Bring him in, cut Croom and put him on the practice squad.

I don't see him contributing. I don't see us with a run game either.

Our solution to the running game begins with the OL. Fix it, and your choices for an effective RB increases. I'm with you, no running back will flourish in the OLs current state of flux.

croom has more upside... remember at best he would be a third and maybe even fourth stringer. why not keep croom who at least has not been injured in his career.
EDIT: oh and by the way.. he couldn't even keep a roster spot on the lions???? what does that tell you? |

Work on OL! We could have three all-pro RB's and it would not make a difference
at the moment. Fix the line, everything else will begin to fall in place.

Yup the eagles drafted 8 OL in a 9 year period in the 90's I believe. We are having a bad streak just liek that. But once you get it right it pays bigtime dividends. |
