Mikie2times Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 For those that don't know of him check out Northern Illinois if you ever get a chance. You can see them on ESPN right now. RB Wolfe is a true home run hitter, and a legit Hesiman candidate. He's small in stature, but runs with great leverage. His agility and acceleration are outstanding, and he just levels people in pass protection. I think he could be a Warrick Dunn, if not better. That’s a great fit in our offense, and his style would compliment Willis well. Down the road he would also be great insurance in case Willis leaves.

We all know what Tomlinson brings to the table; quickness, agility, gamebreaking ability, etc. Turner is a bomber in that backfield. Stocky and powerful. (also a N. Illinois alum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daquixers_is_back Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 That would send McGahee right out of Buffalo ... and I personally like McGahee although others dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunBillsBacker Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I'd take him, the guy is pretty good. A good backup/change of pace back behind Mcgahee would be great. Look at what McCalister/Bush is doing for the Saints. The only way that move would run Mcgahee out of town is if Wolfe turns into Barry Sanders.

If you draft a RB he will leave town when his contract is up. Guaranteed. Thats the way he is. He is the #1 man in town and wants zero competition.

But at 5' 7", the NFL will be hard for him. 799889[/snapback] Like I said, think Dunn. He still runs with power despite his size, and loves running inside. He plays with chip on his shoulder. He posted over 125 yards against Michigan, and 225 against Northwestern last year. This year he posted over 160 yards against Ohio State. This is elite competition for the most part, behind a MAC line. His average is almost 10 yards a carry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Why dont we just draft some roadgraders to make holes for the backs we have? I think the best available OL and the best available DL should be our first 2 picks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNING-BACK. Holy crap. Anyway. Maurice Drew proves what? He has played 5 games and is averaging about 6-7 carries a game. So what has he proven? Not to mention Drew weighs about 35 pounds more than Wolfe and is not a straight up the gut runner, like Wolfe is. p.s. warrick dunn averages about 800 yards a year.

Mikie2times Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 I just love watching this guy play. The guy disappears, and then shows uncanny acceleration and agility. His top end gear is not the best trait he has, but it's still more then enough to break the big gainers with that type of acceleration. No doubt the line needs to be addressed but I just love the versatility he would give us. It would be a hell dealing with so much quickness on the field. Plus he's known as a character guy, the type Marv likes. I'm not saying get rid of Willis, just compliment him. Give us the dimension so many other teams have.

I'm not advicating we take Wolfe as just as easy as he could be the next Dunn he could also be the next JJ Arrington. As the original poster mentioned Wolfe be a change of pace RB and I think thus far Drew has shown that he can be just that so in 5 games into his NFL career.

By the way, the last player who dominated the MAC to this level was Randy Moss. Wolfe is more dominant then he was so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
