Type of running back you prefer

[V23]

Power, Speed, or Elusive?

Personally, I'd like to have a speed guy, like Chris Johnson. When he gets into the open field, you can't touch him.

 

[VC15]

Power back + Dominant run blocking = kill the heart of a defense

 

[MapleLeaf]

I'd prefer a guy who has it all, if I don't, have 1 guy who is speedy and elusive and then have a bruiser.

Power back, we all know they tear apart the defense, than bring in that speedy, so POWER BACK.

Elusiveness and Speed is the greatest combination on earth. A few quick moves and your into the open field and with enough speed you'll be into the endzone.

big guy wears them down.
Tom Coughlin figured that out... and Laron Landry got a first hand experience week 1.

Speed Back

I like a bit of everything...i'll call it the mix.

 

[getyappcrnredy24]

I'd say a guy like Marion Barber, who has moves in the open field as far as elusiveness, and hes the hardest guy to tackle in the NFL, so I guess a combo of the 3.

I like it all like AP, LT, or an LJ.

 

[Oiler35]

Somebody who's fast can't be caught in the open field.
Somebody who's powerful can't be tackled.
Somebody who's elusive can't be touched.

A mixture of both, like an young-er Ladainian Tomlinson is great.

I enjoy watching someone who is fast and elusive, unless you have yourself a Jacobs RB then imo it's best to have a fast and elusive RB.

But what most teams seem to be doing now is that they get a power RB and a fast RB. Kind of what Carolina has done.

i like Walter Payton
nobody throws a stiff arm like Walter
Only one to get close was Sanders.

And don't tell me Barber, Jacobs, or even Bettis were even close.

I guess that's why I like Forte. Fast enough, but also has that power inside too. He can also throw a damn good stiff arm.
