Whom will the two guys be? Foreman and Hubbard are probably the best bets but the Lovett kid really runs hard and has great hands (which Hubbard doesn’t)! If we cut Lovett I hope we can sign him to our practice squad as his game most mirrors CMC’s…I’m just thinking someone else gets him. You

Dude, I love Lovett (no pun intended). That kid has it going on. I'm sure Foreman will be our #2 RB.

Chuba didn't look good last night, at least not at first. Most of what looked bad for him was (1) he showed he needs a LOT of work before he can be trusted much receiving, and (2) as a running back, he needs more work on following his blocks, looking for holes, and situational awareness.

Another one that seriously impressed me was Giovanni Ricci. He's listed as a TE, but he lines up at TE, Receiver, HB, FB, and about anywhere else they want him. And to think he was signed as an Undrafted Free Agent last season and made the 53 man roster.

That's a GOOD question....

I would like to see Foreman and Lovett, although I think Lovett needs some more 'experience'. Hubbard, as you mentioned, is probably the better option although I don't see much growth in his game. In fact, were I pressed to describe Hubbard's game, I would say that I believe he has 'regressed' some from last year.  But Lovett needs to mature and face some competition.

Lovett is another of Rhule's 'guys', having played at Baylor.  Gosh... I wonder what we would look like as a team if we got rid of all of Rhule's nepotistic signings.??

Wish we could get Foreman and a Mike Davis/CJAnderson type. I miss having at least one of the thick-bodied "I'm runnin' thru you and you can't stop me" type.

I don't know what on earth possessed them to let Mike Davis go after last season.

Shoot... That's an easy one. Too easy. He was too much of a 'fit'. Too good at his job. Couldn't stand the prosperity.!!
