    Good year bad year..

    Bad year..

    Tomlinson, won't really have a bad year just more like 2005 than 2006.

    Westbrook, his work load was heavier than ever last year by over 60 carries. Due for a slight melt down.

    Travis henry. Will end up alternating carries with mike bell.


    Good year..

    Edge, still some gas in the tank playing in an offense that could emerge as borderline elite.

    Alexander, look for another 1300 yard season.

    Reggie bush, will have a similar season as last but with a larger role in the running game.
     
  2. i would hope so about bush because he was the only reason that i even thought twice about watching the saints, and tomlinson is going to have just as good of a year i think, hes only getting better for now

    Titankid..

    Tomlinson has a career 4.3 ypc average including 2 seasons below 4 yards a pop. Last year he averaged 5.2 ypc clearly better than average almost by a yard even for him. He's not getting better running backs his age hardly ever get better. If anything his heavy workload could see him going down hill in a year or two.

    Right now tomlinson has 287 more carries than eddie had after the 2000 season that broke him. That's a lot of carries! Many guys are winding down their careers after that many carries.

    It's stupid because the chargers have had the most talented backup in football yet they run tomlinson into the ground. No reason turner could'nt have taken 50-75 more of the carries last year considering the chargers won so many easy games.
     
  4. how old is he like 28?? people say that running backs primes are around 31

    Eddie also had a more physical running style. Tomlinson uses his speed and vision to get his yardage.

    Alexander is going to have a great year and Dominic Rhodes. Because Rhodes will have to help Russell out of the backfield and Alexander is going to be healthy.

    Kid..

    The prime for a runningback starts when they enter the nfl. By 31 most are done.

    Eddie george entered at age 23 and promptly had 5 great seasons and then went down hill. His career was basically over at 31. Maybe you are confusing RB with QBs but even then you are probably wrong.
