Is there any doubt that IVORY should be the feature back?

    At the end of the game when the Defense is shot, which RB would be harder to stop? Crazy Horse Ivory or Now you see him Now you don't CJ2? Thoughts?

    On a second note, I think it will be fantastic to see the in-game competition between all 3 RBs. We know Ivory can't catch and CJ can. I bet we see Ivory working hard to improve his catching game just not to be outdone by CJ....and visa verse. They will stay friends and work hard on their games in areas that weren't a huge deal before just to try and get better than the other guy.

    CJ, Ivory, and Powell will all become better backs just from playing next to each other and the competitive juices that runs through them.

    Ivory had one of the longer receptions of the night against the Giants.

    Honestly if they can stay healthy, we could be set at RB for a long time. With the current market for RBs being what it is,.. it might not be hard to lock them all up for a few years without busting the bank.

    Huh? wasn't disagreeing with you, just making an observation related to his catching ability. I absolutely think they're going to feed off each other and hopefully the committee approach lets them stay healthy for 16+ games.

    We have triple threats at running back, and I hope Marty tells Rex to go fuck himself when he calls for the "wildcat".

    CJ2? I know he's dropped off a bit, but that seems harsh.

    We now have the luxury of using any of three RB's needed for the situation. If we have the lead in the 4th, and their defense is worn down, Ivory banging them followed by CJ, or Powell's speed will be great.

    haha that's not what I meant about CJ...I meant "Would it be harder for a tired defense to stop a runner like CJ who's FAST or a RB like Ivory who's a Raging Bull and can break tired, weak arm tackles"?
