I am not confidant we have a back up that can keep our ground game going if Steven Jackson go down. |
I am. Considering the guy was a rookie, was not at the Rams training camp, and did not play preseason games with the Rams, he played exceptionally well. You can tell by watching his runs from last year that he's got good vision for a young back, plus the requisite speed. Saints just couldn't keep him because they dished out so much dough for McAllister and Bush and needed their few remaining roster slots to be filled with depth in other areas of need. I understand your trepidation, but with a year under his belt and a training camp to learn Saunders system, I think he'll be fine.
