    He's an animal.

    Marcus should get a little break this week against Furman. I'm hoping he gets under 10 carries, because we're going to need him against Auburn and Alabama.

    It's really surprising that Steve Spurrier has become so dedicated to the run game. I love the production I've seen from Lattimore, but Spurrier needs to give the ball to some of the other backs - Kenny Miles and Jarvis Giles are more than capable backups. I don't know why they aren't getting some carries.

    Keep an eye on WR Alshon Jeffery is turning into one of the best wideouts in college football - he reminds me a lot of Keyshawn Johnson.

    Lol at "infant sized running back," especially when Mike Tolbert was trucking people earlier. But that's Norvelous Norv we're talking about.

    Yeah...Tolbert had a hell of a run to get them down there and then Turner just completely killed their momentum with shitty play calls - sounds familiar.

    He only had 5 carries before he got injured.

    According to NFL Network's Jason LaConfora, it's not bad.

    He could have come back into the game, but the win was well in hand.
    I guess the full extent won't be known until tomorrow though.

    Too bad, because he was looking good before the injury. One game in the pouring rain, the next game he gets injured....he's having a bit of bad luck to start the year.

    You're right, I'm a terrible poster. Everything I say and do is to troll the forum and piss people off. You're just angry because TGG goldenboy Ryan Mathews is off to a poor start. That 'friendliest poster' moniker you have is fitting buddy.

    NO, I could careless if Mathews is a star.

    You're a hit and run poster that doesn't contribute a thing that attemps, poorly I might add, to piss off others....a Troll. Don't worry about my "Moniker", it's none of your business.

    I wouldn't go any futher...move on...you've be warned.

    Best with a leg up on Spiller and Mathews early. Of course, Jahvid's playmaking ability was never questioned, rather his ability to stay healthy.

    Can someone explain why you draft a playmaking RB in the top 10 and then proceed to give him a paltry eight touches a game? One carry today? WTF?

    Look, I'm not trying to turn this into some great battle of words.. but you took a shot at me first, then take another one and now tell me to move on? Doesn't work like that. I don't care if you're a mod, it's pretty foolish to take that kind of stance though. That'd be like me throwing a punch at you and warning you not to hit back otherwise I'll call the police.

    Whatever though, look through my post history, I don't care. Sure, I use some foul language and make some bad jokes here or there but most of my posts have some kind of substance and add to the thread. I post here because I'm a jets fan and like to provide my insight and opinion. I don't explicitly enter threads and make fun of people or not follow rules to be some hard-ass. Are 100% of my posts scholarly: including extrapolated data, player reviews, game photos, and projections? No, but who's are?

    They haven't figured out how to get Spiller the ball yet. They had backs capable of running the ball, they just have a terrible line. Spiller was drafted to be dynamic, but he can't do anything with that line. Needs to get the ball in space.

    Its early, but the returns on Best look promising. Actually, quite happy for the Lions that they seem to be hitting w/some draft picks. I was not a fan of Pettigrew & he's shown flashes here & there.

    No your acting like an asshole, posting in this thread just to be a dick to Mr E. No doubts about it. Its the classic defenition of trolling, trying to stir up trouble with out crossing the line, its a sad little attempt at that.

    See, the thing is, most of us around here act like men when it comes to disagreements. I came out against what E posted in the thread where you both got baned. We sent messages back and fourth about it and are cool. I still look forward to his post and he provides a great deal of insight on the NCAA game for those of us without the amount of time to scour the net and other sources to see good prospects.

    Then you go after WW85 who won friendliest poster for a reason. He's also a great source in the draft forum, sets up the Sites mocks and runs them, and adds tons of info to the prospect discussion. Oh and he's a Mod, so thats kinda fucking silly on your part.

    You on the other hand provide nothing. You add nothing to any discussion. Your just here to be a whiny little pirck and get your kicks. Why don't you run along to some site that people like you thrive at, because there is no want or need of you here. You don't have substance. You have nothing but whiny little jokes and Jabs at well respected people.

    Shonn Greene was a beast during his first two weeks as a professional football player.

    Shut the fuck up about this, forever.

    The only rookie running back that's performed better this season is Jahvid Best. He's pulled off some amazing shit so far. I'm still skeptical about his health...his talent/speed was never in question.

    CJ Spiller has 8 carries for 9 yards through two games.

    Ryan Mathews has 24 carries for 101 yards through two games.

    I'm willing to bet that both of them are going to be solid players in this league eventually.
