For those that want to discount Jamaal Charles ability to be an “every-down back” or a “number-one back”…just go look up Chris Johnson’s numbers.

If Charles had some better blocking up front? Look out. The guy can be the real deal…a freakin’ monster. I look forward to seeing this young man develop.

I’m quite sure a RB is on the list… He wants a RB by committee, at least seemingly.

I think I get where Haley is coming from in terms of advancing the positive talk about the shortage of RBs (in this instance) and his having a backup plan to accomodate the derth but who is buying this load of BS?

As has been documented by Bob and others, sizewise, JC is not a prototypical NFL RB capable of 25+ carries over too many games. A FB type can bust the gut a few times which is needed but to fill in and expect the same YPC from this guy? Come on!

Bottom line: Put NFL-ready RB on the needs list in the off-season, if not right NOW.

You know Haley loves it when he says the guys were in & out of huddles quickly & just plain ole hustling.
I find it kind of funny as well. We have a bunch of grown men whimpering about the cold. I guarantee you that if there was a bunch of attractive women or cheerleaders or cameras all around they would have acted more like Strutting Roosters than prep school boys.
You gotta admit, it had to have been a funny sight.
