And why are so many people saying Kasey Studdard? For the record, I'm totally speculating on him joining us

See Smootsmack knows what it's like. By the way I'm extremely offended that no one noticed Xavier Fulton on my opening day roster. Like "hey dirt that's awesome. I didn't know we already had someone that awesome on our roster. You're AWESOME."

Fulton was signed on 20 December 2010.[25] On January 3, 2010, Fulton signed a futures contract with the team for the 2011 season.[26]

Point-Counterpoint: Sorting out the running backs

I think to many of you are overlooking Royster. Personally I feel that Shanahan liked Royster more but felt like he would be available much later then Helu, hence the trade up for Helu. If anything Royster is capable of doing everything; catching, blocking, running. The RB trifecta. Sure he's only good and not great in all three areas but hopefully we can change that.

Besides we've already established that Shanahan feels Royster is the next T. Davis not to mention he has scary parallels to Jim Brown.

I definitely think Royster will be a solid back and contribute, especially if Torain goes down.

Remember Keiland Williams last year against Tennessee? Beastly. We're also forgetting about him.

Suddenly, we have 4 VERY solid RBs. It's a great situation to be in. Our WRs also look good and of course TE is the best tandem in the NFL. If the O-line gets fixed, it won't really matter who plays QB, he'll be surrounded by a ton of playmakers.
