ya the position has changed a lot - although there does seem to be a bit of a resurgence in recent years with these young rb's coming in and shouldering the full load like Elliot, David Johnson, Bell and in their first games Fournette and Hunt for the chiefs.

If you compare their first three years in the NFL, it isn't even close. Beckham blows Julio out of the water

lol Fournette beat out Yeldon. That right there is funny


Yet never had any hardware in college since this is the SEC rant, not the NFL rant.


Doesn't bother LF one bit. Only you apparently.

Equally weird, imo.

Don't know, don't care.

None of them will be helping Bama win a national championship this year.

It was one game. Eddie Lacy had a great first season. How about people let the kid play a season first before they start touting him as the next great back.

OK but Julio is pretty widely considered the best WR in the league right now along with AB, they are generally put at either 1 or 2 in most every ranking. OBJ is a close 3rd at this point. I understand about the first three year thing but i really don't care this is all so dumb - carry on without me though.

Mark Ingram- 5 carries for 17 yards
Adrian Peterson had 6 carries for 18 yards in the same game. Peyton just doesn't know what to do with running backs, that's all there is to it.

The Saints losing both tackles off of an already sketchy offensive line doesn't help.

Has L7F met Radio#10 over the middle yet?
When he does he will fold like a cheap tent. It wouldn't be the first time.
Corndogs with anything Bama on their pea brains.

tGrind may take your mind off Bama Saturday...

Trent Richardson had a decent rookie season, too.

I know, but pulling up some easy stats andarguing mindless dribble while i drink my coffee is a nice way to start the day.

I guess it beats reading a liberal leaning newspaper.

Rub their faces in what? 3.8? Seems like a reach. That's Yeldon's average.

He also faced 8 man fronts more than half the time while Blake Bortles was sucking it up, as usual.

I honesty don't understand LSU and other SEC fans regaling in our RB's NFL woes.

You want our RBs labeled as shitty. If they are shitty (which they are not); it just means that shitty RBs ran rough shod over your defenses for years. Why constantly point that out?

It's a verifiable fact and is all over fantasy sites and the like. He faced 8+ in the box something like 60% of the time.

You're welcome to look it up.
