Collins or Williams?

Do you want them splitting carries this year or would you rather see one take over and get the lions share?

I like them splitting carries. They both have different strengths. JWill is the bigger back who can truck a guy and keep going. He also has a higher top end speed than Collins. However, Collins has elite vision IMO and a wicked jump cut. He can make things happen out of nothing between the tackles.

Given the amount of rushing we're going to do they're going to split carries and both break 1,000 yards barring injuries.


Williams is stronger and faster. Collins is shiftier.


Expect Williams to be the de facto starter but both should get 15 to 20 carries a game. Add in Marshall for 5 to 10 carries and assume we're aiming for 45 to 50 rushes as a team per game.

To be honest, J Will seems to be more of a threat to take one to the house on any given play, plus he has proven to be a pretty good receiver out of the backfield.

I am okay with them splitting time. Keeps them fresher later in the game.

ETA: And Korliss Marshall might be an even bigger threat to house it than J Will.

He doesnt have break away speed though. He can make you miss and bust through a hole but will get caught. Marshall or J Will have the speed to take it to the house.

I'm voting Williams. I think he's been way under-utilized the past 2 seasons, but I think that'll change. The coaches have raved about him this offseason. Meanwhile, Collins has been under fire a little bit (probably just trying to light a fire under him).

Either way, they're both great backs. I just think JWill is going to have the bigger year.

maybe he needs lipo and they can inject that into les' brain- that way there's something in there besides just empty space.
