NFL Draft '09: Pick #173 - Javon Ringer, RB, Michigan State

Ringer looks like a steal. He reminds me of Tiki Barber in terms of size and style.

It will be interesting to see how the RB situation plays out. Ringer could end up as the 3rd down back (CJ isn't the best receiver). And White isn't particularly effective, so he could lose most of his carries (and even his roster spot).

 

Ringer is a huge steal. When I saw thats who we picked I immediately was skeptical about why we chose to pick up another running back until I looked up his stats and some footage of his playing. Soon as I did my research I was stoked because this to me, is a major steal. I'm suprised he didn't get drafted higher, but am glad he came to us. I think he has the potential to come up and play between CJ and Lendale in terms of what he'll provide in his running style. Doesn't seem to be super explosive, but I see him being the bridge between the Smash and Dash. We have a lot of running backs going into mini camps and all that, but I hope he makes it to #3 running back and we off load Henry.

 

this dude is a steal i agree with you there.....but cj is a great receiving threat and i see ringer rotating in alot more the white. watching his college tape he kinda runs like marion barber III from dallas(very hard to bring down, runs his feet through contact

just dont get to far ahead of your self, just cause Cj turned out to be a smart pick dont think all the Titans picks will pay off every time.

 

Did you happen to forget about Q? Think Ringer will beat him out for a position? Q is quite nothing to scoff at.

 

He has to beat Little first. I think Ganther and Henry have seen their last chance.

Going into next summer (barring another draft pickup), I'd expect our RBs to be 1) CJ 2) Ringer 3) Little.

The main thing I'm basing the Little support on is how high the coaching staff has been on him. Ganther has hung on for several years, but he's past practice squad eligibility, and I think we'll have enough other help on special teams for him to hang on that way.

 

MOB- I wouldn't consider CJ a receiving threat until he can actually catch the ball.

 

You mean like that really low pass that Vince passed to him in the red zone that he dropped?

OH WAIT, he reached down and scooped it and got in the end zone.
Yeah. CJ can't catch.

 

He isn't useless in the passing game, but CJ's hands need some work...

 

Yaa.....when you move from rb to wr in colloege cus of a turf toe injury then you cant be all that bad at wr. but hey thats just how i see it
