Can't argue against what you believe, milk, but Greene and Battle will at least have goal line duty. This is not an assumption, it is fact. Plus there's the McCluster factor in the passing game. That's a lot for a rookie to overcome...especially a non-first rounder.

Gerhart is entrenched as the every down back who has backups, not a goal line specialist, or Sprolesy type 3rd down guy. It's all his unless he fails.

So, like I said, can't argue if you'd rather open the box...I'll take the prize I can see.

One things for sure...

Gerhart WILL BE blocking for Sankey heading into the weakside tackle hole at some point in time..

ummmm, what?!?!
They play on different teams. Gonna be hard to even find a time when they would both be on the field at the same time, since they are both on offense as well. Don't see Gerhart throwing any blocks for the Titans this year, but hey, maybe he will in the future?

I don't blame the guy - I get the Jags and Titans confused all the time lately; forgettable AFC South teams with quiet fan bases.

Speaking of which, if Spiller is traded I'd look for him to land somewhere in the AFC South outside of Texas.

Damn Will, you too? Earlier this year I thought Toby would be a good fit with the Titans.............and unfortunately I'm not kidding.

Been thinking a lot on Gerhart thinking he could be a good value, so I started doing mocks with all kinds of rankings.....................not once has dude got out of the 3rd round................so I'd say if you want him that's about what you're gonna be spending on him.

From what I've seen. .I do believe he doesn't think Sankey will be a #1.. thus the other guys may not need to rise and be a #1, rather just do more with what they get. And I have a hard time arguing against that given the presence of Greene and Battle... which is the single biggest reason I like Toby over Sankey.


How many chances does Greene need?

What back to back seasons of 1K+, and 6-8 TD's doesn't warrant at least a fighting chance against an unproven, largely untouted, rookie RB?


Those came with the jets and the jets ran it more than not he should have had more yards than 1k considering the team he was on.

That's a helpful Hammer.

I read that article as "he isn't there yet" and a public wake-up call.

Maurice Jones-Drew Game By Game Stats and Performance - Oakland Raiders - ESPN

This is what I mean. Even against the colts at home he only got 2 fps. Yes some of them were good run defenses but look how he played on the road against some better run defenses? Gerhart may get 20 against the redskins week 2 and then 5 against the colts week 3. I want a first round bye its hard to take a chance on a guy who will not be there for you every week and I take this guy over someone like, say, Cobb or JThomas. I hate saying it but I question the heart of jaguars fans.

Now I don't want Sankey either.

And Cobb can get 5 one week and 20 the next. . Same for Jthomas.. In fact. . Same for every single player available. . Some have a higher probability of not doing that. . But really.??? You turn to the old man who hasn't had cartilage in either of his knees for over 2 years now as some sort of evidence?

WHAT!?!?!? I haven't done a mock in a while, and maybe we are just doing different leagues (Im on ESPN), but Gerhart is usually going in the 6th to 7th round. People drafting him in the third round are dumb.

These aren't mocks I've done against people but census rankings on Fantasypros.........................btw, I stole this from Joe but check out his ADP.................unless he gets hurt I'll bet you his ADP moves into the middle of the 3rd............

That's crazy. I would take Matthews, Gore, Jennings, Sankey, Rice, and maybe even Richardson before I would take Gerhart. I also think CJ Spiller is very overrated.

He's gonna be a bell cow and can catch balls too....................but he doesn't seem to be the value I was hoping for at that ADP. Not a fan of Spiller either.............................
