Did We Sign RB Gartrell Johnson?

Snelling has a ton more finess, can run the screen or halfback routes & catch. I don't think Snelling is a between the tackles back. And we need that 4.3 open field runner that can beat the LB's around the ends & turn the afterburners on.

I don't like either of these guys. Smith deserves his shot IMO. And he knows the playbook.

Edit: I should rephrase that... I think Snelling would do fine as a between the tackles back, but I don't think that would be proper use of him. A RB his size that can catch the ball & run through DB tackles in the second layer is dangerous & a lot more bang for the buck. I wouldn't chance sending him up the gut 25 times a game though. You're missing out on what he can do best.

Snelling is pure in between the tackles kinda guy, especially with the way he can pick up yards after contact. He's just a very good player catching the ball and turning up field.
