StaticX Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 In the strongest comments yet from any Tennessee Titans executive about the future of Eddie George, owner Bud Adams acknowledged that the veteran tailback almost certainly will not be back this season. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor...artnersite=espnfull story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Interesting. He's never been real durable, though....but still he's a team leader...puzzling move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanctified Veteran Posted May 26, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 26, 2004 Im not surprised, he is not the strong back he used to be, he went downwards very fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniPi Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Wow, really didn't see this coming. I really like seeing some of the backups get some time every now and then, but I don't think they can carry the team like Eddie did. Hopefully we'll get a nice trade here or there. Edit: Looks like Brown could be filling in his spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonobozoot Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 ,May 26 2004, 18:18] Im not surprised, he is not the strong back he used to be, he went downwards very fast yeah but who is there to perform his duties? Let me rephrase that. Is there any other player in the same calibre as Eddie in the free-agency who can help the Titans? In short, nobody...... yet. Isnt having something better than nothing? Wouldnt the Titans looks like fools by cutting him off without getting a proper replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=SD=- Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 $$$ = losing key players, this is always going to happen with these high salaries and the salary cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raiderzx24 Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Eddie George is going down hill every year. The pounding he takes every year is finally catching up to him. I mean **** 3.5 ypc is crap. And don't say hes good cause he gets 1,000 every year now. 1,000 yard year is pretty much nothing nowadays. He makes too much money. They got a good young back in Chris Brown, but Eddie will get picked up by someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raiderzx24 Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 he will probably go to my raiders. we pick up every veteran and turn them around. and yes toxikk he hasnt missed a start in his career, but the pounding he takes is finally catching up with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicoCahill Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 sounds like a good move, they need a better running game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted May 27, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 27, 2004 hmm, that's pretty crazy news. he is a big name, but his health is becoming a factor. his hard pounding play is catchign up with him. but damn, no missed starts, thats also saying something.

scowl Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Interesting. He's never been real durable, though....but still he's a team leader...puzzling move. do you watch football? eddie george has been one of the most reliable running backs in the league since coming out of college. but it is obvious his skills are declining from all of the pounding, and they want to move in another direction.

baseballpro9 Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 George had a few great years but in the worlf of football now...you need to have the stats every year. There are too many big name backs today, not like the Payton, Sayers, and even Sanders era. George will find a good fit in another city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
