Jeremy Green - ESPN Chat on Deuce

lumm0x · 05-08-2007, 09:39 AM

Only one comment on Jeremy Green- idiot. Like someone said, the remark was his attempt to find a easy answer, which is more than likely the wrong one.

I pretty much agree with the consensus that Pittman was obtained to make Stecker obsolete. Aaron did a nice job when called upon for us, but there was not enough consistency or potential to keep him around.

But one thing comes to mind after all this discussion and that is Mike Karney. It seems we've evolved into more of a single back with a jack of all trades back. Karney doesn't seem to fit our current offense. We all remember the destruction he put upon the Cowboys when Payton utilized the one weapon he believed the Cowboys did not game plan for, but does he have a role with the current direction of our team? I think Mike is one of the best FB's in this league and likely will not be long for riding the pine hoping for a few downs a game where he lead blocks on short yardage.

I am curious to see how the FB position fits into Payton's plans and how Karney is utilized as a player.

Pittman will be key to HB rotation. THATS ALL. Do not go so far out there on the limb. This is great. If it works out Shawn can rest Duce with changing the game plan like last year. END OF STORY.

Has this been posted? He has flashes of greatness but I don't know too much about him. I have a friend who graduated from Ohio State and he gave me the thumbs up on Pittman. And just to add more to the Deuce post, if you think we are going to keep Deuce and Bush forever you are naive to what the salary cap was implemented for. There is no way we could afford 2 superstar RBs, and neither one deserve a pay cut so Pittman is our backup plan in 3 years when one of them will have to go.

I think Pittman is a great #3, he reminds me a lot of Warrick Dunn. Looks like a scatback, but is still tough between the tackles. Remember when Stecker fumbled against Baltimore? Or when Deuce came up limping against the Bears and we had basically no running game? They call him "Mr. Reliability" for a reason. Lots of scouts had him rated as the third best back in the draft. Trading a 5th rounder to get him is chump change.

Pittman pick???????? Well thats what the media is trying to figure out. So they are coming up with all kind of reasons. This is the sensational one. Thats all. Sports broadcasters try to get one right. forget about it.
Pittman we HOPE can not only be a third down back but a back that helps rest Duce and keep him fresh. We saw last year Bush is better used as a roving back. When he is in the back field it makes it to easy to key on him and match up with our other weapons. Duce and Bush on the field is best. We needed a back to come in and give Duce a break while not limiting the offense. Enter Pittman. Stecker can not be used in that role. I knew we would be getting a back to fill this need. Pittman by no means was the back I thought they would end up. I love the move. Shawn should be able to continue his game plain with or without Duce on the field.
Make no mistake Pittman is not Duce. Lets see what we got first before jumping the gun. Besides RB in the market place this year got squatt and could be had for the same.
