taylor and ellington thunder and lightening :)

mendenhall should never see the field again this year!


that 80 yard touchdown brought a tear to my eye and taylor can grind out some tough yards too it seems

we have a bright future in the backfield!

AE has some explosiveness in him. And Taylor can hold onto the ball and run hard.

Happy to have both of them.

yup and in the division lynch and gores careers are winding down, we could have the best backfield in the division in the not too distant future :)

No no no.. According to Shane Mendenhall is the premier RB on this team.. Ellington is too small and Taylor is as slow as molassess. :D

Ellington #1, Kulabafi #2, Mendy deep on the depth chart, far end of the bench, nursing his owie of the week. And Ryan Williams WILL be gone by Tuesday for a low round conditional pick - MARK IT!

I don't get the hate for Mendenhall. He's not the player he once was, but dang, just kick him to the curb?? Looked to me like he ran and played hard... got some tough yards in bad situations. Can't hate on him for that.

I don't know about Cooper.. He hasn't played in the regular season.. And I want to add Minter too, but, he hasn't played.. But Tyrann, Ellington and Taylor have all showed that they could belong in the NFL.. And I'm enjoying watching them play..

i don't hate rashard, he's young and still has something left but i think our two youngun's could be special

both rashard and williams will find a gig somewhere in the league

i think tony jefferson could be a diamond in the rough as well,
thats where you build your team, not necessarily with the first round blue chips but with the late round gems,
and i think we have a front office thats competent in that regard now

Seems like they would have played Williams today to show the rest of the league what he has in the tank to warrant trading for him?

Coop showed me more than enough in preseason. He's a stud.

I'd love to add Minter (I like lsu guys) but he hasn't had a chance to show well yet. I bet he will tho.

1 game out of 8 against a bad Falcs team & we've turned the corner offensively? I like Ellington as a role player too, but lets slow down the nicknames & HOF nameplates! :mulli:

The team played very well today, can't the doom and gloom people at least give the fans here a day to celebrate.

Yeah, those two look like they might prevent us from having to pay 2.5 mil for the Rashard Mendenhall's of FA world.

Meh-done-hall is just like Beanie: all the talent, but all the injuries.
