Edgerrin James Calls His Time In Arizona A Bad Situation

Free-agent running back Edgerrin James, who got his wish via a release from the Arizona Cardinals but since hasn't drawn much interest, remains confident that he'll contribute somewhere in 2009. He also says that his lack of high-end production with the Cardinals wasn't his fault. "Of course I've still got it", James recently told Dan Steinberg of SportingNews.com's The Sporting Blog. "I was in a bad situation [in Arizona]. Just look at my track record. I averaged 4.5 yards a game the last five, six games. Trust me, there's nothing wrong with me. It was a passing team. You're not gonna find a top two or three passing team with a top running game. Choose one or the other. Show me a team that's No. 1 passing and No. 1 running. You ain't got enough time." Still, no running team or passing team has been clamoring to sign the man who currently ranks eleventh all-time in career rushing yards.

I'd trade Marone and pick up Edge as a Pats fan. Maroney cant stay healthy, it would be worth the gamble to me.

 

As long as Edge is used sparingly he can be effective for a while.

 

I love James as a backp for most teams, as long as he understands his role he should excel at it

 

He does realise he used to play for the Colts doesn't he?

 

well the 99 rams were 1st in overall passing and I think 5th in overall rushing. May not be 1st and 1st but pretty damn close if you ask me

 

He's old give him a damn break, he can't remember everything from 1999.
