Fui

What do you think about using Fui Vapakuna as one of our RB's and keeping Jermi Johnson as our FB? This is what Baltimore did with L.McCoy and L. Neil last year. If we really want smashmouth football use Benson as the primary back, Fui as the short yardage / goalline back, and either Watson, Dorsey, or Scott, as the 3rd down back. With those guys running behind Andre Smith with a relativly healthy Jermi Johnson leading the way, it could be dangerous.

i was thinking the same thing

he can run the ball, and i think in the end that will help him make the team

I think we already have our Beef back

with Benson we need a quick back to just sprint as fast as he can to the endzone

I’d rather have a back who can see the field and gain decent yardage. A straight sprinter is useless if he can’t make good cuts instinctively. Benson is as reliable as a metronome, you know you’re going to get somewhere between 3 and -2 yards nearly every carry.

what about
benson-main back
bernard scott- change of pace
kenny watson-3rd down

fb- jeremi (if in shape) and fui vapakuna
keeping 5 backs

I’d like to see a primary backfield of Benson and Bernard Scott. That assumes that Scott keeps his nose clean and that his tape is an accurate indication of his instinctual and shifty running. Benson’s rudimentary skills as a receiver, added to Scott’s excellent hands ought to make Watson obsolete, especially if both Vakapuna- who can be a backup tailback, and Jeremi Johnson are on the roster. Four backs to do the job of five.

Oh, and Jason Shirley as a fullback, making it over a thousand pounds- with Bobbie and Andre- for Benson to run behind in goal line situations. ;→

Kenny did a beautiful job in 07

we need to give him more of a chance

that’s what I’ve been saying all along.

Here’s one easy stat that tells the story: Kenny Watson’s WORST ever ypc average over a season is better than Cedric Bensons BEST ever ypc over a season.
