    Is Prosise worth keeping???

    We can win it all this year, but it will be a war. You need warriors to fight a war, and snowflakes can poison the well. That's a mean sounding, hard statement, but a valid, legitimate concern in this discussion I think. I can measure it with an amount of respect and love for CJ though. I can...

    Is Prosise worth keeping???

    Welcome to the damage controlled, plan B. Plan A had been to have a real competition between the RBs this preseason. But after 4 combined carries and 12 yards, Rawls and Prosise were too injured to participate. I understand "if it's the regular season, they play", and that's equally...

    Is Prosise worth keeping???

    Overcoming the durability issues is his only obstacle, but a big one IMO. I can't see the tough, hard nose defenses we'll be facing, allowing a guy with a reputation of being soft, a guy with a reputation of being easily banged up, torch them for very long. He's gonna have to shuck that...

    Is Prosise worth keeping???

    agreed, I like his skill set to offset RW's and our receivers best of all, may be the most complimentary IMO. I worry about lack of quickness and longeveity over the season. Shifty and quick when his ankle is 100%, but he'll try to play when it's not 100%, and then he's not so shifty and...

    the definition of insanity?

    Is Prosise worth keeping???

    Why did he wait until Thursday to say so?, monitoring their health? It's a nice fall back position to claim, now. I bet the truth is, if the regular season were tomorrow, Rawls would try to play, and look awful, and Prosise would hold himself out. the fruits of great competition indeed. No...

    Is Prosise worth keeping???

    Well, I guess ole Pete was pulling our leg about that RB competition he was looking forward to a few weeks back. Or... He really wanted them to play this week, but they still can't go. Look at the timing of this thing, he doesn't say CJ and Rawls will be held out last Sunday, or Monday or...

    Is Prosise worth keeping???

    Here's a thought for our reasoned contributors to ponder. For Prosise to be, and stay the ultimate weapon everyone is taking about, doesn't he have to really be established as a between the tackles runner? if not, isn't it really telegraphing what we are doing? and minimizing the effect? if...

    I'm sure AC is not the only one who can do that, but after Prosise, is probably the best at it. Collins has been the one the coaches have looked to for that kind of work, in camp and PS, by a pretty heavy margin with CJ out. They can't be displeased with the results so far. I'll clarify "after...

    The knock on Collins by many is "he doesn't do any one thing very well" and as you say "not going to excite you much". I understand that perception amongst everything there is to analyse, but there is actually a good bit of evidence of something he has always done well since being here. Taking...

    Is Prosise worth keeping???

    I wonder how much of that work Mckissic could take on? It would seem logical to have a contingency plan like that. It seems they have tested AC pretty hard with basic 3rd down back work, and he's passed with flying colors. AC and JD combining to take CJ's spot, IF NEED BE, makes a certain...

    Is Prosise worth keeping???

    If it continues past preseason, then it would seem to be the kind of protected status a seasoned veteran would receive, I don't get it either.

    Is Prosise worth keeping???

    but.. but.. the ceiling is so high. it'll be realized some day, we can dream about it until then. In the meantime, maybe we can run CJ through the combine again, and if his numbers have improved, give him a raise! OK, sarcasm off, I agree with you. little of both, everything is less...

    Is Prosise worth keeping???

    thanks for that. It seems the attitude on the board isn't too far removed from what the coaches are thinking. It would seem CJ is at the brink and the next few weeks are crucial for him.
