Originally posted by homeless simpson View Postif Mathews gets dinged or has to miss games, Brown as the next guy up doesn't really feel like we'll be able to rely on the run game all that much. if that's the case then I'd much rather give those carries to any of the other young RBs we already have in camp (or a street vet in the season). We're already going young in our other units, why not the #2 rb spot?

Originally posted by Den60 View PostI'm not saying I would have done it this way. When we signed Woodcockhead I thought that spelled the end of RB here. Then we signed him too, giving us two 3rd down backs. Right now I don't see anyone on the roster better suited to be a relief back for Mathews than Brown. Hopefully, Mathews stays healthy this year.

No surprises. Although at the beginning of the offseason I don't think anyone could've predicted so little improvement at OL.

Originally posted by Den60 View PostI would say last year when he showed he was pretty good at it and lasted the whole season. I know you don't know shit about age but when you are over 30 and a RB in this league you are considered a short timer. The more you carry the shorter that time becomes.
Brown only has to hold up for backup duties; nobody thinks he's an every down back. If he hits 150 CARRIES (not touches) this season I'd be shocked. But my point is that he's a good BACKUP running back; not just a 3rd-down back. Age notwithstanding.
