Eddie George

that's why champ decided to go the CB route i guess... he said the RBs burn out way too fast. He also said jacobs was the best skins WR... I'm hoping thats true too.

maybe champ just didn't want to worry about all the extra weights and workouts required to bulk up enough to consistently play rb.

I hope he doesn't sign within the NFC east. Although I agree that his best years are behind him I do think he could go somewhere with another good back where he wouldn't have to carry 30+and do some serious damage, similar to the Davis with Foster in Carolina. Plus I still can't get the image of him trucking Ray Ray when they played the Ravens last year. I think with the motivation he has now he will create some problems if teamed with a young solid back like Westbrook or Jones.

I love Eddie George, he's a warrior. But the name Emmitt Smith comes to mind when I think of George now and I'm talking about Arizona Emmitt not Cowboy Emmitt
I think thats a little bit different because emmit has been in the nfl 6 more years than george and smith went from playing behind once of the best offensive lines(I hate having to admit that), to playing behind a line that seemed to make last years blocking by the skins look like it was all-pro quality,lol.

Did you guys watch George in that crucial playoff game last year? Can't remember which one, but he showed real heart. I love the guy, but he's about done.

he's been released (asked to be cut loose and the titans agreed). he would like to be picked up by tampa, dallas, or philly.

heard this on comcast sports night a few minutes ago... also we've picked up something brewer, TE that played on the falcons... sorry i can't remember the specifics, I wasn't paing attention... do we really need another TE???

Philly has Westbrook and buckhalter, they won't pick him up

Philly is his home town and they have picked up all the pieces they believe are missing to make a super bowl run so maybe since he doesn't have much left he would go there and sign for a few years at a low money contract with alot of incentives similar to what the Titans wanted to give him.

If he's used correctly I think he can still be a valuable contributor for someone.

He's not an every down back anymore, but if he's used in a limited role and sees 10-15 touches per game he can still be effective. I wouldn't want to face him simply because the guy is a warrior and always comes to play.

You can bet he's going to play this season with a chip on his shoulder too.

I'm just glad that we're not the kind of team who would ever invest a lot of money into an over the hill former pro bowler based solely on name recognition.*

*I spent the last few years in a coma.

I'm in favor of him signing with PHI or DAL. He's on the downslide.
