He looks better than toddman and toddman has been playing running back his whole life probably.

Really? I thought Denard was looking pretty good this pre-season. Showed good burst, decent vision, some home run ability, and most importantly was able to hold onto the ball. Granted, the 4th string line didn't help him much.

 

Was definitely disappointed with Todman though.I thought he fell flat this pre-season.

 

Then again, I wasn't even expecting Denard to make the roster with the way he played last year. <_< And I was expecting big things from Todman. So maybe my expectations are impacting my opinions of their play in a disproportionate manner. :confused:

Todman will get what the blocking gets him, but that's it. RBs like him in this league are a dime a dozen. He's not the kind of RB that makes his own  yards like FT, Jones-Drew and Gerhart, and quite frankly the Jaguars would instantly improve on his spot by signing Benjarvus Green-Ellis.


 

Denard hasn't exactly looked exceptional either, but he has shown the speed necessary to get to the corner, and the Jaguars are going to need some of that for a change-of-pace. I'm actually more excited for the potential that Storm brings to the table as he looks like a naturally gifted RB out there but just hasn't had much opportunity as of yet on the field.

Storm needs to realize that he's simply not fast enough or agile enough to play the way he did in college. He needs to change his style. He's built like a pounder bu tries to run the ball like a scatback.

THERE IS A SKELETON INSIDE OF YOU.

 

RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

He hesitates too much. Having to pause to think about where you are going doesn't work in the NFL. You have to trust your instincts and your instincts have to be good.

 

The physical tools are there it's just whether or not he can overcome the mental reaction time.

Most 7th rounders don't play as rookies if they even make the team. He's more a prospect to play in 2015.

Sounds like Fred Taylor's first preseason.  Believe me, he was clueless, and some people thought he was a bust.

I'd pass on Green-Ellis, but Detroit just released Leshoure. I'd be intrigued for him to take Todman's spot.

You like BIG RB, huh?

I think Green-Ellis is bordering on "washed up"  at this stage. I have zero interest.  Not much of an upgrade (if any) over Todman who already knows the system well.

Agree. He's 29 with 1000 career carries. Doubt there's much left.

Obviously, he was released for a reason...He's on the downside of his career and doesn't fit the model the front office is committed to establishing

This is what I been saying, Todman is just a guy, there are 100 Todmans around the NFL, Storm has way more upside, and Robinson has special qualities, Todman is only on the roaster because he knows the system and is blocking over the other two RBs. 

 

I hope we search the wavier wire for a RB and just dump Todman

Meh, not me. Leshoure has been very unimpressive so far in his career. 

 

Not sure he's an upgrade from Todman.
