Re: A question of style: Evan, Roy or Tim?

It's been so long since I've gotten a chance to see each back, that I've honestly forgotten what the differences are between the three. All I know is that both Helu and Royster were very effective with their running styles, and I'm not quite sure there is necessarily a best style, yet each one compliments the other. I think Hightower, if healthy, can still be a quite productive back, but I think he's going to do well to work himself back into the lineup.

Thanks for that video 30gut. I see some GREAT things from both Helu and Royster. It looks like Helu has a bit faster burst of speed, but Royster has pretty good vision in finding the running lanes. I DO think they are a great one/two punch. Would love to see both lined up in the backfield at once! Maybe a triple option type thing with RGIII!

great highlights. Thanks

Watching them it sure seemed like our line was doing a good job of creating lanes at the line of scrimmage, and the runners did a good job of breaking the first guy's tackle.

Wow, I don't think i watched royster in the season. His two runs in this video against the eagles are disgusting. I hope he is actually good and it wasn't just because it was a meaningless game against the worst tackling secondary in the league.

He also tore up the Vikings.

He's legit.
