Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 18987, member: 837"] A couple thoughts: -- I agree taking a few shots is important but I can see where the staff is coming from. Obviously there is inherant risk in just tossing the ball up in the air. The real answer (which I know everyone knows) is finding a difference-maker offensively. Sales may have been able to at least fill that role, but a true home run threat means you can take your shots without willingly deciding to throw risky passes. -- I think people seem to be using "power back" and "Delone Carter" interchangeably. I think Carter was a really unique back in his ability to make a guy in the backfield miss and then find a crack to fall forward for a couple yards. I don't know if it was vision or quick feet or what, but I know that isn't always a skill a bigger back possesses. If AAM or Smith are ready to help this team out, then fine, but I think it's a mistake to suggest a guy that weighs more is going to really move the pile at all. [/QUOTE]
