    Because there is no salary cap?

    According to Fish through his presser at the Combine it sounds like Lendale will be back and will play a lot more.

    So the year we have several really good RBs available, we won't be involved. Thomas Jones, LT, Westbrook, Larry Johnson, Chester Taylor. Nice to be in the situation we're in. I see some good things coming out of our backfield this year.

    Not for the money. Any starter/backup combo in the league can average those type yards.

    I agree, LT and Sproles made a lot of money last year. Just compare what CJ and Lendale did in 08 while they were paid much less.

    Absolutely, I'm with you. But they're better than whats reflected on paper. No way I'd pay them two that $$ for that production. They're like the Colt's backs, good when really needed.

    If you haven't noticed, the owners are all about money which is why they never make huge changes. ie: Jeff Fischer has been the coach this whole century.

    Name all of the amazing return men that have led their teams to Super Bowls. Oh wait...they don't matter that much. Desmond Howard is the only one who comes to mind that played a big role recently. Yeah, a good returner helps and a bad one can hurt (esp. with fumbles). But it doesn't make or break a team.

    Carr worked out great for us and we'll find someone else who will do good and doesn't want to get paid like a starting RB. Getting Sproles or drafting Spiller for the main purpose of running back kicks is ridiculous. If they were going to split carries with CJ, then it makes more sense, but we need to address the D before worrying about returners.

    With a good return man we would have made playoffs in my opinion. We would have definitely beat the Jets. Playoffs matter a whole lot to me.
