R8RMick 242 Posted November 19, 2011 From The Huddle: The Redskins might get a boost from running back Tashard Choice, whom they signed off waivers from the Cowboys on Halloween. He hasn't played since he pulled a hamstring in Week 7 for Dallas, but Shanahan said he hoped Choice would "get a chance to show us what he can do" against his old team. That would be music to the ears of Choice, who turns 26 on Sunday. "I'm eager to show people how you make the best out of bad breaks," said Choice, usually the third banana in Dallas behind Marion Barber and Felix Jones from 2008-10 and then behind Jones and rookie DeMarco Murray this year. "I don't want no revenge. I just wanna go out there and ball. (But) every time I step on the field, I got a chip on my shoulder. Somebody tell you (that) you can't do something, somebody tell you (that) you're not good enough, you go out there and prove it. You play well, you ball and they shut their mouth." The Redskins, who are last in the NFC in rushing at 86.6 yards per game and have averaged just 46 yards on 14 carries in the three contests since losing starting running back Tim Hightower to a season-ending knee injury, could certainly use a spark from the energetic Choice, who averaged 4.6 yards per carry during his Cowboys tenure. "He's a hard runner," Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan said. "He knows where to run with the ball. ... He finds a way to get to the hole, move those linebackers and cut it back."

blagrange 2 Posted November 19, 2011 The frustration of owning a shanny back is not worth waiting for the stud to emerge. drop all redskin RB's from your roster to reduce your headaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Gladstone 33 Posted November 19, 2011 Choice just hit the wire in my league. I wouldn't touch him with Dan Snyder's pencil d!ck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R8RMick 242 Posted November 19, 2011 Well... I've got Helu in a keeper league. It could be intriguing next season if they get healthy on the O-line, and of course if they run the Rat. They need a new Jobs Program in DC... Redskins HC and OC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
typhus 13 Posted November 19, 2011 If the Skins had Arian Foster, Joe Blow, and Tashard Choice, you still wouldnt have a clue which one the Rat would run on sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted November 19, 2011 Helu had one chance and did fantastic with that one chance. Why no love from the Rat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d'eaux boy 5 Posted November 20, 2011 If the Skins had Arian Foster, Joe Blow, and Tashard Choice, you still wouldnt have a clue which one the Rat would run on sunday. My guess would be Joe Blow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cuda1337 1 Posted November 20, 2011 Due to RB problems, I'm stuck having to play a rat RB. I'm thinking of playing Helu again. I figure in a PPR league he'll at least get me 5-6 points from catches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
