I just don't see Shanny wanting a 235 lb, 4.6something 40 time tank. I think he wants faster and more agile.. How many of the top 20 RBs list at over 220 lbs? I bet it's not more than 2 or 3.



well, we already have Ben Tate and Dion Lewis... I think that we've got "small and quick" covered.... adding "big and crushing" can't hurt, right?

Browns is the Browns

... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

Mack was a different animal. Literally. He was a beast. Loved to hit. Hyde is smarter and not as big. And he accelerates to the second level better.

I remember a game when Webster Slaughter caught a TD pass and took his helmet off before he got back to the bench. Mack wasn't thinking and gave Slaughter a ceremonious head butt while Slaughter's helmet was off. Slaughter gave him that "you're crazy" look while he checked his head for blood.

I vow to smack everyone who says the importance of the running back is diminished in the NFL today.

What does he favor in the red zone? Hard to argue against Bettis size tight and short to score. I like Hyde.


No idea. Also hard to argue in favor of taking a situational runner with the #35 pick.. The RB is losing favor in the NFL, the 230+ lb running back is losing favor even faster...

I'm not against Hyde, just not exactly in favor of it either.. when Shanny was with the Redskins Morris accounted for almost all of their rushing TDs.. well or RGIII.. and Morris is 215 or so.. maybe that was necessity because that was his only option, I don't know.

He faster then 4.6... he pulled up with a hammie during the combine when he ran. He's a high 4.4- low 4.5
