I know some have him already in gores shoes for this year or next year , but i will count on nothing from him till i actually see him practice and prove he is ok
Cj Spiller? No way he makes in the NFX West. dude soft as cotton

Don't we already have a "scrub" to get us through camp - Jewel Hampton? I mean, he didn't see the playing field last year really but handled the load in preseason. I don't know why we need to spend more money on a position that, even with the loss of Hunter for the season and James for the preseason, we still have four running backs.

about 3 people today have back seat driven in regards to dixon today. not exactly a majority and it serves no purpose to revisit players you think you should have kept now that we have some injuries, in my opinion

I loved having Dixon on the team. He was/is versatile. Plays Special Teams, HB, and FB. That said, when we had to make a choice, we had equivalent and cheaper talent. He really progressed on his running during his time with us. I don't think it was a reasonable expectation to think we could keep him. Great guy, great team guy. I wish him the best when he's not playing us.

What I feel might hurt us the worse with not having Dixon is his pass protection experience. Sniffing and picking up the Blitz.
With Hunter gone and James not the most reliable pass protector (size/durability wise)... I just feel if the young RB struggle in pass protection in preseason...we already know how paranoid Roman and Harbs are about keeping Kap healthy.
If this happens, Gore will be kept on the field and over used ...and might be infective late in the season.
If Hyde doesn't pickup everything quickly...then I really see us trading for/picking up a released experienced Vet.

No I did not want us to get rid of him. I thought last year especially he looked bigger and faster than ever. I wonder what he would do as a full-time back.
