Two stud's in the same backfield started long long ago with Hall of Famers to be Red "The Galloping Ghost" Grange and Bronko "NWA World Champion" Nagurski with the Bears, yep, run run and run. Big Jim Brown had a Big10 hurdlers/100 champ Bobby Mitchell beside him for five seasons,of course the classic.....Larry Csonka & Mercury Morris.

Zeke isn;t what I would call a classic power back, but he runs hard inside, obviously Pollard has some serious jets so, do what teams used to used two back sets like those mentioned above and....

Jim Taylor & Paul Hornung
Rick Casares & Willie Galimore
Matt Snell & Emerson Boozer
Keith Lincoln & Paul Lowe
Hewitt Dixon & Clem Daneils

Army once had Mr. Inside Doc Blanchard a big bully with 10.0 speed. and Mr.Outside Glenn Davis a sprinter at 9.6 both won a Heisman.

Use two back sets and run the ball, toss in some CeeDee Lamb and roll with it.

Should have been Herschel Walke and Tony Dorsett, Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen.

- Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen
- Tony Dorsett and Hershel Walker
- Fred Taylor and Maurice Drew Jones
- LaDanianian Thomlinson and Darren Sproles
- Jerome Bettis and Duce Staley
- Warrick Dunn and Mike Alstott
- Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt
- John Riggins and Joe Washington
- DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart
- Rickey Watters and Charlie Gardner
- Ickey Woods and James Brooks
- Deuce McAlister and Reggie Bush
- Freeman McNeil and Johnny Hector
- Larry Johnson and Priest Holmes
- Roger Craig and Wendell Tyler
- Gerald Riggs and William Andrews
- Kevin Mack and Ernest Byner

Most those fans know nothing about those good old two back days. Why the NFL got away from that...??? Hell the old cross buck, fake to the lead back handoff/toss out to the end sweep, oldest play in football but ya need two backs.

Need both backs!

I agree 100%. Plus it keeps them healthy and balanced

Larry Czonka Jim Kiick and Mercury Morris on an undefeated SB winner. No one will ever do that again . Goidfella probably wants a 20 game season with rotating rosters to fill in for the wounded .

The running game is all but extinct as we know it now. Fantasy football geeks and no attention span having millennials have made the league keep changing the rules so we get a score every 3-4 minutes. They can't sit still and watch a nice 15 play drive with 12 running plays eating up 10 minutes off the clock.

Between 1951 and 1955 the Ram RB combo of Tank Younger and Deacon Dan Towler were each an All Pro and each played in 4 pro bowls, and both were averaging over five yards a carrty, that had be the ultimate in RB combo play. But.....neither in the HOF because they shared carries.
