RB's by tier....

[Mr. G]

Here's my tiering NOT based on last year's numbers but on how I foresee them being ranked at season's end.

Deuce - will see the endzone on the ground 14x and air 5x while racking up 2100 total yards.
----------
Jamal - underrated because of legal issues but will be fired up to prove he is the best rb in the NFL.
Portis - will be a workhorse
Edge - will build upon last year's second half
LT2 - will suffer slightly because of revamped o-line.
----------
Alexander - very close to second group but averaging 20 carries a game and Sea's propensity to spread the ball hurts value some.
Barlow - 2000 combined yards
--------
Westbrook - the man in a ball control o with TO to keep d's honest
Ahman - will play in 13 games max, has a lot of mileage
Priest - will also miss some time
--------
Freddy T - more td's hawked
Dillon - spread O, nice rebound though
TJones - underrated
Henry - solid but will lose carries
Rudy - steady all season
SDavis - mileage but a lot left
--------
DDavis - low scoring O but conservative
KJones - 1100, 8 td's ROYear
JJones - too good to come off the field except in the fourth quarter
TJ - second coming of Earl Campbell
CBrown - will be the workhorse
Bennett - injury bug bites into numbers
--------
Faulk - will play in 8-10 games
QGriffin/Bell - RBBC by week 5
--------
Barber - O woes
Martin - td woes
Suggs - rbbc woes
Staley - lack of big play woes
-------
Dunn - overrated if possible
Garner - injury/ Pittman
Wheatley - too many backs there to compete with.

you have tiki too low, dayne will be a non-factor once the season starts (he stunk the rest of preseason after his so-called "breakthrough" first game).

I also think people are scaring themselves away unnecessarily from fred taylor...he will break enough long plays to score a solid number of TD's.

Mr. G those are some pretty..not necessarily crazy rankings
but i think holmes should be higher, i agree that ahman wont play a full season, everyone ranks him so high b/c of last yr when it was a career yr..
i dont think jamal will do nearly as good, alota yrds but not so many TD's

those are just about perfect IMO plindsey Anyone watching the Michigan vs. Miami Ohio game? Not to hijack this thread, but dammit throw the ball Henne!!
