Yep the Jed-Paraag-Baalke football genius triumvirate would never do anything smart or that would cost $$$...

what would be smarter? bringing in a washed up Westbrook?

we should definitely bring someone in, and I'm sure we will. but whoever that is will be a major long-shot to make the team. I expect us to bring in a young guy, an UDFA type guy as a potential PS player, not a #2 RB.

It's going to be a long season, if Frank gets hurt...we were led to believe that Coffee bulked up and was improving...we truly have no back-up at all now...

Really nothing terribly wrong with that IMHO. MRob isn't the long term answer, but if they keep those three at RB, maybe it opens an additional spot on the 53 man roster--maybe at WR, for example.

I'd love to see Ziggy suiting up on Sundays. Keep 3 RBs instead of 4, and 6 WRs instead of 5.

Crabs, Morgan, Ginn, KWilliams, Hill & Ziggy.

MRob could be a short term insurance if Gore should go down. Dixon needs time to get up to speed on pass protection, but shouldn't take forever.

MRob is excellent in pass protection, and good catching the ball out of the backfield. He may be better running behind an improved O Line. And he is a punishing runner, even if his vision and instincts have been lacking in the past. He might be ok in the short term, and we really haven't seen him perform as a RB since Rathman took over as RB's coach.

Maybe we'll see this Sunday.

Brian Westbrook

oh man, if Gore goes down, we're f**ked. But really, were we any less f**ked with Coffee backing him up?? Please bring in a Vet.

No worries bro, Alex Smith would just put the team on his back......

True, I didn't think Coffee was going to make much of a difference even if he did get playing time.

and if Gore goes down??? Don't you mean When? He has missed at least 2 games every season with a bum ankle.

If Smith goes down were f**ked too. Our back ups dont give me the confidence I need to guarantee we will will the division this year...

I think that's very possible. We could, potentially, keep 2 FBs now and still have 6 WRs. That's good news for Brit Miller.

I didn't wanna jinx us but I was praying during all of TC for Dixon to upseat Coffee (I had absolutely no faith in coffee). The Dude's mechanics were horrendous during the regular season. He blew the Vikings game for us, and a huge Allen Rossum KR against the s**thawks. (That f**king pissed me off all f**king season, even though it was Gore's 'mega-game'.)

Coffee barely made a TD against the Falcons, it was pitiful (as was that entire game).
