Re: Broughton is back
 

I'd like to see a comparison of him against a few backs, not just Bush.

1 fumble per every 87 touches is not bad at all and really not a huge concern if you ask me.

He's no Ricky Williams who averages 1 fumble per every 55 touches over his career. Now that's a fumbler.

[quote=J. Spanky;436999]mind you, i'm comparing portis to the other rb's in the league, not to himself.

note [URL="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2007/rushing.htm"]here[/URL] that in 2007, only reggie bust, i mean bush, with 8, had more fumbles than portis' 6.

i'm at work so unfortunately i don't have time to find all kinds of career stats. but i am 100% certain that portis is consistently among the top 5 fumbling rb's.

anyway, i'm a huge portis fan and i don't want to come down on him. i believe him to be one of the top 5 BEST rb's. all i'm saying is i hope the new rb coach's will address the fumbles. similar to how coughlin and his staff addressed tiki's fumblitis when they arrived in ny.[/quote]

DeShaun Foster had 7 according to your link.

Stump Mitchell and Nemo went to the same college (Citadel), so maybe there was a connection there?

Seemed like early on in Tiki Barber's career, that he fumbled every time he had the ball, and Tom Coughlin came in and showed Tiki how to carry the ball differently and it really helped him, hopefully since Zorn was a scrambles, he knows some good ways to protect the football, and can show them to CP, and Ladell, and Rock, and Marcus Mason.

Re: Broughton is back
 

This guy is freaking huge. I don't remember watching him play in pre-season last year, but 5'11, and 255 spells monster. Anyone know what his speed is like? Could you imagine a goaline backfield of him and big Mike Sellers? Ouch.

this link has a few comparisons with other backs in the league

Betts fumbles are the most costly of them all, he is definately not a clutch guy...
