NFC East Position Rankings: Running Back

stevsta

¿Que?
lol im sorry but this post reeks of fanboysism @ westbrook and portis being 4th and 3rd the duo @ NY was the best until fire left now their game takes a hit as we would have to see how jones does carrying more of the role with bradshaw trying to replicate what ward did last year

and marion barber and felix jones while they are good are not the elite in the east even with tashard the passing game takes a hit this year and the main focus will now be on witten and the running game until someone on the cowboys wr unit can prove they are actually a #1(roy williams)

imo

portis
jacobs,bradshaw,giants Line*imo one of the best if not the best in the nfl right now
westbrook underutilized
barber,felix,choice

ROFL @ Skins being last. Skins are #2 in the east behind the giants, and that is only because of the OL.

Clinton Portis ran for 1,400 yards last year. Even when he is injured, Ladell Betts is more than capable of taking over. In fact, in 2006, betts ran for 1,000 yards in just 9 games. Teams have tried to pry him away from the skins.


Here's a few numbers for you from 2008.


Cowboys total rushing: 1,743

Clinton Portis Rushing: 1,487


Lol @ thinking the cowboys have better RBs than the redskins.

Edit: And don't give me bullshit about injuries. Redskins face injuries just like every other team in the league.

Edit 2: Just because I can't stop, I looked at the stats for Cowboys RBs. Not a single back has yet to break 1,000 yards on a season. Pathetic.

The Cowboys have 3 really good HB that can come in and start. Barber is a beast when healthy and Jones was averaging 9 yrds a carry before he went down. Choice came in and really good days against 3 strong run D's.

Not 1 of their RB's have topped a 1,000 yard season EVER. To say they are better than the redskins is bullshit.

The numbers do not lie
 
LOL, when I first glanced at the article I thought they were going from best to worst, not worst to best. How could the Cowboys possibly have the best RBs in the NFC East? The Giants had two more 1000-yard rushers than the Cowboys, and Portis almost gained more yards than Barber/Jones/Choice combined!
 
Here's some stats on comparing Clinton Portis to Marion Barber from just last season alone when Barber finally became the full time starter.

Marion Barber

15 Games | 13 Games Started | 235 Attempts | 885 Yards | 7 TD | 3.5 Yard Avg | 7 Fumbles

Clinton Portis

16 Games | 16 Games Started | 342 Attempts | 1,487 Yards | 9 TD | 4.3 Yard Average | 3 Fumbles


The last time Clinton Portis played only 13 games was back in 2003. You know what he did? He rushed for 1,315 yards. Not a meager 885. Hell, Ladell Betts started 9 games in 06 and STILL rushed for over 1,000 yards. Marion Barber would be 3rd string on the redskins.

This is how the east looks IMO:

1.Giants (Only because of their OL)
2.Redskins






Distant 3. Cowboys
4.Eagles


The Redskins/Giants are miles above the cowboys/eagles in terms of rushing.

brian westbrook is the best singular running back in the division, but as for running back corps. third is probably right for philly.
 

:jonesy:

Really, is that really you're list.

Portis and Westbrook somehow are always underrated and Brandon Jacobs is the best power back in the NFL and can arguably be put into the list for being on of the top 5 backs in the NFL.

Portis and Betts have been together for years and are one of the best tandems in the NFL.

Westbrook is a do it all back and Mccoy is a great capable back up for him.

Barber did not show up last year, and Jones was injured so its possible that he lost a step. Choice is eh.

1. Giants/Redskins
2. Redskins/Giants
3. Eagles
4. Cowboys
 
1. Giants
2. Redskins

The list, as aforementioned, stinks of homerism. Cowboys #1? Right... :smh:
 
I see anytime Dallas is shown in some good light everyone shuts it down... so we will see this season what's good

You can't seriously believe the cowboys have the best rushing offense in the east. their the only team to not have a single RB reach 1,000 yards EVER

Ever? seriously? Dallas is known for having 1000 yard backs.... Barber missed it 2 years ago by 25 yards. Barber and Jones was both injured last year and Choice wasnt going to make 1000 yards in 3 games.

Seriously?

Seriously how can anyone argue the top spot? The Giants easily have the best offensive line in the division, some may say the best in the league. And you better forget about stopping Jacobs on the goaline, you are only going to get yourself hurt.

I think the Redskins could see a drop off in the run game next season. Portis in his last 5 games had an abysmal 2.9 YPC with only a pair of touchdowns. You can blame it on injuries, offensive line problems, or even Portis but facts are facts and the Redskins running game couldn't get it done during crunch time last year.

Cowboys running game should be in the top 5 NFC next year if all things go well and injuries don't hold them back once again. With a bunch of big bruising offensive lineman and a triple headed dragon in the backfield, they may have the highest ceiling of the bunch. But you know how the Boys are.. will they EVER live up to their potential? Probably not.

With the Eagles, its simple for me, I don't trust Westbrook to go a whole season nor do I trust Andy Reid to get him the ball in the right situations. I'm also not on the bandwagon for McCoy, he has to prove he can play against NFL defenses before I consider him a legit threat.

Seriously?

Barber missed the 1000 yard mark by 25 yards because he was the BACKUP running back two seasons ago. Barber didn't have great stats this past season because he played hurt throughout the entire year. He had a rib injury in week 1. In November, he had a toe injury that affected his play for the rest of the season. You saw how Tomlinson has been affected by toe injuries. It's a very serious issue for running backs. Marion Barber waited until the end of the season to have surgery done to repair the damage. As you know, Felix Jones had a season ending injury last season after starting off fabulously with a an average of 9 yards per carry. Choice didn't get extended time playing until the Steelers game in December. Therefore, I think it's unfair to judge the Dallas running backs for not having 1000 yard seasons. They really haven't had the chance to exceed.

Now, I'm not saying the Cowboys running backs are better than the rest of the NFC East. I think as a unit, they are better off than the Redskins and Eagles, but not the Giants. When you look at a team's running game, having one great running back really doesn't cut it anymore. Clinton Portis is better than any running back Dallas has; however, the depth clearly favors Dallas' talented "Earth, Wind, & Fire 2.0." Brian Westbrook is probably the best overall running back in the division. It's too early to say Lesean McCoy will have a substantial impact, but I can be persuaded that the Eagles' run game is better than Dallas' because of their Offensive Line being better than Dallas'. The Giants are definitely going to rely on the running game this year with their tandem of Jacobs and Bradshaw, because of their lack of proven receivers. With their amazing Offensive Line, I can see the Giants being in the top 3 in rushing this year without a doubt.

Flame on :2thumbs:


Um Yes, seriously. Look at the stats kid. Not one of the RBs on their roster has EVER reached 1,000 yards. I don't care if he missed by 1 yard, he still did not reach 1,000 yards.

Enough with the bullshit "Oh he was injured!" Clinton Portis played with second-degree MCL Sprain for the final 5 games of last season. Injuries are a part of the game. Saying someone "could have been great if he weren't injured" is complete bullshit. If you want to say that, then Charles Rogers was the best WR in the league during his first 3 seasons. I mean, seriously, how can you be the top in your division if you can't go a full NFL season? The fact that the cowboys RB corps cannot stay healthy is just another point why they are not the best in the East. You can have all the talent in the world, doesn't mean shit if your just sitting on the sideline.

Also, I like how you mention Felix Jones would have been great if he hadn't been injured because he average 9 yards a carry on just 30 (THIRTY) attempts through 6 (SIX) games. If he was really that good, he'd get more than just 5 attempts a game. When he has more than 200 attempts in a season, then lets see if he can keep up his 9 yards a carry. I mean, shit, Clinton Portis had 342 attempts, more than 10 times that of Felix Jones and still averaged 4.3 yards.

The Cowboys RBs are nothing but potential. The Redskins RBs have proved they can compete in the league. To say the Cowboys RBs even come close to the skins is a complete and total joke. Barber played in 15 games (Though he only started 13) and couldn't eclipse 1,000 yards. Betts, our BACKUP RB, eclipsed 1,000 yards in just 9 games in a previous season.

Do they have the potential to be good? Yes. Are they good right now? No. They have not proven they are a top tier RB corps yet. All they have proven is that they are injury prone and not one of them can play a full NFL season. Potential means next to nothing in the NFL. Ryan Leaf "had potential." Alex Smith "Had potential." Mike Williams (The WR) "had potential."

Okay the Giants had "100" more attempts than Dallas gained between 700-800 more yards, gained only 7 more TD's and YPC was higher... Damn if Dallas ran the Ball more

The Redskins had roughly 80 more carries than Dallas, so they had roughly 400 more yards and TD's were the same... also they averaged ".1" more YPC than Dallas... If Only Dallas Ran the Ball More


The Eagles Ran the ball roughly 30 more times than Dallas and didnt get more yards than Dallas despite this fact Dallas was roughly 30 yards ahead of Philly. Also Philly had 3 more TD's than Dallas.... Damn if Dallas ran the ball more....


I'm not exactly arguing with you but more so the second person in this post....

Um Yes, seriously. Look at the stats kid. Not one of the RBs on their roster has EVER reached 1,000 yards. I don't care if he missed by 1 yard, he still did not reach 1,000 yards.

Are we judging the RB corp or them as individuals? Also if a RB gets 1001 yards and the other gets 998 that doesnt mean the one with 1001 is better like you're trying to claim. That's dumb as hell. Also look at the Cowboys Roster... Felix is in his 2nd year now and Choice is now in his 2nd year. If Felix went on IR and Choice played 3 games and they were rookies of course they wont have anybody with 1000 yards dumbass. Barber missed it but he's the only seasoned vet RB on the team. That was a stupid comment.


Enough with the bullshit "Oh he was injured!" Clinton Portis played with second-degree MCL Sprain for the final 5 games of last season. Injuries are a part of the game. Saying someone "could have been great if he weren't injured" is complete bullshit. If you want to say that, then Charles Rogers was the best WR in the league during his first 3 seasons. I mean, seriously, how can you be the top in your division if you can't go a full NFL season? The fact that the cowboys RB corps cannot stay healthy is just another point why they are not the best in the East. You can have all the talent in the world, doesn't mean shit if your just sitting on the sideline.

Also, I like how you mention Felix Jones would have been great if he hadn't been injured because he average 9 yards a carry on just 30 (THIRTY) attempts through 6 (SIX) games. If he was really that good, he'd get more than just 5 attempts a game. When he has more than 200 attempts in a season, then lets see if he can keep up his 9 yards a carry. I mean, shit, Clinton Portis had 342 attempts, more than 10 times that of Felix Jones and still averaged 4.3 yards.

Seriously? He didn't even get to touch the ball that first game against the Redskins... Why? Becuz TO was crying about not getting the ball despite him being thrown the ball 20-25 times a game. So Felix did not get all the touches he could. Also with Garrett not knowing exactly what to do with him.... And aint you the same person that says "I Dont Care, 1000 yards is a 1000 yards." So if Felix got 1000 yards on 100 attempts what would you say about that? I bet you'd still be talking shit.

The Cowboys RBs are nothing but potential. The Redskins RBs have proved they can compete in the league. To say the Cowboys RBs even come close to the skins is a complete and total joke. Barber played in 15 games (Though he only started 13) and couldn't eclipse 1,000 yards. Betts, our BACKUP RB, eclipsed 1,000 yards in just 9 games in a previous season.

When you have a subpar QB chances are you'll run the ball more. and that's what they did... Dumb comment.

Okay the only 2 corps that has vets are the Giants and Redskins. Dallas and Philly are working with more so rookies. If Jacobs goes down so does the Running game for NY. If Westbrook goes down so does the Running game for Philly. Betts has shown up in place of Portis :2thumbs: but for you to say Dallas aint shit and they got what they got with injuries on the O-Line and with 2 of their main RB's... Please shut the Fuck up! I'm done with you.
