    It was more of a fact that of course 4 people could get more yards than 2.

    That's not true at all. There's only so many plays in a football game. Dividing 40 carries by 2 or by 4 is still 40 carries.

    Last year the Saints 4 RB's ran for a combined 2013 yards, and thats 6th best. Most other teams only use 2-3 RB's, and maybe have a QB help out.

    Bush will overtake Forte not long into the season. Forte is not Chicago's RB anymore methinks.

    Best tandem will likely be Chiefs since I think they're the only two on that list that will actually be getting 1/2 carries on a team. The rest are starter/backup or wouldn't even amount to 1 starting RBs carries combined.

    Charles worked best in a complimentary role and Peyton Hillis can easily be a workhorse. I think Charles is too explosive to keep out of the game though so it'll grind out to about 50/50 on carries.

    The Smash and Dash days were great, but Fisher is gone, and we have NFL WR's now. I don't think the Titans will lead the league in rushing or have an amazing 1-2 punch at RB again.

    Also, Jamie Harper is too good a receiver not to find himself in the flats catching screens.
