re: I think the nega-Yeldon talk is going to really fuel his offseason

I couldn't care less if he's a violent runner or not. The fact of the matter is he picks up yards and he scores touchdowns. There is more than one way to run the football.

I'm with you. He's effective and that is all that matters. Once he fixes the fumbles everything will be fine. The whole "he goes down at the line" argument is only really this past season. Didn't happen near as much as a Freshman, it was just a "slump" and for that to be his "slump" (well fumbles too), it ain't that bad.

I think a lot of people, myself included, just prefer the violent runners like Trent or Eddie because they make the defense give up quicker. TJ could run lower, and if he did he'd be even better, but it isn't the type of back he is. He's a great back on third down because of his ability as a receiver (though this past season he had a lot of drops) and his ability to block. He's a good runner because he has insane burst and good vision. He isn't a burner, and he isn't a bruiser. Nothing wrong with it as long as he produces, but some people just think he could be better. I've got no problem with how he's played, and while I think he starts in 2014, I think Henry may end up with the most carries simply because he can do more damage to a defense than Yeldon.
