[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 469404"] Jones and Francois have been around for a few years now, they're known quantities, and Jones, a former starter, was the choice. I didn't see anything in his play against HOU to indicate they'll change that. He's not a playmaker, not especially physical, but assignment-sure (not a Francois strength). He'll likely get the most snaps against the Rams. Green was a pleasant surprise, sort of. He's quick to the hole and has good lateral agility, but he plays smaller than his 225 lbs...he ducks contact, doesn't break tackles, doesn't show much second effort, and doesn't move the pile. Seine's more of north-south guy, and didn't show much last season running the ball in this scheme...a better receiver than runner in my opinion. Our best bet is Starks gets into contact condition, shows some of the form that made us like him in 2010, and gets productive at least in rotation. The fact you get at most one padded practice per week works against Starks getting into game shape...a little garbage time is probably not enough. The HOU game notwithstanding, the lack of a reliable runner will cost us again at some point this season. Buffalo has a strong record finding/developing running backs going back some ways. Maybe this new guy White can show something in a few weeks after he gets his feet wet, though coming in mid-year he's likely just an emergency option if Starks gets hurt again which has been the pattern.
