It's a shame we don't seem to have a shot at Scott. He would be a nice thunder back for us.

It seems to me that James has been just as effective gaining short yardage as any large back I've ever seen.

I agree, he has been great but I think the reason why we would like to see a big back is to compliment James to allow him a breather and to not wear him down as the season goes on. Like Quizz last season a smaller back can wear down as the season goes and is unable to take the load. Fortunately for us we are not the Beavers and don't rely on 2 players and are able to spread the ball around as to not wear down our players.

Re: Lattimore update
Can't we already give him breaks with another true tailback like Barner?
I've just come to believe that this offense doesn't really need a big, between the tackles guy. It can utilize one. But, it's not a need, imo.
