Jeremy Green - ESPN Chat on Deuce

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.
