Toby gareheart

I don't think he's a Shanahan type back

Best.

McCluster -i think thats his name

I don't think he's a Shanahan type back

There's only one requirement to be a Shannahan running back and thats vision. Everything else is secondary. If I remember right Terrell Davis ran a 4.6 or 4.7 in the 40. Thats why Peyton Hillis, who seems similar to Gerhart in more then just skin color was on track to be the next big find for Denver, unfortunately for him McDaniels came in and the Bronco's have since gradually shifted to a more conventional running game.

However back to the original point, if you look at Shannahan's choices at running back you'll be hard pressed to find a similar build or skillset among all the guys Shannahan chose to give the rock. Basically if you can find the hole you'll be successful in this offense.

I like Gerhart but with more pressing needs i doubt it happens.

Well, if that is true then I would like to throw out Damion Fletcher, running back from Southern Mississippi. He lacks great size or great speed but he does have terrific vision and instincts.

I really like to land ciron black LSU in the 4th round but he might not be thear

Ciron Black is to heavy and flat footed for this offense. The team is more then likely going to draft guys no heavier then 305 pounds.

As long as we get this guy we'll be fine:
