saden - He's still a rookie behind a very strong back. If you remember correctly Ahman Green used to be one of the worst fumblers in the league. He quit fumbling because they added one extra sweat band, and some practice. Travis Henry is a great ball carrier.

Arrington - we have two VERY cocky young players. Both of them from the university of Miami. Confidence is great, but don't let it burn you!

what?!! travis henry a great ball carrier? if you are talking about his carrying ability, look at the number of fumbles hes had. that is his weak spot. (23 fumbles in 3 years, 13 lost) http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/stats?statsId=5505

but mcgahee doesnt deserve to start, he hasnt proven that his knee wont get blown out again, and he hasnt earned anything yet.

Ahman Green has gotten no better as his career has progressed in terms of fumbling, in fact it seems to have gotten worse. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/stats?statsId=4261

Still, very few teams wouldn't rather have Green than their own RB. I'm sure the Redskins are one of the few that wouldn't.

As for McGahee, I have my doubts that McGahee directly stated "start me or trade me" He probably said something like "My goal is to be the starter of this team, that's what I'm playing for. I don't want to be a backup." Which is a totally understandable thing to say. I understand Henry said the same thing, but at least Henry have some NFL clout, For right now, McGahee doesn't.

If I was Miami I'd be offering up a trade right now to Buffalo for Henry or McGahee.

Henry has some fumble problems, but I think he's an underrated RB. He was the Bills offense last year and played with a broken leg no less.

green's fumbling problems ended int he middle of the season. during the monday night game, it rained, and he fumbled 2 times. he changed his elbow bands from rubber, to cloth, and he didnt change them the rest of the year, nor did he fumble.

Are you offering Ogunleye? I'd be really surprised to see two division rivals like that make a deal

I'd offer a first rounder for either back, but probably not O-gun
