Re: Matt Jones: 2nd fastest RB in NFL
DHB is not a running back. Something about that statement isn't adding up.

Among all ball carriers, Darrius Heyward-Bey was the only player to record a higher speed.

You're right. Changed the title.

No biggie. I think NFL.com and Rich Tandler both made the same mistake when they wrote it.

I'm going to say it again... This kid will go beast mode very soon... You can smell it. This OL gives him enough room to get to the second level with shoulders square... And it's obvious that he knows how to hit first, and what to do once he busts through. He will terrorize DB's.

Totally agree. This kid is going to be a stud. You can see the spark when he gets his hands on the ball.

More importantly, Jones reminded me of Riggo. Man, that was nice to witness. I'm thinking safeties and corners aren't going to be too thrilled to see Jones coming at them with a full head of steam. We're only two games in but this has me questioning whether or not AlMo will be here next year.[/quote]
Why can't we have two good RBs ?

We can, if we decide to pay him. He's an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. He's going to have a lot of interest.
