if you want to know you can find the posted 40 times for them coming out of high school, just do a little research such as I did

Our RBs are fine. It's our fans who don't seem to have great intelligence.

It doesn't seem like we have breakaway speed


Ford consistently runs away from people

Hill has had at least 3 runs this year where he is leaving DBs and safeties behind.

Most RB's don't have great speed. Getting 3-5 yards is what they are geared for.

Speed backs usually are situational.

We wont know their real times until they hit the combine. Besides the speedsters play on d because they dont weigh 230lbs.

Since you defend Leslie 90 percent of the time do you think his teams play to their potential or just good enough to win?

Easy answer: just good enough to win 82% of games.

Just look at final scores.

But this opinion does not mean I don't support Les.
I love and support my kids but that doesn't mean I don't encourage them and hope they do better.

I agree... But our running backs should not only be faster, but bigger and stronger. I want 250 pounders with 3% body fat running 4.2 forties with the ability to cut on a dime.

But I am thankful that we've got a handful of running backs that would be starters on most of the BCS teams in the country. #fortunate

Ridley doesn't have break away speed but Stevan is emerging into a really good NFL running back

BTW, posting on TD 10,000 times doesn't qualify you for anything other than to show that you spend a lot of time in front of the keyboard.


B-b-but, posting dancing bananas 5,000 times means you're smarter and more important than everyone else!
