Default Would you like Green-Ellis in stripes?

I think this guy could be really good. He's dependable and doesn't fumble. If we go to a RB by committee and we don't get a good RB in the draft, I'd take this guy.

System back.....we can do better.

A lot of ordinary backs would look good behind NEs line mostly facing nickel defenses.

Nothing he does is above average IMO except maybe breaking tackles.

He's never fumbled. He'd be a good/great RB in RB-by-committee type system. He's also decent at picking up the blitz.

No, he's not glitzy. He just gets the job done more often than not is all I'm saying.

I don't know. I don't think he's anything special. But I hope we do something through F/A. If there's any team that could or should make a few bold moves - We are that team.

Yes. I would take him over Bush and Tolbert as apart of RB committee. He is younger, cheaper and has championship experience. Would fit nice with Miller/Wilson/Pead which ever one we draft.

I would rather have bush....new England ran the ball sparingly so I wouldn't feel strong about him getting 20+ carries....bush is a bruiser

Would love the see The Law Firm in stripes to go with a smaller back from the draft.

When I watch him he seems average at best. He has every advantage in the world in that offense, great Oline, QB, defense always looking pass...

I do like that he doesn't fumble, but I think that's all he would give us over Benson, he seems to lack explosiveness (hence why he's losing more and more carries to guys like Woodhead).
