WE need to Trade for a RB/ Tater lookes like a piece of Charmin Toilet paper out there. All the big hits are being layed on him. and then hell run for a 56 yd td run and we are all amazed!

. Look man ts just not gonna and cant happen. Tater is not #1 back material! Hes to soft!

Ummm... Wouldn't the fact that he's getting man-handled out there and getting back up PROVE that he can take the load and take a pounding?

And if Tatum isn't the man, then who do you suggest we put back there? Dayne has sucked, Mike Bell won't be ready(most likely), and Cedric Cobbs is getting the boot.

Why wouldnt mike bell be ready? Its RB not QB. And Hell no it dosent show he can carry the load they arent even going full contact and he looks soft.

He has 2 learn the play book and he is behind to nfl expirenced backs and he can learn from him rather then throw him out there and get him hurt or somthing like that.

Because even Portis wasn't ready for the first game in his rookie year. The speed of the game is TOTALLY different.

If Tatum gets hit like hell, and he gets back up -- it shows me something.

Everybody can take the 1 hit im talking about the wear and tear hits. Hell Grifffin looks tougher than him!

stop while your ahead, Tatum has shown he can take a hit or two, and hes our only proven back, who do YOU suggest putting out there that we dont have already, dont throw Thomas Jones in there either, thats looking like it may never happen

Let us all remember that the blocking scheme is not in full effect. Why do you think Shanny puts so much into blocking TE and WR, so they can block out the defense. Tatum Bell will be fine and YES Mike Bell is ready.......BY GAME ONE.

Ahhh, he's jonesing for a jones...

I was nervous about our running back situation before TC started. But with M. Bell coming on, I hope they don't trade for another running back.

Ding and Dong will be just fine. I especially like what I'm reading about M. Bell being effective as a short yardage and goaline back. Even with M. Andersen last year, I never felt confident with our backs grinding out the tough yards.

56 yd touchdowns will amaze in any camp.
