I know a lot of people wanted Lamar Miller but from my understanding Miller is a speed back and with Helu on the roster getting him might have been a bit redundant provided the front office didn't believe that he (Miller) would be the type of guy getting 1,500+ yards a year.

I made the comparison before to the 2008 Giants:
Ward = Helu Jr
Bradshaw = Royster
Morris = Jacobs

Nice combination of speed, power, and all around ability.

Especially with RG3 on the team the Skins should be top 5 in rushing, especially now that they have depth along the offensive line.
That is a good point. One of the best things to do to the wide 9 is gash it up the middle.
