As for TJ vs Drake, Drake has better burst but TJ is better between the tackles and getting tough yards.

This has always been the way I've viewed the two. This definitely played out in the first half. Seemed like Drake was going down fairly easy on first contact early in the game.

In the second half though, Drake looked a lot tougher. He was really moving the pile a few times which was a pleasant surprise. I think someone may have gotten in his ear at halftime because he really looked different later in the game in terms of toughness and power. He's clearly fast as hell. Probably the fastest RB we have right now. There's a chance Kamara may be faster, but I don't really know since I haven't seen him run yet. I hope we see more tough yards like that from Drake because he's clearly one of those backs that will break a big run off if he can get past the first level.
