according to analysts in 2006 and 2009, neither could MJD or Rice.

j/k

I know, no way, but it'd be a cool story if another itty bitty became fantasy relevant.

I only watched the first half the video, but I did notice he does a great job of keeping his legs moving during contact. That's a great trait for a RB, especially for someone of his size to do that. If he can add a little bit of bulk to help absorb some hits, he might be pretty decent.

maybe i should have said neither were entrenched as starters mainly because of injuries. the Jags were happy to share the load to keep Taylor fresh, and Rice took McGahee's job in year 2 with the quickness.

Turner is coming off 1300 yard season in which Rodgers got only 57 carries. Both Rice and MJD got 2x-3x that amount of carries as rookies.

true, but we all expect Turner to decline...IF (big) Jacquizz ends up getting servicable looks it will probably be after injury or the coaching staff growing tired of seeing the clouds of dust.

I was just saying to keep an eye on him.

What do you think about TE Coby Fleener in indy? Slated #1 and don't rook QBs rely heavily on their TEs? Lacking decent WRs or RBs over there.

Everything changes when I see Preseason games...I always see something I like.

Usually. Especially when the rookie quarterback has the TE he relied heavily on in college.
