I'd start Barber3 and relieve him with Thompson. A-Train on the bench. I wouldn't even play him unless the other two just can't pick up the blitz.

Barber3 runs H-A-R-D. He flat punishes people when they try to tackle him. He's also a very good blocker and is just as nifty in his cuts as Thompson.

Thompson runs F-A-S-T. He can break a game wide open with his speed. He doesn't have a lot of moves (ala Dickerson), but his speed outside has to give defensive coordinators nightmares.

Run both of those guys about an even number of carries and we should get good results. As they gain experience, they'll get better and better.

When JJ comes back, we should have a very good trio of runners, with JJ being the headliner.




LOL, What defensive coordinators are you talking about? I'm laughing at what you said, I mean no disrespect, really. I just find it funny that you said that, and you are not the only person who has said that.

But the truth is the defensive coordinators around the league do not even know Thompson, really he has yet to do anything to make them fear him.

Let him start to burn defenses with long runs, homerun runs, and then my friend you would be correct in saying that he puts fear into the defenses and the coordinators.

I don't buy that TT is faster than Newman. Newman was a Big 12 sprint champion - you just don't see many great sprinters that weight 225. Newman is amongst the fastest players in the NFL. TT is probably amongst the fastest RBs but I've yet to see a display of great football speed yet from him like outrunning a DB who has an angle on him.


Dawg, he has not made it past the 1st level of the defense to give a DB an opportunity to see if they can run him down from an angle.

He has hit a couple of wedges on KO returns. He has looked fast but not blazing fast. He doesn't look nearly as fast as Aveion Cason was who played RB here in 2003.

Barber or TT? Does it really matter? As long as it isn't A-stain i'm happy.
