This list reminds me, we should take Trey Millard. He's exactly what we could use on offense -- a big, tough as hell FB who isn't just a battering ram but can catch the ball and make some pretty big plays at times. Real leader type, too.

Plus he's hurt and is from Oklahoma. So book it.

But seriously, this guy would be great. One of the few things we don't have on offense.

Unless you're so dedicated to this stupid 12 idea that you can't make room for him. Would hate to take snaps from Pablo, after all.

But that would demonstrate a commitment to the run, and well, that just ain't us anymore.

True, bb. But I'm going to be an idiot and believe that Red can't survive much longer.
