    Hey I hope they don't bro, but I could see it happening...I personally think 3rd (if we get one) or 4th is a nice spot for RB.

    Battle sucks

    Will be surprised if he is on the final 53 unless CJ is cut

    Training camp requires 90 bodies, Battle is just the first of many we'll sign and dump by August.

    Agreed. Likely a pressure move...Ah well, a lot can happen between now and next season.

    I think it is more of a safety net.

    Battle can earn his place on special teams alone. He adds key experienced depth if C.J. isn't coming back. Regardless I expect the Titan's to be looking for the next Arian Foster: undrafted running back gold. With Battle on board they can afford to shop just a little bit more.

    I dont think we have to have a change of pace RB to pair with Greene, many
    RB-by-committee backfields get it done with similar players.

    Niners RB's Frank Gore and Kendall Hunter are similar builds of each other.
    Marshawn Lynch, Robert Turbin, and Christine Michael are all power runners for Seattle.
    Alfred Morris and Roy Helu are the same size for the Redskins.
    Packers Eddie Lacey and James Starks are the same guy almost too.

    The trick isnt having 2-3 styles of RB, its to just find effective runners. If they happen to be different ok, but I wouldn't limit myself to only fast guys because of the fact we already have 1 powerback.

    What do you all think about Jones-Drew as our Danny Woodhead type of RB? He has always been a good receiver with 40+ receptions every year. We could tell him that he gets a chance to fight Green for the starting job.

    I wouldn't have a problem going into the season with Green, Jones-Drew, and Battle.
