Choose one ex rb we had too start over as rookie who!!

[BIGTONY]

If I could choose one rb we had too be a rookie all over again who would it be..I think the off line we have now(ok maybe in the playoffs)I would choose garrison hearst.I think he would be a stud with fitz warner boldin.He would have lots of fun on this team..and maybe Thomas Jones without the attitude.Or name a player back in time that we could make a rookie on this team..

 

[earthsci]

Ottis Jerome "O.J." Anderson

Leeland McElroy, that dude friggen owes me $76.00 for the jersey I bought!

 

[Gee!]

So your saying you wanna compound the problem by bringing him back... What? Do you work for AIG or something?

 

[Gee!]

Its a no brainer.. Garrison Hearst..

 

[Goldfield]

Hearst easy.

 

[TruColor]

Terry Metcalf.

 

[Shane]

Thomas Jones

 

[Osbern61]

OJ Anderson; he hit the ground running as a rookie.

 

[TigToad]

Hearst... maybe he'd stay healthy this time through.

 

[Azlen]

Emmitt Smith as a rookie would work.

 

[WildBB]

Terry Metcalf.

He could do it all. Awsome.

 

[SuperSpck]

Terry Metcalf.

Speed kills.

 

[BradMannTX]

Anthony Thompson...Johnny Johnson

Terry Metcalf.

Metcalf was a VERY special talent. People who never saw him play have no idea how good he was. In todays NFL he could never play at RB, because he only weighed about 175 and that (injuries) and drugs lead to his demise. Terry was also a big time fumbler, but had moves similar to Barry Sanders with more speed.
Juice would be my choice. I will never forget that first game he had against Dallas at Busch Stadium when he ran for 193 and ripped them for a 76 yarder, unheard of from back in that time at 225 lbs. Injuries and losing teams spelled the end until he won the Super Bowl MVP in NY. OJ was a BEAST in the mold of Jim Brown.

Thurman thomas.

Not Jones....he had no desire to play here.

The only premier RB that ever wanted to play for us was Shaun Alexander. He was pissed when we passed him up in the 2000 draft.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

I would like a bacfield of Otis Anderson, Stump Mitchell, and Hightower.

 

[Shogun]

Charley Trippi

Point one: Was Jones' anger unjustified? I remember him saying in an ESPN article that the Cardinal medical staff misdiagnosed a rip injury as asthma.
Admittedly, I'd be upset too.

Point two: Shaun Alexander would have had the same success Thomas Jones did in that time period. Bad offensive line play stifles everyone but Barry Sanders.

Charley Trippi

Awsome. Did you read his interview during the SB week. The media was really honing in on the old-time NFLers.

 

[BIGTONY]

I wish Thomas Jones had a desire too play here..I think he would of been awesome..How about a def player I would love too see would be Eric Swann with no medical problems.He would be a beast in or system..

Gamebird 98 would whole heartedly agree.

Ottis Jerome "O.J." Anderson

Second. I didn't even get to the end of the question before that name came into my head.

Imagine having Ottis Anderson in a Whiz offense?

OMG, we would score 50 points a game.
