All the backs seemed to look backside way to quick, this run system is about grinding the defense, not about homeruns on every play, and they will come to understand the design soon enough.

That said the only back I like is Shelton from your list, and iirc he is hurt and could not pass a psyical.

Lastly there will be some good unknows available when the cuts start to happen. I am hoping Jackie Battle get lost in a numbers game.


Some guys I am watching the waiver wire for (Battle of course)
BenJarvis Green-Ellis
Dantrell Savage
Lance Ball
Travis Thomas
Austin Scott
Keon Lattimore
Allen Ervin
Kregg Lumpkin
Chad Simpson

Most of these guys will not make the roster of the team they are currently on, also they showing you why RBs are not getting drafted much anymore, they have a short shelf life and they are a dime a dozen.
