re: Harold Joiner Huge Difference Maker?

He may be a good back, I don't believe he is any better than Leonard or Derrius, but the difference makers are the hog's up front opening holes. If LSU can't get the olinemen to open holes, it won't matter who lines up behind them. (Except Barry Sanders) Runningbacks are only going to make a difference if their blocking can make a difference. And the past 2 years, the blocking has been subpar against some teams. But, if LSU can get some top notch olinemen, then yes, Joiner can be a difference maker. But, if they do, then there's other backs who could be difference makers too. Chris Curry, Brousette etc. Got to get the hogs though, unless, like I said, you got Barry Sanders in your backfield.
