I heard an NFL offensive lineman once describe having picked up a fumble that he tried to advance. He went on & on about how unbelievable painful it was getting hit; he said he literally couldn’t conceive of how RBs do it over & over.
That little HB from Oregon would make a great change-of- pace from Martin, & he is projected to go in the 4th or 5th round.

why does joe try refer to the bucs as a trendsetter for hiring schiano? The niners and the success of jim harbaugh is what started this trend

It’s easier to deliver a hit then to receive a hit.

Dougie can handle the load, feed the beast.

He’s pretty elusive/evasive aswell, good at preserving his body whilst in the chaos.

DB was small for an LB and played with the same engine as LD and he lasted much longer than 4 years.

LD is the real deal

4ever:

Not that simple. Linebackers aren’t getting beat up each play by half the team (or more). As Warrick Dunn once said, every play he’s getting hit, he’s getting the hardest hit from defenders they have, and unlike most players, when a ballcarrier touches the ball, he is getting hit from all angles, all sides, all areas of his body.

Again, this is straight from Warrick Dunn’s lips.

Just look at the average time served for running backs. In fact, just look at Cadillac Williams.

Sure, Martin may be the next Walter Payton. He just as easily could be the next Cadillac. Why take such a huge gamble, expensive gamble of his candle being burned out shorter than it should/could be?

Schrager: “Lavonte David in college was so short and so small; he didn’t look like an NFL linebacker.”

For all of you and including Joe, who are so concerned over D. Martin’s carries, take a close look at L. David. He’s an undersized sideline to sideline play every down tackling machine. At this rate, will he last 4 years? We don’t know, right? Nor does it even matter because we never think about that. After all he’s just a LB, right?

But we’re always fascinated with the RB and how many times they get the ball. Like we’re more concerned about them because they are so fragile compared to our best LB hurling his body into players 25lb + his size.

The funny thing is, if you ask any RB how many times they want the ball, they will say, as much as they can get it, especially behind this offensive line. …You can’t get to the HOF if you’ve only got pedestrian numbers..

I say if Doug wants 25 carries a game, then try to get it to him. “saving his treads” takes one of our best players out of the game. You don’t see Lavonte sitting down on defensive plays.
