Everyone is forgetting Cartwright, which gives a 3 headed monster and if we would have kept Mason make that's a 4 headed monster. If Cartwright was to start due to injury I could see him gaining 100yards. He's done it before.

I want to go with Portis/Betts, but we're still working on getting Portis going (that 3.8 ypc is not cool). So the Cowboys have the best running back tandem in the division, as well as the fans most likely to break their arms from patting themselves on the back.

My order:

1 - Dallas - Marion Barber is an absolute STUD! I'd love to have him on our team. F. Jones looks like the real deal. That combo in years to come is going to be scary if Barber doesn't get hurt.
2t - G-Men - Jacobs, Ward, Bradshaw is a great combo
2t - Redskins - Portis / Betts can both be game breakers
4 - Eagles - As good as Westbrook is...if goes down, they have NO ONE!


I think the Skins could be better,it's not your backs but your O-line,there is some age to it.

There's nothing wrong with our OL. Maybe if we didn't miss 2 of our starters last year things would have been different and even so we spanked the G-men at their house. Remember?

Gotta go with the Giants in the East. Although Barber and Jones in Dallas show great potential, Felix Jones has only 3 games in his career and it is way too early to judge IMO

Even with Barber/Jones having scored 6 TDs, while all three G-Men RBs have scored only 2 TDs this season so far?

I'm more impressed with the Dallas line than it's backs. Barber gets a lot of hype but the last time we played them he got 1 yard. Jones is a rookie, who knows for sure? How much is the line and how much is the back? Jacobs is more of a "Barbarian" than Barber. Hard as hell to bring down. Westbrook is a very elusive back who always gives us problems. I like the 1-2 punch we have with Portis and Betts. It does'nt hurt to have the "Beast", Mike Sellers back there either. Portis can break one at any time and is the best blocking back in the league. Betts would be starting on a lot of other teams and is very under-rated. On top of that you've got Sellers back there mowing down people and occasionally catching passes. Nobody wants to hit or be hit by Sellers. Might sound like a homer but I like our guys. As our new offense settles in I think it will showcase our backs talents even more.

Dallas oline gave up its first sack of the season last game. The line has been doing a fantastic job pass blocking and a good job run blocking but the tight ends and wide receivers have played a huge part too.

I forgot about Mike sellers but probably because he has the same amount of rushing attempts as Devin Thomas and Moss which is one attempt.

If we are looking at three back system T Choice could be a starter for another team. Both RB rookies have both been rather impressive thus far, and I can only hope they keep it up and don't end like Julius Jones.
