JOESAM2002 · 08-25-2003, 07:03 PM

Here's a short list of available running backs cut in the last few days.

Terry Kirby---Buccs
Rashaan Salaam---49er's
Fred Tally---Falcons
J.R. Redman---Pats
Michael Wiley---Cowboys
Luke Staley---Lions
Antoine Womack---Pats
Leon Johnson---Rams/Bears

These are just a few I found for you guys to kick around. See anyone that might help?

You know who has looked good this preseason and last is Leonard Henry of the Fins. With a roster like Williams, Edwards and Minor I can\'t see Henry battling his way up that depth chart. I have a friend who is a die hard Fins fan and he constantly talks about this guy so I\'ve watched him whenever I can.

Do we cut Keaton?

Keaton is gone as of today. I really hate to see it but he played more like Buster Keeton than Curtis Keaton. This kid has talant,I guess he just couldn\'t grasp the play book. It\'s a shame.

Here\'s another name Saints fans of old will remember, Henri Childs, son of the former Saints Tight end, was cut today by the Chiefs, he too is a running back.

Bring them all in for a look. I know that is not possible but the saints can\'t be too picky about seeing what some of these guys have. you never know when something in the saints sytem may click for one of them.

I would definitely give these a call.

Terry Kirby - as a 3rd down back his experience would be a plus ... if he can still play.
J.R. Redman - a younger player who may be able to be a fillin starter if Duece goes dows
Antoine Womack- I think he is injured but if not the pats have several good RB and this guy may have been an odd man out.

I will like for the saints to take a look at Skip Hicks

Can anyone tell me why J.R. Redman wouldn\'t be a better backup than what we have now?

Turbodog · 08-25-2003, 11:35 PM

apparently J.R. Redmond has not been too impressive in New England....I mean its not like The Pats Have that much talent that he had to beat out.......Antoine Smith is an average back and Kevin Faulk, who I will always be a fan of, is basically just a third down back.......Redmond has had opportunities to get playing time but he just hasn\'t produced...........

I say lets give Rashaan Salaam.....a shot.........Then we will have 3 first round draft picks at running back. Deuce, Ki-Jana, and Rashaan(Doesn\'t anybody give their kids normal names anymore)
too bad two of these guys are busts

I liked what I saw in Carter. He is an instant improvement over Keeton - that kid was a hack. Fenderson doesn\'t impress me in the least bit. The only thing that really worries me about Carter is his durability.
