man that would be a tough one to pass on... i mean i know we have alot of depth at RB but white at 34 is a steal... in my opinion he is the best nfl prototype back.... big bruising and he does has some speed... not alot but enough and he is a TD scoring machine...i guess it would be if we are taking BPA or if we are going for need... but they say that BPA is better... so

It depends on what we do with the first pick or two (if we get the Jets' #29). I wouldn't want Williams and then RB or Leinart then RB. It's tough. Might get a nice offer for that pick if another team falls in love with him, but the value is there, even with a torn hamstring. Hard to say

Take him. Duce is the only inbetween the tackles runner we got.
You hear about weight issue now. Oh my god he is 245 now not 235. Is this a sign of his lack of heart?
This kid played at 245 - 255. Injury has limited his workouts, so what. Drop in a tape and watch him. he will not be there at 34. I will find the link, i hope, interview with white and this stupid wieght issue drummed up by espn (I bet)

But White suggested that he actually weighed far more, 252 pounds, for the Rose Bowl national championship game against Texas.
In his three college seasons, White carried 541 times for 3,159 yards and 52 touchdowns. He also added 31 receptions for 331 yards and five touchdowns. A strong runner between the tackles and bullish when he got into the secondary, he ran for more than 1,000 yards in both 2004 and 2005 and was a perfect complement to the more elusive Bush.

i'll let you know my feelings once he officially runs a 40.

pakowitz · 04-14-2006, 09:09 AM

i dont really care about his 40 time... he isnt a breakaway type of guy he is a hit the hole drag the pile guy for about 5 yards...

hagan714 · 04-14-2006, 09:13 AM

Whats bad about that? If the hole is opened, something our backs have not seen in years, he is gone for that 40 before those tiny secondary guys have to gang tackle him.

i'm not a guy that hangs on measurables, people knocked michael clayton for his 40, but we all knew his football speed was faster than that, because we watched him for years at LSU. White has avoided an official recorded 40 time for his entire college career, makes me want to see it even more, if that makes any sense.
