice carries when he was called upon.

    Yeah I agree this is a great move, I thought we might have to draft a fb on the second day somewhere but now we can focus more on what we really need which is filling out our defense

    The Fullback is a very important piece to a good strong power running game obviously. Get it done Tannenbaum.

    We needed a short yardage guy for years before we got him. Maybe this year we'll give him the ball in short yardage before Week 16.

    Seriously. Another bonehead mistake by Mangini and company.

    Hopefully we do sign him, and keep him around until he calls it quits. He did great last season when called upon.

    Solid move..now if we only kept Moore we'd have very good running chemistry.

    Not only is this guy an elite blocker but he also carried the ball well for us... I guess he hasn't been used much like that but when he got the call he did very well.

    Not one negative post above. That's how much this guy contributes.

    He was a good initial signing and we should keep him for now.

    Fuck yea! If were going to be a running team, this is the direction we need to go. Richardson certainly paves the way.
