...is, to more, more important than Duckett. We got several second tier guys who are as good as or about as good as Duckett. If one of the big three WR's goes down, Patten, a healthy Patten, would be missed, a bunch.
Davis was sent a one way ticket by the Eagles, so, it may be moot. He is actually more in the Gibbs mold (Rogers, Riggs, Riggo) than Portis. But now we're supposedly moving to a Portis friendly zone block scheme, so, Davis would be switching horses in the middle of the stream.
Add to all that Portis is said to be doing well and should be ready for the opener.
That is all very true, I was thinking along the lines of Duckett more towards a blocking scheme, sweeps, power running, and things of that nature... Not to say Sellers cant, but if you run formations with Sellers and Duckett in along with Portis, the options open up more coutner plays to whichever side with a big boy blocking for sure.
As for Patten, very true about how he can fill in and fill in well for one of the boys if they go down, hopefully that wont happen.
I just see more use out of Duckett, special teams, goal line, 3 and 1, than what we use Patten for....
As for Davis, I just think he is used up...your career can only last but so long as a power runner, when you lose that, you have nothing else left from what I see.... I just dont think Davis has enough left in the tank to give us what Portis will.
Either way I am happy, and cant wait till Im sitting in the stands on the 11th going HOG WILD
