Willie Parker a Skin

Cutting Portis next year would save a relatively measly $5 million against the cap ($10 million cap number with a $5 million release fee). During the Vinny Cerrato era this would have been a LOT of cap space but with all the space we're poised to have when/if the cap returns the cost is relatively minimal.

The battle between Portis, Johnson and Parker should be interesting. It should make us better.

Overaged and over paid, the more things change the more they stay the same.

Things are getting a little over crowded.

I think CP will step up with a chip on his shoulder this year...
Johnson & NOW Parker...
This offense will be explosive.

That's called a Shanahan offense.


Seriously, we could run plays with 3 of them in the backfield at the same time, or even in an even 3-way share...they could all do VERY well.

In the 4th quarter, we'll have 3 highly-talented, FRESH running backs.

As long as all 3 stay motivated and with the plan, all will go well. As badly as Parker wanted out of Pittsburgh, I don't think he'll be a problem. LJ may have matured and will value another chance. CP...he could be the problem but if he believes in Shanahan and understands this will extend his career and possibly get him a ring...he could behave.

He's not starting. He won't be abused and overused.

It's a GREAT depth signing. We needed another RB.

Would you rather have Anthony Alridge or P.J. Hill as the #3 RB?

Ha, typo...I meant to type "with 2 of them".

I guess I got a little excited about the thought.



Definitely no Wishbone in the NFL...right?
