For the record, I agree with you on Green, which is why I didn't include Slayton. I thoguht about including him, but I agree that when Green is healthy the offense clicks better. They need a compliment back to go with Slayton to keep him from wearing down. You can argue that Green was a mistake, but that is a completely seperate discussion.

I dissagree. IMO with an fresh Slayton this offense clicks better. We are definatly a more dangerous offense with Slaton.

You bolded the wrong part of Cadams' post. Right after what you bolded to disagree with, he says that Green's value is as a compliment to slaton to keep slaton fresh. Read the whole post next time and you may realize you don't actually disagree.

I think you guys are all right. Slaton is the man. He is helped out and performs best when Green can take some of the carries off his shoulders to keep him fresh. This should be a priority next year in the draft (I know...one of about a hundred we have). I hope we spend a 3rd/4th on a back who can be our short yardage/big back complement to slaton.

And I seriously don't know what young guys you want playing. We already start a rookie at RB, LT, LB. All of whom started for us in their first healthy month in the NFL. We start a safety who was hurt for his 1st year and is in his rookie campaign in year two. Additionally, Dominique Barber got healthy and has immediately seen playing time. Doesn't look like a problem playing young guys to me. Looks like a problem with what they see from Molden in practice.

You are correct. The offense clicks better because green can take some of the load and adquately perform, which helps keep slayton fresh. I agree with your last sentence as well. If they can pick up a solid one cut and go rb in the 3rd or 4th round next year that weighs in somewhere in the 220-235 range that would be perfect.
