I'm saying if an Alstott type back exists, you take him.

But yes, I agree, a Jacobs back is ideal. And they're not hard to find. I would argue this back would make Charles a lot better than another lightning back. It saves a smaller back from the beating of goal line carries and the "Steelers Way" has always been to hit you in the face with a big back early and then let your quick back run all over your tired defense in the second half.

There have been some rumours that the Bills want to trade Marshawn Lynch

If they start calling themselves "thunder and Lightning", just ****ing shoot me.

Oh yeah, Brandon Jacobs sucks ass.

Thunder. Pssh.
You may have a point. But, hail and lighning doesn't sound right. :D

Perhaps the combo of Cox and Castille can fill the "thunder" role and pick up 20% of the carries? Excuse me, I meant the "hail" role. (for Rainman)

But it'd be way scarier.

But, he can't handle 80+% of the carries. He's too slight of build. Haley needs to invest in a good, big, bruising RB. Charles could take about 65% of the carries, the thunder back could take 25% of the carries and everyone else can account for the other 10%. I think Charles would be more effective by not shouldering the entire load. We want him to last the entire season, not have a great first 10 games and then get worn out or injured.

Thoughts?
Completely agree.

I think a guy I have my eye on in about round 3 would be perfect but...too many holes on this team. :hmmm:

Toby Gerhart is alot like Allstot. But I think the pick that would have to be used to get him could be better spent filling a starter role rather than a situational role.

The problem with finding a FB is the position is becoming extinct.

I would like to see another RB in the rotation, preferably a bruiser.

I'm not sure why its necessary to have a "thunder". Is it really that much better to have one big and one small RB, as opposed to 2 smaller RBs?

"Big" backs might have an advantage at the goal-line, but nothing that can't be given to the FB, or hell give it to a TE if power is all thats necesary. No need to waste the roster spot for a goal-line specialist RB.

We had one "thunder" already, and he got cut with his 2.7 yard average.

How about LenDale White with the Titans? I believe is a UFA, though I could be wrong. With FA a potential bust this year being uncapped, I'd prefer to utilize the draft with the obvious holes that we have.
