Running back updates: not much to report aparently:

Fantasy sac says: From the Article:

TAYLOR'S BEWITCHED ( )
The Jaguars are so concerned about running back Fred Taylor's lingering knee injury that they have begun searching for a replacement for him. Right now, unproven backup LaBrandon Toefield would be Jacksonville Jaguars ( ) featured back, but Jacksonville ( ) is not expected to be comfortable with that situation. Not even close.

Don't be surprised if in the coming weeks, and certainly before training camp, the Jaguars make a play for an available running back such as a Travis Henry or an Eddie George. But more and more, it looks like the Jaguars will be adding another veteran back.
Why is every mention of Running Backs has Travis Henry and Eddie George in the mix? Is that because there is no other namebrand running backs out there? My prediction, Henry stays in Buffalo ( ) as insurance to McGahee. They will have an unproven QB and Willis will get PLENTY of carries ( thats why his a a top 5 back) But he could get hurt, he already has some knee issues, so Buffalo NEEDS Henry ( ) there, just in case. As for George, he should retire its funny to even see him on the radar. here is a question why do they keep trying to use Faulk and George as RB's? Why not have them in the backfield and use them as another receiver option both have great hands and still have decent speed, I don't know really, I also don't know why the Wishbone ( ) formation is no longer used. Oh by the way Taylor is STILL a stud and will play more the Turftoe or whatever his name is.
