Is Troy Hambrick or Sherman Williams available?
Newman and Jenkins were both pro bowl level talents (admittedly Newman had underperformed for most of his career) that were wildly inconsistent under Campo. If they were consistently mediocre it's be one thing, but they were everywhere from amazing to not worthy to wear an NFL uniform. That points to bad coaching. Lets not pretend Sanders technique was not perfect, he was an athletic marvel but a little undisciplined, He couldn't tackle worth a shit either.What I am saying is he didn't have much to work with. And in addition, what I will repeat is how players perform is not the only criteria for judging a coaches ability. If you buy that then I will point you to the Sanders era. Does that define Campo?
Okay then continue with the mentality that everything is stupendious or bust . Also known as sensational or suck with no objective middle ground. There doesn't seem to be any other approach for some. To me however, everything isnt that cut and dried.Newman and Jenkins were both pro bowl level talents (admittedly Newman had underperformed for most of his career) that were wildly inconsistent under Campo.

Sure, but if he can average 4.2 behind the Titans line, what would he average here? You're not signing him to be a 1200 yard back. You're signing him as part of a committee. If you can get a 100 carries and 420-450 yards I'd say you're pretty happy. If your target is for an elite starter, well you'll never find a target. But can he be a change of pace to Williams/Randle I think absolutely.And the 2 years prior to last season I believe Green was below 4ypc. We're setting the bar pretty low if that's our target.
What choices does Dallas have, really? Not much out there.And the 2 years prior to last season I believe Green was below 4ypc. We're setting the bar pretty low if that's our target.
Is everyone giving up on the current group of RBs before the season starts? I think Dallas may need help at that position but i also think there may be a couple of productive backs in the group now.What choices does Dallas have, really? Not much out there.
Nope, just think we could use a RB that is more of a power runner to mix with the guys we currently have.Is everyone giving up on the current group of RBs before the season starts?

It's really hard to believe in them, LT.Is everyone giving up on the current group of RBs before the season starts? I think Dallas may need help at that position but i also think there may be a couple of productive backs in the group now.
Take a bit to look at our defensive back play during Campo's tenure. Would it be unfair to say that we hit all time lows for the franchise? Because the stats back that up. Look at our 2010 defense. Look at 2010, the same players behind a damn decent 2009 defense got blown up by everyone. 2011 was really no better, Newman looked like he got on the field as part of make a wish foundation. Frankly the body of work the defensive backs put up during Campos tenure from 2008-2011 shows empirically that he was a bad coach.Okay then continue with the mentality that everything is stupendious or bust .

I agree with this. Obviously we're rolling the dice, and could probably use another guy, but we're no worse off than when we were throwing together a lineup of old jets and UDFAs during Parcells' first few years.Is everyone giving up on the current group of RBs before the season starts?

Except it doesn't work like that. Different circumstances, a year older, and especially if he's mostly going to be used to get the dirty yards.Sure, but if he can average 4.2 behind the Titans line, what would he average here?

I'd rather go with what they have. Wait and see who maybe gets cut in camp, or maybe a trade scenario opens up.What choices does Dallas have, really? Not much out there.
McFadden is already injured and TC hasn't even started. Do we really expect McFadden, Williams, and Dunbar to all remain healthy in a run-first offense on a team that expects to be playing meaningful games in January? Seems unlikely.I'd rather go with what they have. Wait and see who maybe gets cut in camp, or maybe a trade scenario opens up.
I want no part of a guy who probably won't be better than what we have.
Trust me you are preaching to the choir. Green is not the guy though.McFadden is already injured and TC hasn't even started. Do we really expect McFadden, Williams, and Dunbar to all remain healthy in a run-first offense on a team that expects to be playing meaningful games in January? Seems unlikely.

The difference is Chris Johnson is repetitive. He doesn't really bring anything new to our RB group. What we lack on the roster is a a workhorse style back that can pound out the tough yards. I guess you could argue that Chris Johnson is better then any RB we have on the roster but if it's the Chris Johnson the Titans had in 2013 I would disagree.Except it doesn't work like that.

My target is as good as we can get. That's not Green. I'd rather take a stab at Chris Johnson, at least he has a chance at being above average.

If you're really going with a RB by committee approach then I like the idea of bringing in a powerful RB to mix with Randle.
