Cards darkhorses for eddie?

[Cardforlife]

I just read Pro football talk, which in my opinion is the best football rumors site out there and they are saying the Cards and Bagels are the 2 darkhorse teams to land Eddie! They also go on to say the Cards would have thee inside track but would have to dump Emmitt to make it happen. How do you feel about this?
I would have loved to have eddie 2 injuries ago! But now......? Well I still think he could be more productive than Emmitt.

I don't see the Cards doing this...dumping Emmitt to sign George would be a bad PR move especially after Green announced him as the starter...George has more left in the tank but not enough to warrant this move. Now if they signed George and let them fight it out in camp? The Cards have bigger needs on defense anyways..

Here's the thing: if we get George, I'm okay with it...but it darn well better be at the expense of Smith. If we don't get George, that's okay, too.

There is 0% chance of this happening.

i'd like to pick him up. but only if he and emmitt have a legitimate battle in camp for the position. and i mean battle. bare knuckles, no holds barred, hair pulling, eye gouging, fisticuffs! loser has to play defensive end.

Yep, that is how he makes all of those great blockes as a RB.

I got to think that George would be more productive than Smith. He is younger, bigger and can still run over people. Emitt just does not have the moves he once had but since Green has already announced him as the #1 running back it just is not going to happen

Any passing game requires a decent running game. I do not remember when we last had a good running game. We are going to face the same problem this year as the defenses will line up to stop the pass and our your QB who has enough to deal with will need all the scrambling ability he has. We just do not have a premier running back or one that can take it to the house. I think we were last in the league in scoring running TD's last year and this is nothing new. I think people seem to be overlooking our running problems simply because we have 3 excellent receivers. They will be covered with a blanket if we cannot get some yardage on the ground.

Tell the 2003 Pats about the necessity of a running game. 27th-ranked rushing offense in the NFL. Less than 5 more yards per game over the Arizona Cardinals.

I do agree with you, but there's nothing we can do about that. Eddie isn't going to scare defenses any more than Marcel Shipp or Emmitt Smith do. What we have seen the past couple years is defenses throwing 8 or even 9 men in the box, and then daring the offense to make them pay for it. To this point, it hasn't happened. If we can open up the offense (finally), there might be holes underneath to make the running game happen (if Emmitt and/or Marcel can find them). More pieces have to work in concert for that to happen, but it can.

I'm skeptical, but worrying about how our runningbacks suck isn't going to get Kevin Jones out of blue and gray and into red and white, you know?
