My immediate thought of Jerious Norwood.

I am a huge Jerious Norwood fan, I think he's one of, if not the best playmaker we have on the offense. I've always been a fan, I have a few Norwood jerseys even. However, as the years keep going on, I am starting to lose a little faith in Norwood. Year after year he continues to go down with injuries.

I feel like he just officially answered the question for me, "Why don't they get him more involved in the game plan." He's simply too fragile. I'm starting to believe that maybe we shouldn't resign him. While he is great when he is in the game, it seems that he's not in the game more often than he actually is in the game.

We do however need a quick receiving running back, and hopefully there is someone in free agency that could step up in that role. I just don't think Snelling/Turner is going to be enough. Although Snelling seems to be more than filling Norwoods role, especially with that wide open receiving touchdown he just scored. Do we simply move around the current backs that we have to adjust missing Norwood, or do we look for someone with equivelent playmaking ability as Norwood?

I am so thankful we have Snelling now, because if we didn't, we would be officially screwed in the running game.
