How about that Gado/Booker combo?

    I have to admit, at first I thought we have lost our running game. But alas, we saw Gado and Booker tearing it up today. Gado was effective as the power back, plowing through Baltimore's defense and fought for extra yards. Booker on the other hand showed his quickness and elusiveness, and we all know by now that he can catch and he did so today. I look forward to seeing these two churning it out for the next two games.

    i think that Ronnie, Gado, and Booker should be our 3 Back for next year Have Ronnie as our Main Back Booker as our back up RB and Gado as our 3rd RB

    I dunno that I would classify it as "tearing it up" but for being like our fourth and fifth option at tailback...not too shabby.

    I personally love how Gado runs inside the Goal Line. Booker gives us so many options and should keep improving and be an awesome scat back.... Im pretty impressed with both kids and love what they are doing with the time being given to them....

    Depending on if Cam is still our coach or not, I think you can assume that Chatman will be around next year as well. Quite frankly, I think Chatman was doing well until he was injured.

    Personally, I would hate to see someone lose a roster spot so that Ricky can once again, be a distraction and dissappoint whatever fans he still has. Assuming no changes and Ronnie is healthy, and given the health issues we have seen this year, I think you can make a case for a following depth chart:

    1. Ronnie Brown
    2. Samkon Gado/Jesse Chatman
    3. Jesse Chatman/Samkon Gado
    4. Lorenzo Booker (although he has a different skill set and would probably end up playing a ton with the other backs on the field)

    I am actually ok with that provided that Ronnie remains healthy and the line can build on what they did this year and become even better. Players like Carey, Satele, and Hadnot are all young and should hopefully stay together (resigning Hadnot is key). Throw in a young mauler like Mormino and look to upgrade your RT somehow (whether it be FA, draft or trade) and you may be on to something.

    gado has been any better then chatman. I rather see:

    1.Ronnie
    2.Jesse
    3.Booker

    But hopefully Booker can improve so we have a Ronnie/Booker combo. The two would compliment each other pretty well.

    Tearing it up? I think not...

    Gado: 18car 43yds 1td 2.3ypc
    Booker: 8car 17yds 2.1ypc

    Booker is however making an impact as a receiver and i'm excited about his potential. Gado seems to have a nose for the endzone whenever we hit the redzone. Besides that I thought he was very unimpressive.

    Our backs weren't good yesterday, but part of that was the pressure of the Ravens defense. I still thought Lorenzo looked good at times.

    It looks like it will be Ronnie, Ricky, and Booker next year.

    i meant considering were playing a good run defense, i thought they did well. I didnt expect either one to get 100 yards or have a 5 ypc average, but given the circumstances and the fact neither one turned it over, it was a good performance.
