Guest three3 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 give him some chances, he may step in as the relief #2 due to injury. anyone else think he has serious potential, i think he is going to be the spark plug like ahmad bradshaw was with ward & jacobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 give him some chances, he may step in as the relief #2 due to injury. anyone else think he has serious potential, i think he is going to be the spark plug like ahmad bradshaw was with ward & jacobs I can't think of two less similar running backs than xavier omon and ahmad bradshaw. In any case, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Lynch and Jackson are rolling along just fine for the moment. Besides, Omon has been inactive thus far I believe along with most of our rookies.

Guest three3 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 i'm not comparing their running styles but their out of nowhere impact that no one could properly gameplan for and stop when combined with two other above avg backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robkmil Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 give him some chances, he may step in as the relief #2 due to injury. anyone else think he has serious potential, i think he is going to be the spark plug like ahmad bradshaw was with ward & jacobs I think the two guys carrying the ball are doing fine. How many teams on average give the ball to three different Running Backs. Plus we haven't had garbage time to give him carries. let's give Hamden some snaps. You never know when we could lose 2 QB's in one game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest three3 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 patriots, broncos, steelers and bucs used to give the ball to three backs or even the colts used three in the first dominic rhodes era-just like the d linemen-you need 'waves' as people are calling them.

Guest three3 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 i don't but have been countering him-when i face off against him-with jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Why? Lynch and Coe get all the touches. There's not enough to go around. He won't get in there unless maybe some garbage time after we're up big on a team and it's the 4th Q. That or if we've clinched a first round bye and we rest starters.

He may be activated this week only because Jackson is returning punts now. I hope Omon has learned to stop fumbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeJuiceSimpson Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 was bradshaw that much different than dedrick ward or whatever his name is I think Bradshaw and Ward are very different...The reason it works with the Giants is because all three backs bring something different to the table. Jacobs is the smashmouth running back, Ward is the most balanced and is a good pass catching back, and Bradshaw is the fastest, most electrifying of the three. I don't think Omon is a bum but I can't see him running harder than Marshawn or catching passes like Fred, and he's definitely not faster than either of them.

The Milkman Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Omon is like that donut spare tire in the trunk. He's there just in case you need him, but you sure don't want to ride very far on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
