Running Back Tandems

June 3rd 2008 21:05
These days everybody says that it is important to have two good running backs and not just use the starter all the time. Is it really important though to run a two back system? Well if we look at the past three super bowl winners then it is important to have a two back system or even more. In 2005 the Steelers won the super bowl and they had a two back system. They used the brusing style of Jerome Bettis and the speed of Willy Parker to win the Super Bowl. In 2006 the Colts won the super bowl and they used Domanic Rhodes and Joseph Addai and that really worked well for them. Both running backs got a lot of carries throughout they year even with Peyton Manning throwing the ball and thus led them to a Super Bowl win. Last year was a little different with the Giants. They usually used three running backs in there system. Throughout the year they used Brandon Jacobs (who had the most carries), Derrick Ward, Reuben Droughns, and Ahmad Bradshaw (who came on late in the season). With the multiple runningbacks they were able to run the ball and eventually win the Super Bowl. By looking at the past three Super Bowl winners I believe it is important to have a two or more back system.


Now looking at this upcoming year I believe the teams with the best running back situations are the Minnesota Vikings, Washington Redskins, Carolina Panthers, St. Louis Rams, Philladelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennesee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, and the San Diego Chargers. I would love to hear who you think has the best running back system and/or if you agree with my stance on the two back system.

Spy Gate Asterick?

May 25th 2008 02:12
Alright so everyone knows about the Spy Gate incident with the New England Patriots. Just incase you dont know (which would be really surprising) the Patriots sense 2002 have been recording other teams practices and their signals to get a heads up against there apponent. Since 2002 the Patriots have been to 4 super bowls and have one 3 of them against the Rams, Panthers, and Eagles. Well there are people that believe that they should be stripped of those Super Bowls and others think there just atleast be an asterick in the record books because of the Spy Gate. Recently Joey Porter, of the Miami Dolphins, came out and brought up the idea of the asterick. So now theres discussion on if there should be one or not. There are people that believe we shouldnt worry about it and that they have been punished enough. Personally I believe that there should an asterick and that they need to be punished more. I mean what punishment is taking away a first round pick when they already had another one (and they took the one that was later in the draft) and they dont really need one anyways. Maybe its because the Patriots beat my team the Panthers in the super bowl but I have strong hatred towards the Patriots and when I found out about Spy Gate it felt to good to be true. Anyways to sum it up the Patriots cheated so they need to be punished even more and they should atleast have an asterick beside there name in the record book. Please comment and let me know what you think about this situation and feel free to disagree.

Upcoming NFL Season.

May 23rd 2008 01:41
This upcoming NFL season should be a pretty interesting one. There is a lot of hype for the new rookies recently drafted such as Derrick McFadden, Matt Ryan, and my personal favorite Jonathan Stewart. These rookies are suppose to make an instant impact and even take some teams to the next level, but one problem with these rookies though are that they all want a lot of money but they have yet to play or even practice in the NFL so then this will cause holdouts which can have a lot of negative effects on a team such as last years Russell holdout. Theres a lot more than just the rookies that will be interesting though how about the free agent signings that happend. It always seems like there are "big" signings every year but for the most part they tend to do worse with their new teams. I do think there will be some players that will make an impact this year such as DJ Hackett, Alge Crumpler, and Asante Samuel. Im sorry to all the the Michael Turner fans, even though I personally like him, but I dont think he will do much in Atlanta. One other thing that people think might be interesting is the chance of the New England Patriots going for a perfect season. Even though they came close last year I dont believe they will come even close to that this year and Im saying they lose atleast four against the Chargers, Colts, Steelers, and Cardinals (end of season and they would have playoff probably locked up). Anyways I would love to hear what you think about any of this or anything else about the upcoming NFL season.
