That was some crazy play calling from our Head Coach in waiting.

Look for Forte to break away from the other rookies this weekend....

Forte is hands down the best back in this class. In my opinion, Felix will be like Michael Turner, he be here for 5-6 years, than get a major pay day in the off-season, if Barber is still here and healthy entering his 30's(Which I doubt)

Where are all those Mendenhall lovers anyways? That kid should have stayed in college.

I still wish we would have picked Johnson over Jones, as have many other members on this board.

He looks pretty good...and has a great matchup this week. Most importantly, he is the starter for him team, so he gets the workload. His 3.8 ypc is pretty lame, but as long as he's gettin the rock, the guy is heading for a 1200-1300 yard rushing season.

I think both Stewart and Johnson (and maybe Slaton too) are also heading for very big years...but they don't get the workload and may not match Forte in the end in ttl production. It is impressive that Johnson has only 10 less rushing yards on 25 less carries, while scoring more too....even in the redzone. If Mcfadden get healthy, he could go off too.

Forte is doing really good better than what I thought and Mendenhall is doing worse than what I thought he would.

 

[jobberone]

Forte fits that team. I don't think he's that good. Relatively speaking that is. Stewart and Johnson are my non-Cowboy favorites.

Forte is doing really good better than what I thought and Mendenhall is doing worse than what I thought he would.

Now that wasn't so hard was it? It feels good to let it out.

 

[alby]

great class of RB's this year. too bad Mendenhall got hurt.

 

[Future]

That is a quality group of young running backs. Did not think we would see this much production from them.
