RBs don't last much past 30, need to stay young. James hasn't been used very much all year, that's why he had good legs yesterday. As posted earlier, RBs are a dime a dozen, if one doesn't work out you easily get another. There are a bunch of really good backs available in this draft as well. Back when the season started we were soooooooo deep at RB, LJ, Smith, Charles, Battle, Savage. And Cox is gonna be a STUD FB!!!! There are 5-6 really good RBs available in this draft, and probably more that have yet to declare. Also a couple of really good FAs available if we want a few years experience in the backfield.

Jamal Charles was fitting in better then LJ was. Does anyone else wonder how much a power back like LJ would really do if we stuck with this spread offence?

Because they are a dime a dozen...Sproles is small and fast and runs hard, but he would be nothing without his line. Put him behind our line and he won't do jack...he will be a screen guy and that is it...We can't afford to overpay RB's, we need linemen....

That's really what the league is moving to anyway. He can hold up pretty damn well, too. He had about a billion touches at KSU and was never really banged up.

But I don't think he can handle an entire season in that role. One game is not 16 weeks of defenses planning for you (Which really didn't happen this week), and taking the pounding that an NFL defense hands out week after week. Sproles is great in his role, and can obviously step in for a game or two. He can only work out in a 2 back offense. Nowhere do you see a guy like Sproles as the feature back, always as part of a 1-2 punch. Even LT, LJ, Peterson etc.. get all banged up during a full season. Sproles is good, very good.
